provided ECO Transit diligently prosecutes such cure to completion at all
times), Contractor shall have the right to terminate this Contract by
written notice delivered by Contractor to ECO Transit at which time ECO

Proterra will give prime consideration to the routine problems of maintaining the vehicle. All coach
components and systems, both mechanical and electrical, which will require periodic physical work
or inspection processes are installed so that a minimum of time is consumed in gaining access to
the critical repair areas. It will not be necessary to disassemble portions of the coach structure
and/or equipment such as seats and flooring under seats in order to gain access to these areas.
Each coach will be designed to facilitate the disassembly, reassembly, servicing or maintenance,
using tools and equipment that are normally available as standard commercial items. Requirements
for the use of unique specialized tools will be minimized.
The body and structure of the coach is made of a monocoque composite material and will be
designed for ease of maintenance and repair. Sections of a monocoque composite body that may
be damaged in normal service are easily repairable with common composite repair techniques.
Ease of repair will be related to the vulnerability of the item to damage in service.

Said list will be submitted as a supplement to the Pricing Schedule.
TS 5.5 Interchangeability
Unless otherwise agreed, all units and components procured under a contract, whether provided by
suppliers or manufactured by Proterra, are duplicates in design, manufacture and installation to
ensure interchangeability among buses in each order group of a procurement. This
interchangeability extends to the individual components as well as to their locations in the buses.
These components include, but are not limited to, passenger window hardware, interior trim, lamps,
lamp lenses and seat assemblies. Components with non-identical functions will not be, or appear to
be, interchangeable.
Any one component or unit used in the construction of Proterra buses will be an exact duplicate in
design, manufacture and assembly for each bus in each order group of a Contract. Proterra will
identify and secure approval for any changes in components or unit construction provided within a
contract.
In the event that the Proterra is unable to comply with the interchangeability requirement, the
contractor will notify the Agency and obtain the Agency’s prior written approval, including any
changes in pricing.

measurements of interior noise levels will be taken in accordance with Altoona 7-1 Interior Noise
Test Procedure.
TS 5.8.2 Exterior Noise
Airborne noise generated by the bus and measured from either side does not exceed 80dBA under
full power acceleration when operated at 0 to 35 mph at curb weight. The maximum noise level
generated by the bus pulling away from a stop at full power does not exceed 83 dBA. The bus-
generated noise at curb idle does not exceed 65dBA. If the noise contained an audible discrete
frequency, a penalty of 5 dBA was added to the sound level measured. Proterra will comply with the
exterior noise requirements defined in local laws and ordinances identified by the Agency and
SAEJ366.
TS 5.9 Fire Safety
The bus is designed and manufactured in accordance with all applicable fire safety and smoke
emission regulations. These provisions include the use of fire-retardant/low-smoke materials, fire
detection systems, bulkheads and facilitation of passenger evacuation.

All materials used in the construction of the passenger compartment of the bus are in accordance
with the Recommended Fire Safety Practices defined in FMVSS 302. An option is available to meet
the requirement for FTA Docket 90-A.
TS 5.10 Fire Suppression
Proterra’s Battery Management System (BMS) provides a constant mechanism for fire detection in
the Energy Storage System (ESS). In addition, operating electric propulsions systems does not
generate the heat like an internal combustion engine; with the maximum temperature in the rear
ProDrive area typically measuring at 10 degrees F warmer than the ambient temperature. As such,
the standard configuration is for no fire suppression system. However, options for fire suppression
are available if the agency has a strong preference for it.
TS 5.11 Respect for the Environment
In the design and manufacture of the bus, Proterra has made every effort to reduce the amount of
potentially hazardous waste. In accordance with Section 6002 of the Resource Conservation and

TS 6.8 Floor Height
Height of the step above the street is no more than 16 in. measured at the centerline of the front
doorway. The height of the step above the street is no more than 17in. measured at the centerline
of the rear doorway. All floor measurements are with the bus at the design running height and on a
level surface and with the standard installed tires. Two steps are designed to accommodate a
raised aisle floor in the rear of the bus. The floor is inclined along the longitudinal axis of the bus,
and the incline will be less than 3 1/2 degrees off the horizontal except locally at the doors where a
maximum 5 degrees slope toward the door is allowed. The floor height is dictated by the placement
of the battery packs under the floor and between the wheels which provides the following major
benefits:
• Lower center of gravity, better handling
• Increased safety
• No HV batteries inside the passenger compartment
• Batteries are lower than the side impact height for automobiles
Proterra buses are capable of full kneeling functionality.
TS 6.9 Interior Headroom
Headroom above the aisle and at the centerline of the aisle seats is not less than 78 in. in the
forward half of the bus tapering to no less than 74 in. forward of the rear settee. At the centerline of
the window seats, headroom is not lower than 65 in. Headroom at the back of the rear bench seat
may be reduced to a minimum of 56 in, but it will increase to the ceiling height at the front of the
seat cushion. In any area of the bus directly over the head of a seated passenger and positioned
where a passenger entering or leaving the seat is prone to strike his/her head, padding will be
provided on the overhead paneling.
TS 6.10 Aisle Width
The minimum clear aisle width between pairs of transverse seats with all attached hardware is at
least 22 in.
The aisle width between the front wheelhouses is at least 35.5 in., and the entire area between the
front wheelhouses is available for passengers and mobility aid devices.

below. The results below summarize the minimum performance capability of a Catalyst 40’ E2
bus.
TS 7.1 Top Speed
40’ Catalyst E2 is capable of achieving a top speed of 65 mph on a straight, level road at GVWR
with all accessories operating. The bus is capable of safely maintaining the vehicle speed
according to the recommendations by the tire manufacturer.
TS 7.2 Gradeability
The ProDrive propulsion system enables the bus to achieve a speed of 40 mph on a 2½ percent
ascending grade and 15 mph on a 10 percent ascending grade. As an exception, under some
circumstances the vehicle speed may be reduced to 28 MPH on a 2.5% grade and to 12 MPH on a
10% grade to thermally protect drivetrain components. The two contributing factors are ambient
temperature and time spent ascending the grade. Gradeability requirements are met on grades with
a dry commercial asphalt or concrete pavement at GVWR with all accessories operating.
TS 7.3 Acceleration
The acceleration of the 40’ Catalyst E2 meet the requirements in Table 3 below and is sufficiently
gradual and smooth to prevent throwing standing passengers off-balance. Acceleration measure-

POWERPLANT
TS 9. Propulsion System Description
The Proterra 40’ Catalyst E2 is a 100% battery electric powered transit bus. Proterra's high-
performance ProDrive™ drivetrain maximizes performance and efficiency to meet the challenges of
most routes. It consists of three major components; the permanent magnet synchronous traction
motor, the power inverter, and the two-speed automated manual transmission where the traction
motor and the transmission are the only moving parts.

