Center Holds Final Webinar on BEB Familiarization

Posted April 2021

On March 23, 2021, the Center held the final webinar in a three-part series on Battery Electric Bus (BEB) Familiarization. Over 150 attendees joined the 2-hour session to hear presentations on the various battery charging options and considerations. The course was designed for bus technicians, instructors and others to gain a better understanding of BEBs; participants were encouraged to ask questions of the presenters. Attendees heard presentations from the BEB OEMs including BYD, New Flyer and Proterra. The Center for Transportation and the Environment (CTE) also participated.

Evaluations of the session were very positive. Many attendees indicated that learning resources like the BEB Familiarization webinars are invaluable for agencies, particularly small agencies, as they integrate the new propulsion technology. Evaluations also expressed hopes that there would be future sessions.

This webinar, and the others in the series, were recorded and are available for viewing along with the presentation slides and notes on TransitTraining.net .
