Effects of cold weather on range of battery and fuel cell electric buses

摘要

The Center for Transportation and the Environment (CTE) in Atlanta, Georgia has collaborated with the Midwest Hydrogen Center of Excellence (MHCoE), Cleveland State University (CSU), and the Stark Area Regional Transit Authority (SARTA) in Ohio to release a study evaluating the relationship between ambient temperature and fuel economy for zero-emission buses. This study builds on previous efforts by incorporating daily-level data into the analysis, allowing the team to capture extreme temperature values that would be masked in an evaluation of monthly data.