Table 4-Traction Motor Technical Specifications
The unique Proterra two-speed transmission contains a planetary gear set with a pneumatically
driven shift mechanism. The transmission is oil-cooled and contains an additional oil cooler to
ensure that the transmission remain at ideal temperatures under the most difficult driving cycles.
The output of the transmission supplies power to the ZF drop center rear axle.
All actuators and sensors for the transmission are connected to the Proterra powertrain controller
which controls both the torque/speed commands of the traction motor as well as the transmission
shift actuation. These controls have been optimized for transit bus service for best drivability and
maximized efficiency. They are designed and calibrated using real world data from customer
vehicles, engineering tests utilizing proprietary drive cycles and standard FTA drive cycles (CBD,
Arterial, Commuter), and using our high-fidelity simulation tool similar to the model used for fuel
economy analysis.
With the two-speed transmission Proterra can utilize a smaller, lighter traction motor to meet the
needed performance requirements while still offering excellent efficiency. This transmission also
allows the powertrain system the flexibility to provide the needed torque while also operating at
more efficient traction motor operating points.
The combination of the traction motor, the power inverter, and the transmission are a primary rea-
son why the Catalyst broke the Altoona records for acceleration, efficiency, and gradeability.
TS 9.1 Propulsion Control System
The propulsion control system is capable of transmitting and receiving electronic inputs and
data from drivetrain components, and broadcasting that data to other vehicle systems.
Communication between electronic drivetrain components and other vehicle systems is
made using the communications networks.
The vehicle system has onboard diagnostic capabilities able to monitor vital motor functions,
store and time stamp parameter conditions in memory, and communicate faults and vital
conditions to service personnel. Diagnostic reader device connector ports, suitably protected

against dirt and moisture, is provided in the operator’s area. The onboard diagnostic system
informs the operator via visual and/or audible alarms when out of parameter conditions exist
for vital engine functions. The on-board diagnostic system has capabilities for storing hard
and soft codes and processing data and provide detailed information/reports on various
aspects of fleet usage. The information is retrievable via cabling or wireless transmission to
a laptop.
The motor drive protects the drive system against progressive damage. The system
monitors conditions critical for safe operation and automatically de-rate power and/or speed
and initiate motor shutdown as needed. The on-board diagnostic system triggers a visual
and audible alarm to the operator when the motor control unit detects a malfunction and the
engine protection system is activated.
The propulsion control system is designed with redundancy in mind. For certain failure
conditions, a “limp home mode” driving condition is available which enables limited vehicle
operation to reduce the need for towing. It is Proterra’s design principle to allow for some
level of safe operation if the failure allows.
A control is available to the operator to allow a 30-second override, which, when depressed,
will allow the operator to delay the drive system shutdown but not the activation and alarm
system.
TS 9.2 Propulsion System Service
The propulsion motor is designed to operate for not less than 300,000 miles without
major failure or significant deterioration. Components of the control system are
designed to operate for not less than 150,000 miles without replacement or major
service.
The propulsion system is arranged so that accessibility for all routine maintenance is
assured. No special tools, other than dollies and hoists, are required to remove the
propulsion system or any subsystems. However, the Agency shall recognize that
properly rated test equipment and safe electrical work practices are essential when
servicing high voltage components. Proterra will provide all specialty tools and
diagnostic equipment required for maintaining the Propulsion System in accordance
with Special Tools List.

TS 10. Energy Storage System
The Energy Storage System (ESS) is an integrated system that was designed with safety as top pri-
ority. The ESS will be described by the five main sections to this system:
10.1) the battery chemistry, 10.2) the mechanical design, 10.3) the electrical design, 10.4) the con-
trol system interacting with the battery system, and 10.5) Energy storage system safety.
TS 10.1 Battery Chemistry
The Catalyst E2 vehicles utilize a proprietary high-energy density battery chemistry that falls into
the broader category of lithium-ion batteries. The high-energy density allows for more on-board en-
ergy storage without the need to add battery packs to the passenger cabin or on the roof. The bat-
tery cells are provided from a top tier, global EV battery manufacturer that currently supports major
automotive and heavy-duty vehicle OEMs. These cells are proven EV batteries that have been ex-
tensively tested to validate battery safety, both by the cell manufacturer and by Proterra’s world-
class battery engineering team.
TS 10.2 Mechanical Design
The mechanical design starts with the battery packs themselves and the carbon-fiber reinforced
body structure, then continues through to the structure encasing the battery modules and the actual
module designs. The bus body incorporates four primary composite stringers that run the length of
the body, surrounding the underbody-mounted battery packs between the front and rear axles.
Each of these four stringers incorporates full-length, pultruded carbon fiber stringers that maximize
strength to weight ratio and add stiffness and rigidity to the battery box surround. It should also be
noted that the body serves as a natural electric insulator due to its composite construction vs. a
metal chassis normally associated with a transit bus. The vertical location of the battery boxes be-
hind these beams is also located below bumper height of most vehicles which provides additional
protection from a direct side impact. This location also provides for an extremely low center of grav-
ity as well as an ideal weight distribution.
Each pack is contained in an aluminum enclosure that is reinforced with 3mm of a heavy-duty poly-
urethane spray-on covering that lends individual protection to its sub-components. The pack is de-
signed to be sealed to IP66/7 and ANSI/ISE 60529-2004 standards. The pack also fully contains
any electrolyte should a cell leak (pursuant to SAE J1766) and meets the 1,000 hours salt spray per
ASTM B 117 testing. The packs are designed to handle 5g half-sine peak shock accelerations. The
modules within the battery packs are actively cooled to keep the batteries in the ideal temperature
range to maximize battery life and comply with the requirements from the battery manufacturer. The
battery cooling system includes a chiller integrated with the HVAC system that runs if the ambient
environment is too warm for the module manufacturer’s desired system set-points. The battery
management system monitors cell voltage, temperature and current to ensure safe performance.
Should the cooling system fail, the controls monitor and limit operation as a function of temperature,
so that the vehicle will function and de-rate performance safely while indicating a fault to the opera-
tor. In this way, a cooling system failure will not result in a hard or immediate stop in operation.

TS 10.3 Battery Thermal Management
Battery thermal management is powered whenever the battery contactors are
closed. Therefore, the bus in charging mode or on would have all battery thermal
functions monitored. Diagnostics monitor the performance of the Battery Thermal
Management System, pumps, fan and chiller and will set faults in the event a
problem is detected. The batteries will automatically derate (reduce their power
output) if they become too hot so that cooling system failures will not damage the
batteries. Thermal management has appropriate safety interlocks installed to react
to adverse conditions as stated in SAE J1772.
Battery temperatures never exceeds the Proterra’s recommended range during
operation in the design operating profile and specified ambient conditions. Battery
cooling is sufficient to prevent the temperature from exceeding the Proterra’s
recommended maximum temperature when the ambient temperature is above 105
degrees F for a period of 16 hours.
TS 10.4 Electrical Design
The wiring from each pack is insulated and shielded to industry standards and passes into the cen-
ter cavity formed between the stringers under the vehicle, referred to as “Broadway”. Broadway
provides a protected route the length of the bus back to the high voltage junction box in the rear
compartment of the vehicle. This is where the individual batteries are bussed together to provide for
one high voltage electrical system. The high voltage interlock circuit and control wires for the bat-
tery system run along this route with the high voltage cables for maximum safety.

