Below is the uncorrected machine-read text of this chapter, intended to provide our own search engines and external engines with highly rich, chapter-representative searchable text of each book. Because it is UNCORRECTED material, please consider the following text as a useful but insufficient proxy for the authoritative book pages.

C-1 Appendix C Industry Standards Related To ZEB Technology The standards provided below are samples of some applicable standards utilized when creating a ZEB specification. As an emerging industry, new practices and standards are being defined and previous standards refined. This list should NOT be used as an all-inclusive listing of applicable standards. Your transit agency should research and understand all standards relevant to your procurement and seek third party assistance if unfamiliar with what standards may apply.

The zero‐emission bus (ZEB) market, including Battery Electric Buses and Fuel Cell Electric Buses, has seen significant growth in recent years. ZEBs do not rely on fossil fuels for operation and have zero harmful tailpipe emissions, improving local air quality. The increase in market interest has also helped decrease product pricing.

The TRB Transit Cooperative Research Program's TCRP Research Report 219: Guidebook for Deploying Zero-Emission Transit Buses is designed to provide transit agencies with information on current best practices for ZEB deployments and lessons learned from previous deployments, industry experts, and available industry resources.
