Commissioning and Initial Operations

 

This sub-stage refers to the very early months of running the buses and the HRS. Once they are ready to operate, it is likely that teething issues will arise as in any new.

Safety in Operations receives a special focus of its own. The safety record of FCBs has proved impeccable to this point, however attention to safety will always remain key, very particularly in these early stages of widespread usage.

PTOs will also need to integrate data collection and analysis from a new type of vehicle and refuelling infrastructure into their regular IT system and procedures to ensure smooth planning, servicing and operation. The bus and HRS supplier must be contracted to provide these data. With co-funding from public sources, additional data collection and analysis may become necessary beyond PTOs’ usual requirements, to be able to prove quantitative project targets have been met.
