ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY TRANSIT BUS. FINAL REPORT FOR THE ATTB PROTOTYPES

This report provides results from the evaluation and testing program for the Advanced Technology Transit Bus (ATTB) program. The ATTB development program with Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transit Authority was initiated in 1992 with the objective of developing a lightweight, low floor, low emissions, user-friendly transit bus, using advanced technologies. Under the program, 6 vehicles were developed, produced, and tested. This report presents results of tests conducted on the 6 ATTB prototypes in the following areas: functional, performance, braking, vehicle handling, environmental, structural and durability, operational and road, reliability and maintainability. The report also includes a discussion of the demonstrations, and tests and evaluations conducted on the prototypes at various transit agencies, and at the Pennsylvania Transit Institute bus testing facility in Altoona, Pennsylvania.