Proterra Confidential Information
Each battery pack is internally fused and contains a set of contactors. The contactors are located
near the pack outputs. Each pack also contains an individual pack controller which serves as a cen-
tral hub to gather and report information specific to that pack. Each battery module has a monitoring
board that measures voltage of each cell and performs cell balancing. This information is communi-
cated to the pack controller via serial communication.
TS 10.5 Battery Management System
The battery management system (BMS) performs the following functions:
A. The BMS system is capable of monitoring the voltage level of cells within each
battery pack. The BMS reads and stores individual battery or block voltages at a
frequency of 1 data point per block every 15 seconds. The system also monitors
battery pack temperatures using no fewer than 2 thermocouples placed in and
around each battery pack sampled at the same 4 samples per minute frequency.
B. The BMS system is capable of communicating when a battery fault (as defined
by Proterra) has occurred and is able to identify and communicate the faulty
battery in order to perform maintenance.
C. The BMS system is capable of engaging prudent safety interlocks when an
unsafe battery condition has been detected.
D. The BMS system is able to monitor the battery state-of charge and update a
gauge viewed by the operator at least once every 15 seconds.
E. The BMS system is able to communicate all data to the bus level information
system for storage and communication.
TS 10.6 Control System
The battery control system is a hierarchical control with the energy storage module (ESM) acting as
the interface and lead controller to the rest of the battery system. This module communicates on the
main vehicle CAN bus to interface with the cooling, powertrain, charge and other systems. This
module can also communicate on the separate battery CAN bus with all of the individual packs.
The main controller exchanges information about battery input and output capability as well as cool-
ing needs and diagnostic information.
The pack controllers control the contactors internal to the pack. They also gather the current infor-
mation as well as pack voltage, cell voltage, and temperature information. Pertinent data is pro-
vided back to the master controller which uses this information to compute system limits, determine
overall health status, and apply system-wide boundaries on use. The system uses algorithms and
feedback to know the position of all contactors. The temperature measurements in the pack are re-
dundant. There are also additional sensors that perform miscellaneous items like moisture detection
in each pack. The battery system algorithms coordinate all activities related to the safety and perfor-
mance of the system.

The battery control system provides system discharge limits to ensure that the lowest cell never
goes below its minimum and that the highest cell never goes above its maximum allowable state.
The system is also designed to monitor current imbalances between the packs, temperatures
throughout all the packs, moisture, and isolation detection. Should loss of communication occur with
a pack or module, the system will gracefully handle this with independent fault actions.
TS 10.7 Energy Storage Safety
The energy storage system (ESS) is designed and constructed such that occupants will not be ex-
posed to hazardous electrical current during normal operation or in the event of an accident as de-
fined by ECE80 and APTA TS 23.2 (Crashworthiness).
Under normal conditions, the ESS is designed to protect against electric shock per ISO 6469-3. The
protection is composed of:
-Basic protection measures against direct contact with live parts
-All high voltage circuits are rated to IPXXB for direct contact.
-Measures for protection under single fault conditions.
-The isolation resistance is continuously monitored to ensure adequate isolation.
-If the isolation resistance value is less than 500 Ohm/V, a diagnostic event is triggered.
-If the isolation resistance value is less than 100 Ohm/V, a diagnostic event is triggered and an indi-
cator light is displayed on the dashboard.
Each high voltage battery pack utilizes a set of two contactors, independently capable of providing
galvanic isolation between Class A and Class B circuits.
-The contactors are implemented in a manner to comply with SAE J2929, Section 4.13.1 Protection
Against High Voltage Exposure, Automatic Disconnects.
•Each high voltage battery pack utilizes a manual service disconnect (MSD).
-The MSD is implemented in a manner to comply with SAE J2929, Section 4.13.2 Protection
Against High Voltage Exposure, Manual Disconnects.

TS 11. Charging the Catalyst
The 40’ Catalyst E2 comes standard with a single manual charging port located at the rear
curb-side of the bus that meets the SAE J1772 CCS Type 1 North American standard for
plug-in charging. Additional options are available for dual charge ports located either on
each rear side of the bus.
The port(s) is capable of charging at 350A continuously. That is the equivalent of 140kW per
port assuming a nominal system voltage of 400 VDC. The charge port is capable of
supporting charging with a peak voltage of 500 VDC.
TS 12. Cooling Systems
This vehicle utilizes two independent cooling loops to cool the high-voltage batteries and the power
electronics on the vehicle.
TS 12.1 Battery Coolant Loop
The battery coolant loop has two dedicated coolant pumps that circulate coolant through a battery
coolant heater, the battery packs, into the HVAC integrated chiller plate, and back through an inline
coolant filter before returning to the coolant pumps. The coolant heater and chiller plate provide
heating and cooling, independently, as required to maintain battery temperatures.
TS 12.2 Power Electronics Loop
The power electronics loop also has a dedicated coolant pump that circulates coolant through the
power electronic units that require cooling, through a three fan radiator and then through a strainer
to repeat the loop. The transmission is equipped with a standalone oil-to-air cooler mounted next to
the transmission.
The cooling systems is of sufficient size to maintain the motor, electronics and batteries at a safe,
continuous operating temperatures during the most severe operations possible and in accordance
with the manufacturers’ cooling system requirements. System temperatures are monitored and the
cooling system controlled to ensure equipment temperature is maintained in a safe range. The fan
control system is designed with a fail-safe mode of “fan on.” The cooling system meets the
requirements stated in the operating environment. The coolant system consists of the following
components:

TS 12.2.1 Radiator Screen
The 40’ Catalyst E2 design does not require a radiator screen. The power electronics loop is
equipped with 1 radiator. This radiator, is located on the roof and is effectively screened from large
debris which eliminating the need for a radiator screen. It is designed to withstand thermal fatigue
and vibration associated with the installed configuration. The radiator cores are easily cleaned with
standard pressure-washing equipment.
TS 12.2.2 Coolant
The 40’ Catalyst E2 is equipped with coolant filtration. The water filter is sized properly with an in-
line element and does not contain supplemental coolant additives.
TS 12.2.3 Drive Design
The 40’ Catalyst E2 is equipped with an electric fan drive bus cooling system. A screen guard is
installed on electric motor fans per SAE J1308.
TS 12.2.4 Mounting
The 40’ Catalyst E2 is equipped with a roof mounted radiator.
TS 12.3 Transmission Cooling
The transmission is cooled by a dedicated heat exchanger sized to maintain operating fluid within
the transmission manufacturer’s recommended parameters of flow, pressure and temperature. The
transmission cooling system is separate from the motor cooling system. The transmission cooling
system is a standalone system designed to circulate oil through a small radiator next to the
transmission (See figure 5).
TS 13. Transmission
The Proterra Catalyst uses an electronically-controlled pneumatically shifted 2-speed gear box
(transmission) provided by Eaton. A torque converter and retarder are not needed. The
transmission rated torque, power and speed limits are compatible with the motor capabilities. The
transmission is designed to operate for not less than 300,000 miles on a transit bus operating
profile without replacement or major service. The transmission is easily replaceable without
removing the motor and accessible for service from the underside of vehicle.

