Factors: Regulatory
What vehicles are affected by
the Truck and Bus Regulation?
The regulation apples to all diesel
fueled trucks and buses with a
GVWR greater than 14,000 pounds
that are privately or federally
owned and for privately and
publicly owned school buses
What are requirements for School Buses?
School buses with a GVWR more than 14,000 pounds were required to phase in PM
filters from 2012 to 2014. School bus fleets need to demonstrate that 100% of buses
had PM filters by 2014. If a school bus engine cannot be equipped with a PM filter it
will need to be replaced by January 1, 2018.

Factors: Economic
Researchers at the University of Delaware evaluated the cost effectiveness of using a
Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G)-capable electric school bus compared to a traditional diesel
school bus and determined that the V2G-capable Type A electric bus provides the
school savings of $6,070 per seat or $240,000 per bus in net present value or its useful
life.
Factors: User Optimization
HOW TO OPTIMIZE YOUR ELECTRIC SCHOOL BUS FLEET
Questions to ask:
•
•
•
•
•
•
What is my overall range requirement?
What type of terrain is on the route?
Is there a lot of stop/start cycles? (Urban)
Is there a mix of high speed and stop start on the route? (Rural)
What are the traffic patterns like on the route?
Is the vehicle used only during certain times of the day and is there
considerable downtime?
• What is the payload – how many passengers?
• Is there a large proportion of sustained high speed on the route?
