Posted February 2023

The challenges and successes of agencies and operators transitioning from traditional diesel vehicles to battery-electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles were at the forefront of the Busworld conference in Detroit, attended by ITLC’s Technical Training Program Manager James Hall (pictured left), February 5-8. The approximately 300 conference attendees were challenged to look as far into the future as possible and meticulously plan for their fleet’s transition. In addition, emphasis was given to prioritizing safety when updating facilities and to best practices for implementing safety systems for the potentiality of significant component failures. Following the conclusion of the presentations, experts from the Center for Transportation and the Environment (CTE) engaged with audience members to answer questions and connect others with industry experts.