Proterra Confidential Information
The controls system is capable of transmitting and receiving electronic inputs and data from other
vehicle components through the vehicle CAN network. The control system is powered by the
vehicle 24 V distribution system. The control system is responsible for shift execution of the
transmission which is done by monitoring powertrain component and driver inputs to select the
most appropriate gear. At a minimum, drivetrain components consisting of the motor, transmission
and anti-lock braking systems are powered to ensure data communication among components
exists when the vehicle ignition is switched to the “on” position.
A moderate brake pedal application is required by the driver to engage forward or reverse range
from the neutral position to prevent sudden acceleration of the bus from a parked position.
The electronically controlled powertrain and vehicle controller has on-board diagnostic capabilities,
is able to monitor functions, store and time-stamp out-of-parameter conditions in memory, and
communicate faults and vital conditions to service personnel, in coordination with the body
controls/diagnostic tool. The transmission contains built-in protection software to guard against
severe damage. The on-board diagnostic system triggers a visual alarm to the driver when the
electronic control unit detects a malfunction.
Although the 2-speed transmission is an automatically shifted unit, it has a manual transmission ar-
chitecture, i.e. gears, shafts and shift collars but with no clutches, or torque converter, therefore
there is not a need to monitor the fluid on an ongoing basis. The fluid will remain at a constant level
between specified fluid change intervals. The oil change frequency recommended for Proterra’s
transmission is 100,000 miles. In automotive applications, manual transmissions never require an
oil change and thus level indications are not required.
The transmission shifts to neutral immediately when the park brake is applied. However, when the
parking brake or door brake interlock is active the traction motor is prohibited from applying torque
for functional safety requirements. The driver is required to apply the service brake to re-engage
forward or reverse gear selection. The door interlock system inhibits vehicle motion by applying the
rear brakes until the doors close again. In fact, what happens at zero speed highlights the major dif-
ference between Proterra’s EV powertrain and a conventional diesel bus. In a Proterra bus, zero
speed means the motor is not spinning. For a diesel bus, the engine still spins at idle so that
powertrain requires the torque converter to decouple the engine from the transmission.
Proterra’s transmission also does not shift to neutral while the hill hold feature is active. It stays in
gear, but the motor is not spinning. When this feature is activated the brake system will lock allow-
ing the vehicle to stay stationary.
Because the all-electric powertrain is consuming very little power at a complete stop and has no
rotation, there is no reason to automatically select neutral when the parking brake or door brake
interlock is applied.
TS 14. Regenerative Braking
The Proterra bus utilizes two main systems to slow down or decelerate the vehicle, a standard
pneumatic friction brake system and regenerative braking. Regenerative braking uses the main

Proterra Confidential Information
traction motor to generate electricity which is then captured and used to charge the main High Volt-
age (HV) battery. The ability to capture energy while braking, results in a large improvement in en-
ergy efficiency of the vehicle. On a traditional vehicle the energy created during braking is lost to
heat through either the friction brake or the retarder.
When the driver lifts off the accelerators pedal (zero pedal) ~70% of available regenerative braking
torque is automatically applied. The remaining 30% of available regenerative braking is then applied
linearly when the driver begins to press on the brake pedal. The pneumatic brakes begin to work
linearly with increased brake pedal travel. The feel of the regenerative braking system is similar to a
traditional retarder.
Regenerative braking is reduced below 3mph to make low speed bus movement smoother. In the
event of an ABS or Traction Control event, regenerative braking is automatically disabled until the
vehicle comes to a complete stop. At that point it is automatically re-enabled. This is done to ensure
vehicle stability in slippery conditions.
An efficient driver will be able to drive nearly completely with limited use of the brake pedal and very
limited use of the friction brakes. Drivers should anticipate stops and allow regenerative braking to
slow the vehicle for maximum energy recapture.
TS 15. Mounting
All powerplant mounting is mechanically isolated to minimize transfer of vibration to the body
structure and provide a minimum clearance of 0.75 in. Mounts control the movement of the
powerplant so as not to cause strain in piping and wiring connections to the powerplant.
TS 15.1 Service
The propulsion system is arranged for ease of access and maintenance. The only special
mechanical tool needed for service is a hydraulic lift table for the transmission, motor and battery
removal. The air compressor, radiator, all accessories and any other component requiring service
or replacement is easily removable and independent of the motor and transmission removal. Since
the 40’ Catalyst E2 is equipped with an electric traction motor, there is no exhaust, oil or air intake
systems to service.
TS 16. Hydraulic Systems
Hydraulic system service tasks are minimized and scheduled no more frequently than those of
other major coach systems. All elements of the hydraulic system are easily accessible for service or
unit replacement. Critical points in the hydraulic system are fitted with service ports so that portable
diagnostic equipment may be connected or sensors for an off-board diagnostic system permanently
attached to monitor system operation when applicable.
Proterra’s standard system has a hydraulic pump which does not include cleanable strainers. The
pump is operated by an electric motor, which is controlled by the Motor Controller (Variable
Frequency Drive). The pump and motor are non-serviceable assemblies and must be replaced
when failed. The only device powered by the hydraulic system is the power steering system. The
hydraulic system operates within the allowable temperature range as specified by the lubricant

