To complete the EST, you are required to input some general information about your bus fleet such as fleet size and operational time. Take time to follow the instructions on each section to get the most accurate information for the model. There is an external link to help you complete the section about degree days, which will help the model compare hydrogen busses to their battery electric and diesel counterparts.
If there is any information which you do not have available leave the sections blank and the model will input a default value based on our calculated assumptions. However, this will make the model less accurate for your specific fleet.
At the end of the form you will be presented with charts that display the TCO & TCA of the bus fleet based of the information provided. This compares the fuel types of Hydrogen, Battery Electric and Traditional Diesel, as well as a Mixed Fleet approach.
