USDOT awarding $55M to support purchase of Low-No buses; electric buses and infrastructure

Green Car Congress

Transitioning the fleet to all electric will eliminate emissions from diesel buses and emissions from shipping diesel fuel by barge 900 miles from Seattle. All of the replacements are diesel powered heavy-duty buses that are past their twelve-year life span. The buses will replace diesel buses that have exceeded useful life.

The most significant challenge was range. Diesel buses typically operate for 18 to 20 hours per day, over a range of about 186-217 miles (300-350 km), using one tank of fuel. Hybrid fuel cell systems can significantly extend range, and many participants believe that future fuel cell buses will be hybridized.