manufacturer. The hydraulic system is mounted approximately under the driver and is accessible
from the outside of the vehicle. The modular system can be removed with four bolts. The supply
tank is also mounted external of the vehicle and has a magnet drain plug for ease of service and
enables maximum heat dispersion.
Our vehicle offers no gauges in the motor compartment. The diagnostic ports on the interior of the
vehicle and the diagnostics on the dash allow you to access all systems in order to troubleshoot any
issues that are occurring. In addition, we meet the following specs also:
- Mean time between repairs >50,000 miles
- Max oil temp does not exceed 200°F
- Max system working pressure = 2,000 psi
- Hoses comply w/ SAE 100R2 / SAE 100R9 / SAE J517
- Hose installation complies w/ SAE J1273
- High pressure hose fittings comply w/ SAE J516 w/ 37° flare
- Suction line fluid velocity is under 4 ft/sec
- Discharge line fluid velocity is under 25 ft/sec
TS 16.1 Fluid Lines
All lines are rigidly supported to prevent chafing damage, fatigue failures, degradation and tension
strain. Lines are sufficiently flexible to minimize mechanical loads on the components. Lines
passing through a panel, frame or bulkhead are protected by grommets (or similar devices) that fit
snugly to both the line and the perimeter of the hole that the line passes through to prevent chafing
and wear. Pipes and fluid hoses are not bundled with or used to support electrical wire harnesses.
Lines are as short as practicable and are routed or shielded so that failure of a line will not allow the
contents to spray or drain onto any component operable above the auto-ignition temperature of the
fluid.
All hoses, pipes, lines and fittings are specified and installed per the manufacturer’s
recommendations. The 40’ Catalyst E2 comes standard with EPDM hoses for better securement
and reliability. Cooler temperatures provided in an electric bus do not require the use of the more
expensive, less reliable silicon hoses. Proterra’s coolant system is regulated to only 13 psi which
allows the use ¼” to 1” coolant hose that meet SAE J20R3 and 1.5” coolant hoses that meet SAE
J20R1. In addition, SAE J2044 Quick Connects and hose barb fittings are use across the system.
TS 16.2 Fittings and Clamps
All clamps maintain a constant tension at all times, expanding and contracting with the line in
response to temperature changes and aging of the line material. These clamps are manufactured
from magni coated carbon spring steel and rated at 1000 hours of salt spray according to ASTM
B117. The lines are designed for use in the environment where they are installed.

Compression fittings are standardized to prevent the intermixing of components. Compression
fitting components from more than one manufacturer are not mixed, even if the components are
known to be interchangeable.
TS 16.3 Charge Air Piping
The lack of an engine precludes the use of a turbocharger is in the 40’ Catalyst E2.
TS 17. Radiator Piping
The 40’ Catalyst E2 radiator piping is powder-coated steel rated at 1000 hours of salt spray
according to ASTM B117. Where practical, hoses are kept to a minimum. Necessary hoses are
impervious to all bus fluids. All hoses are secured with constant tension clamps manufactured from
magni coated carbon spring steel and rated at 1000 hours of salt spray according to ASTM B117,
that provide a complete 360° seal. The clamps maintain a constant tension at all times, expanding
and contracting with the hose in response to temperature changes and aging of the hose material.
The radiator will be accessible for cleaning and will be easily removable from the bus.
TS 18. Oil and Hydraulic Lines
Oil and hydraulic lines are compatible with the substances they carry. The lines are designed and
intended for use in the environment where they are installed. Lines within the motor compartment
are composed of steel tubing where practical, except in locations where flexible lines are required.
Hydraulic lines of the same size and with the same fittings as those on other piping systems of the
bus, but not interchangeable, are tagged or marked for use on the hydraulic system only.
TS 19. Emissions and Exhaust
TS 19.1 Exhaust Emissions
The 40’ Catalyst E2 is a zero emission vehicle and therefore meets all applicable emission
standards.
STRUCTURE
TS 20. General
TS 20.1 Design
The structure of the bus is designed to withstand the transit service conditions typical of an urban or
intercity duty cycle throughout its service life. The vehicle structural frame is designed to operate
with minimal maintenance well beyond the FTA mandated 12-year design operating profile.
The 40’ Catalyst E2 has an all-composite, corrosion-proof monocoque body manufactured from
high strength materials such as carbon fiber and molded fiberglass with a balsa wood core. The
benefits of using the composite body include: a lighter total vehicle weight (reducing the impact to
local roads / infrastructure), improved vehicle efficiency and fuel economy, improved thermal and
noise reducing properties, exceptional torsional stiffness (resulting in an excellent ride and han-
dling), increased durability, corrosion resistance, and best-in-class safety.

TS 21. Validation Testing (Including Altoona)
Federal Transit Bus Test report number LTI-BT-R1406 documents the performance of the 40-foot
Proterra Catalyst BE40 vehicle during its 12 Year / 500,000 miles service-life testing at Altoona. The
testing completed in April of 2015 and the final report was published in May 2015.
Proterra anticipated excellent performance results for its second-generation 40-foot Catalyst vehicle
based on the lessons learned from deploying the 35 foot BE35 EcoRide and given the considerable
amount of design engineering that went into the vehicle. For instance, Proterra’s vehicle design
team was able to reduce the vehicle weight by over 1,000lbs on a vehicle that is six (6) feet longer
than its predecessor.
The Catalyst vehicle didn’t disappoint, breaking Altoona records for efficiency, gradeability, weight
and acceleration. While conventional diesel buses average 3.86 MPG, the Proterra Catalyst
achieved the best efficiency rating ever for a 40-foot transit bus at 1.7kW/mi (or 22 MPGe). Nearly
six times more efficient than a diesel or CNG bus, the Catalyst is also more energy efficient per mile
than other electric buses that have been through the same tests. The end result is that operating
Proterra buses translates to a lower lifetime energy consumption.
Gradeability has been a historic obstacle for electric buses, which until now, weighed more and had
less power, making steep inclines difficult if not impossible to climb. The Catalyst conquered a
15.5% grade, unprecedented in this test by an electric bus. Also, due to the composite nature of the
bus body, Proterra’s curb weight was measured at only 27,370lbs, meaning that the Proterra Cata-
lyst is not only lighter than any other electric bus (leading to greater efficiency), but also more dura-
ble than buses made of aluminum or steel and less prone to corrosion. As proof of the vehicle’s su-
perior power-to-weight ratio, the Proterra 40′ Catalyst also achieved 0-20 acceleration in just 6.7
seconds.
TS 21.1 Post-Altoona Upgrades
Since the testing at Altoona, Proterra has used the test results as they are intended, to improve the
design and reliability of our 40-foot Catalyst vehicle. Most items noted in the Altoona report have
since received a design update in order to improve the areas that failed. While the sole Class 2 fail-
ure is explained in greater detail below, we stand ready to review any and all details
from the report if the agency so desires.
The 40-foot Catalyst bus experienced a class 2 failure of the vertical wall where the rear suspension
bracket, which mounts the four-bar suspension, is attached. The vertical wall failed in the area
where it was molded to the bottom surface of the body. The extended downtime noted in the Al-
toona report is attributed to the time it took to complete the root cause analysis, which involved
physical inspections of the failure, independent reviews by a third-party engineering firm, and failure
reviews by the body supplier relative to their initial Finite Element Analysis (FEA). The result of the
root cause investigation was that the composite structure in this area was incorrectly manufactured
by Proterra’s body supplier.
The composition of the composite body (referred to as the “laminate schedule”) design for the body
structure was improved based on results of the root cause analysis. An updated laminate schedule

