Abstract:

The Center for Transportation and the Environment partnered with New Flyer, BAE Systems, and MARTA to design, build, test, and evaluate the technology and market readiness of a Reduced Engine Idle Load (REIL) system for diesel and CNG (compressed natural gas) transit buses. A REIL system replaces traditional mechanically-driven accessories with electric accessories to increase fuel efficiency, reduce emissions, and simplify maintenance on conventional propulsion transit bus fleets. The project team was responsible for the system design, laboratory and performance testing, collection of real-world duty cycle route data, development of operational route simulation, and a market evaluation to determine the performance benefits and cost/benefit of such a system. This project received funding under FTA’s Bus Efficiency Enhancements Research and Demonstration (BEERD) Program.