was developed, validated via physical testing, and then retrofitted to the Altoona test bus in the fail-
ure area in order to sustain the applied loads. As a result, the Altoona test bus was returned to the
test track and successfully completed the remaining Altoona testing with no further composite body
issues. After the successful completion of the Altoona test, Proterra’s body supplier retrofitted the
bodies which had been previously delivered and updated the laminate schedule for all future pro-
duction buses. To stand by the performance of the Proterra Catalyst design, Proterra includes a
standard warranty for 12 years or 500,000 miles against defects pertaining to the composite body
structure.
TS 21.2 Altoona Testing for the 40’ Catalyst E2
As identified in 49 CFR 665.11 - Testing requirements (d), because the 40’ Catalyst BE40 has pre-
viously been tested at Altoona, but since the E2 variant of the vehicle has an upgraded Energy
Storage System (ESS),constituting “a major change in chassis or components”, the E2 variant re-
quired partial testing in place of full testing. The testing was completed in August of 2017 and the
final report was published in September 2017.
The 40’ Catalyst E2 completed the Performance and Fuel Economy segments of the full Altoona
testing after the bus check-in. The 40’ Catalyst E2 vehicle now boasts the industry’s longest operat-
ing range documented at Altoona, 203.8 miles on a Heavy-Duty Urban Dynamometer Driving
Schedule (HD-UDDS), besting prior Altoona-recorded ranges from competing electric buses of
87.01 miles and 128.6 miles.
Please note that Proterra is currently transitioning to a larger front axle (ZF Model RL82 EC with an
8200kg / 18,078lbs GAWR) to address the potential front axle overweight issue noted in the Altoona
report. Add advantage to new axle or section where advantages are
TS 21.3 Structural Validation
Prior to acceptance of first bus, the vehicle will have completed any FTA-required Altoona testing.
Any items that required repeated repairs or replacement will undergo corrective action with support-
ing test and analysis. A report clearly describing and explaining the failures and corrective actions
taken to ensure that any and all such failures will not occur will be submitted to the Agency. The
Altoona Test Report will be provided at the request of the Agency.
TS 21.4 Post Testing
In 2016, a Proterra Catalyst vehicle completed 4-Post Durability Testing at Exova Defiance in Michi-
gan. The purpose of the test was to validate the vehicle design over a simulated 750,000 miles. The
testing is broken up into six segments, each representing 125,000 miles of service and taking ap-
proximately 25 days to complete. Overall the bus spent 8 months completing the 4-post testing.
While we learned a great deal about the durability of components attached to the body structure
(e.g. air bags, etc.), the composite body did not disappoint, with no structural or body issues noted
during the simulated 18-year testing (no Class 2 failures and the handful of Class 3 failures reme-
died at the beginning of the test). In general, all our major manufacturing processes and engineer-
ing designs were validated to 50% past the FTA mandated service life of vehicle.

TS 22. Distortion
The bus, loaded to GVWR and under static conditions, did not exhibit deflection or deformation that
impairs the operation of the steering mechanism, doors, windows, passenger escape mechanisms
or service doors. Static conditions include the vehicle at rest with any one wheel or dual set of
wheels on a 6 in. curb or in a 6 in. deep hole.
TS 23. Resonance and Vibration
All structure, body and panel-bending mode frequencies, including vertical, lateral and torsional
modes, are sufficiently removed from all primary excitation frequencies to minimize audible, visible
or sensible resonant vibrations during normal service.
TS 23.1 Motor Compartment Bulkheads
The passenger and motor compartment are separated by fire-resistant bulkheads. This bulkhead
shall preclude or retard propagation of an motor compartment fire into the passenger compartment
and is in accordance with the Recommended Fire Safety Practices defined in FTA FMVSS 302.
There is no access panel from inside of the bus that allows for anyone to reach the ProDriver.
Harnesses have connectors at the bulkhead and we don't have engine access panels.
Only necessary openings are allowed in the bulkhead, and these are fire-resistant. Climate
controlled air does not pass through the motor compartment. Wiring passing through the bulkhead
use connectors or other means to prevent or retard fire propagation through the bulkhead.

TS 23.2 Crashworthiness
Regarding the body’s best-in-class safety and structural rigidity, a Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
was completed in order to ensure the bus body
and roof structure will withstand a static load
equal to 150 percent of the curb weight evenly
distributed on the roof with no more than a 6 in.
reduction in any interior dimension. Windows will
remain in place and will not open under such a
load. These requirements are met without the
roof-mounted equipment installed.
The finite element analysis shows the bus will
withstand a 25 mph impact by a 4000lb
automobile at any side, excluding doorways,
along either side of the bus with no more than 3
in. of permanent structural deformation at
seated passenger hip height. This impact will
not result in sharp edges or protrusions in the
bus interior.
The finite element analysis shows the body below 35 in. from ground level will withstand a static
load of 2000 lbs applied perpendicular to the bus by a pad no larger than 5 sq in. This load will not
result in deformation that prevents repair of the body to the original appearance of the bus. Reports
are available upon request.
TS 24. Corrosion
The bus flooring, sides, roof, understructure and axle suspension components are designed to
resist corrosion or deterioration from atmospheric conditions and de-icing materials for a period of
12 years or 500,000 miles, whichever comes first. It will maintain structural integrity and nearly
maintain original appearance throughout its service life, with the Agency’s use of proper cleaning
and neutralizing agents.
All materials that are not inherently corrosion resistant are protected with corrosion-resistant
coatings. All joints and connections of dissimilar metals are corrosion resistant and are
protected from galvanic corrosion. The metallic structural components under the bus body
(ProDrive, Axles) are first electrocoated (e-coated), then powder-coated to ensure maximum
corrosion protection to meet the 1,000 hour ASTM B117 requirement with no red rust or
weight loss. This provides a superior corrosion protection when compared to zinc chromate
or zinc phosphate prime paints. There are no roll cage under the bus, but any tubes under
body are e-coated then powder coated so inner surface is protected.
Representative samples of all materials and connections withstand a two-week (336-hour) salt
spray test in accordance with ASTM Procedure B-117 with no structural detrimental effects to
normally visible surfaces and no weight loss of over 1 percent.

The 40’ Catalyst E2 body is manufactured from a composite material consisting of high strength
fiberglass, carbon fiber in high stress areas that is infused with resin. Sub frames for the front and
rear suspension are manufactured from high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steel that is E-coated and
powder-coated. The combination of composite body and treated sub frames yields an entire vehicle
which is corrosion resistant.
TS 25. Towing
Each towing device withstands, without permanent deformation, tension loads up to 1.2 times the
curb weight of the bus within 20° of the longitudinal axis of the bus. The rear towing device(s) will
not provide a toehold for unauthorized riders. The method of attaching the towing device will not
require the removal, or disconnection, of front suspension or steering components.
Shop industrial type air connectors are provided at the front and rear street side of the bus and are
capable of supplying all pneumatic systems of the bus with externally sourced compressed air. The
location of these shop air connectors facilitate towing operations.
A plug connector permanently mounted at the front of the bus provides for bus tail lamp, marker,
stop and turn signal lamp operation as controlled from the towing vehicle. The connector includes a
spring-loaded dust- and water-resistant cap.
The front towing devices allow attachment of adapters for a rigid tow bar and permit the lifting and
towing of the bus, at curb weight, while the front wheels are clear off the ground. These devices
also permit common flat towing.
Two rear recovery devices/tie downs do not permit the lifting of the bus to the extent where the rear
wheels are lifted off the ground. The method of attaching the tow bar or adapter requires the
specific approval of the Agency. Any tow bar or adapter exceeding 50 lbs will have means to
maneuver or allow for ease of use and application. Each towing device accommodates a crane
hook with a 1 in. throat.
Upon request, the 40’ Catalyst E2 vehicle can be manufactured with additional support
permitting the lifting and towing of the bus for a short distance, such as in cases of an
emergency, to allow access to provisions for front towing of bus.
TS 26. Jacking
It is possible to safely jack up the bus, at curb weight, with a common 10-ton floor jack with or
without special adapter, when a tire or dual set is completely flat and the bus is on a level, hard
surface, without crawling under any portion of the bus. Jacking from a single point permits raising
the bus sufficiently high to remove and reinstall a wheel and tire assembly. Jacking pads located on
the axle or suspension near the wheels permits easy and safe jacking with the flat tire or dual set on
a 6 in. high run-up block not wider than a single tire. The bus withstands such jacking at any one or
any combination of wheel locations without permanent deformation or damage.
Jacking pads are painted safety yellow and decals are applied to identify locations. The locations
shown below are the Proterra recommended jacking locations:

TS 27. Hoisting
The bus axles or jacking plates accommodate the lifting pads of a two-post hoist system. Jacking
plates, if used as hoisting pads, are designed to prevent the bus from falling off the hoist. Other
pads or the bus structure supports the bus on jack stands independent of the hoist.
The vehicle is capable of being lifting by the wheels.
The locations shown below are the Proterra recommended hoisting locations:
The bus may be picked up by the following locations, but MUST have a surface area of no less than
5 square inches per mounting pad that contacts the bus body. The zones shown below are ac-
ceptable lifting areas:

wheel housings. The vehicle floor in the area of the entrance and exit doors has a lateral slope not
exceeding 2° to allow for drainage.
The floor design consists of two levels (bi-level construction). Aft of the rear door extending to the
rear settee riser, the floor height is not raised to a height more than 21 in. above the lower level,
with equally spaced steps. An increase slope does not to exceed 3.5° off the horizontal.
TS 28.2 Strength
The floor deck is integral with the basic structure and designed to last the life of the bus. Sheet
metal screws are not used to retain the floor, and all floor fasteners are serviceable from one side
only. Any adhesives, bolts or screws used to secure the floor to the structure will last and remain
effective throughout the life of the coach. All floor fasteners are secured and protected from
corrosion for the service life of the bus.
The floor deck is reinforced as needed to support passenger loads. At GVWR, the floor will have an
elastic deflection of no more than 0.60 in. from the normal plane. The floor withstands the
application of 2.5 times gross load weight without permanent detrimental deformation. The floor,
with coverings applied, withstands a static load of at least 150 lbs applied through the flat end of a
½ in. diameter rod, with 1/32 in. radius, without permanent visible deformation.
TS 28.3 Construction
Proterra’s 40’ Catalyst™ E2 composite floor is integral with the basic structure and consists of the
subfloor and the floor covering that will last the life of the bus. The floor as assembled, including
the sealer, attachments and covering, is waterproof, non-hygroscopic and resistant to mold growth.
The subfloor is resistant to the effects of moisture, including decay (dry rot). It is impervious to
wood-destroying insects such as termites.
TS 29. Platforms
TS 29.1 Driver’s Area
The covering of platform surfaces and risers, except where otherwise indicated, are the same
material as specified for floor covering. Trim is provided along top edges of platforms unless integral
nosing is provided.
TS 29.2 Driver’s Platform
The APTA specification requires the driver’s platform to be of a height such that, in a seated
position, the driver can see an object located at an elevation of 42 in. above the road surface, 24 in.
from the leading edge of the bumper. With a 5th percentile female at the lowest seated position,
there is a section of the top of the dash that is 20 inches wide where the object could not be seen.
The platform height does not position the driver such that the driver’s vertical upward view is less
than 15°. A warning decal is provided to alert the driver to the change in floor level. Figure 10
illustrates the means by which this requirement was determined.

provide accessibility for the driver without compromising passengers’ access. Stanchions are
located around the farebox.
TS 29.4 Rear Step Area to Rear Area
The vehicle is a bi-level floor design. A rear step area is provided along the center aisle of the bus
to facilitate passenger traffic between the upper and lower floor levels. This step area is cut into the
rear platform and is approximately the aisle width, a minimum 12 in. deep and approximately half
the height of the upper level relative to the lower level. The horizontal surface of this platform is
covered with skid-resistant material with a visually contrasting nosing and is sloped slightly for
drainage. A warning decal or sign is provided at the immediate platform area to alert passengers to
the change in floor level.
TS 30. Wheel Housing
TS 30.1 Design and Construction
Sufficient clearance and air circulation is provided around the tires, wheels and brakes to preclude
overheating when the bus is operating on the design operating profile. Wheel housings are
constructed of corrosion-resistant and fire-resistant material.
Wheel housings, as installed and trimmed, withstand impacts of a 2in. steel ball with at least 200 ft-
lbs of energy without penetration.

Proterra Confidential Information
Interference between the tires and any portion of the bus is not possible in maneuvers up to the
limit of tire adhesion with weights from curb weight to GVWR. Wheel housings are adequately
reinforced where seat pedestals are installed. Wheel housings have sufficient sound insulation to
minimize tire and road noise and meet all noise requirements of this specification.
Design and construction of front street side wheel housings allows for the installation of a radio or
electronic equipment storage compartment on the interior top surface. Design and construction of
front curb side wheel housings allows its use as a luggage rack.
The finish of the front wheel housings is scratch-resistant and complement interior finishes of the
bus to minimize the visual impact of the wheel housing. The wheel housings are color-impregnated
to match interior finishes. The lower portion extending to approximately 10 to 12 in. above the floor
is equipped with scuff-resistant coating or stainless steel trim.
Wheel housings not equipped with seats or equipment enclosure have a horizontal assist mounted
on the top portion of the housing no more than 4 in. higher than the wheel well housing.
The wheel housing are designed to have the ability to chain buses.

TS 31. Suspension
TS 31.1 General Requirements
The front and rear suspensions are pneumatic type, with a heavy-duty ZF Independent Front
Suspension (IFS). It has a smaller turning radius them typical transmissions, better ride quality,
improved vehicle handling, higher roll stiffness, and less load on road surface by reducing unsprung
masses. The basic suspension system will last the service life of the bus without major overhaul or
replacement. Adjustment points are minimized and will not be subject to a loss of adjustment in
service. Routine adjustments are easily accomplished by limiting the removal or disconnecting the
components.
TS 31.2 Alignment
All axles are properly aligned so the vehicle tracks accurately within its size and geometry of the.
TS 31.3 Springs and Shock Absorbers
TS 31.3.1 Suspension Travel
The suspension system permits a minimum wheel travel of 2.75 in. jounce-upward travel of a wheel
when the bus hits a bump (higher than street surface), and 2.75 in. rebound-downward travel when
the bus comes off a bump and the wheels fall relative to the body. Elastomeric bumpers are
provided at the limit of jounce travel. Rebound travel is limited by elastomeric bumpers or
hydraulically within the shock absorbers. The suspensions incorporates Smart Air Management
Systems (SAMS) for automatic height control so that regardless of load the bus height relative to
the centerline of the wheels does not change more than ½ in. at any point from the height required.
The safe operation of a bus will not be impacted by ride height up to 1 in. from design normal ride
height. The SAMS system is able to raise and lower the chassis while moving at slow speeds, can

TS 31.3.2 Damping
Vertical damping of the suspension system is accomplished by hydraulic shock absorbers mounted
to the suspension arms or axles and attached to an appropriate location on the chassis. Damping is
sufficient to control coach motion to three cycles or less after hitting road perturbations. The shock
absorber bushing is made of elastomeric material that will last the life of the shock absorber. The
damper incorporates a secondary hydraulic rebound stop.
TS 31.3.3 Lubrication
All elements of steering, suspension and drive systems requiring scheduled lubrication will be
provided with grease fittings conforming to SAE Standard J534. These fittings are located for ease
of inspection and are accessible with a standard grease gun from a pit or with the bus on a hoist.
Each element requiring lubrication has its own grease fitting with a relief path. The lubricant
specified shall be standard for all elements on the bus serviced by standard fittings and is required
no less than every 6000 miles.
TS 31.3.4 Kneeling
A kneeling system lowers the entrance(s) of the bus a minimum of 2.5 in. during loading or
unloading operations regardless of load up to GVWR, measured at the longitudinal centerline of the
entrance door(s) by the driver. The kneeling control provides the following functions:
• Downward control must be held to allow downward kneeling movement.
• Release of the control during downward movement will completely stop the lowering motion
and hold the height of the bus at that position.
• Upward control actuation allows the bus to return to normal floor height without the driver
having to hold the control.
The brake and throttle interlock prevents movement when the bus is kneeled. The kneeling control
is disabled when the bus is in motion. The bus kneels at a maximum rate of 1.25 in. per second at
essentially a constant rate. After kneeling, the bus will rise within 4 seconds to a height permitting
the bus to resume service and will rise to the correct operating height within 7 seconds regardless

All friction points on the front axle are equipped with replaceable bushings or inserts and, if needed,
lubrication fittings easily accessible from a pit or hoist.
The steering geometry of the outside (frontlock) wheel is within 2° of true Ackerman up to 50
percent lock measured at the inside (backlock) wheel. The steering geometry is within 3.5° of true
Ackerman for the remaining 100 percent lock measured at the inside (backlock) wheel.
TS 33.2 Steering Wheel
TS 33.2.1 Turning Effort
Steering effort is measured with the bus at GVWR, stopped with the brakes released on clean, dry,
level, commercial asphalt pavement and the tires inflated to recommended pressure.
Under these conditions, the torque required to turn the steering wheel 10° is no less than 5 ft-lbs
and no more than 10 ft-lbs. Steering torque may increase to 70 ft-lbs when the wheels are
approaching the steering stops, as the relief valve activates.
Power steering failure will not result in loss of steering control. With the bus in operation, the
steering effort will not exceed 55 lbs at the steering wheel rim, and perceived free play in the
steering system will not materially increase as a result of power assist failure. Gearing will require
no more than seven turns of the steering wheel lock-to-lock.
Caster angle will be selected to provide a tendency for the return of the front wheels to the straight
position with minimal assistance from the driver.
TS 33.2.2 Steering Wheel, General
The steering wheel diameter is available in either 18 in or 20 in.; the rim diameter is ⅞ to 1¼ in. and
shaped for firm grip with comfort for long periods of time.
Steering wheel spokes and wheel thickness ensures visibility of the dashboard so that vital
instrumentation is clearly visible at center neutral position (within the range of a 95th-percentile
male, as described in SAE 1050a, Sections 4.2.2 and 4.2.3). Placement of steering column is as far
forward as possible, and in line with the instrument cluster.
TS 33.2.3 Steering Column Tilt

TS 36. Brakes
TS 36.1 Service Brake
Proterra’s 40’ Catalyst™ E2 is equipped with self-adjusting disc brakes on the four wheel ends
manufactured by Knorr-Bremse. The brakes are equipped with a rubber bush with axial ribbing (see
figure 14 arrow H). The pads/disc wear can be visually determined without removing the wheel, by
noting the position of the wear marker point see arrow G, the change-over point from the ribbed to
the smooth surface (see Figure 14).

Proterra Confidential Information
If dimension C is less than 1 mm, the brake pad thickness and brake disc must be checked with the
wheel removed (see Figure 15).
Figure 15-Dimension C with worn disc/brake pads
If any minimal tolerance limits have been reached the pads and/or disc must be changed.
TS 36.2 Actuation
Service brakes are controlled and actuated by a compressed air system. Force to activate the brake
pedal control is an essentially linear function of the bus deceleration rate and will not exceed 75 lbs
at a point 7 in. above the heel point of the pedal to achieve maximum braking. The heel point is the
location of the driver’s heel when his or her foot is rested flat on the pedal and the heel is touching
the floor or heel pad of the pedal. The ECU for the ABS system is protected, yet in an accessible
location to allow for ease of service.
Microprocessor controlled automatic traction control (ATC) is provided.
TS 36.3 Friction Material
The brake linings are made of non-asbestos material. In order to aid maintenance personnel in
determining extent of wear, brakes are equipped with a rubber bush with axial ribbing as specified
at TS 36.1 indicating the thickness C (see figure 15) at which replacement becomes necessary is
provided on each brake lining.
TS 36.4 Hubs and Drums/Discs
Replaceable wheel bearing seals are run on replaceable wear surfaces or are of an integral wear
surface sealed design. Wheel bearing and hub seals and unitized hub assemblies will not leak or
weep lubricant when operating on the design operating profile for the duration of the initial
manufacturer’s warranty.
The bus is equipped with disc brakes on all axles, and the brake discs allow machining of each side
of the disc to obtain smooth surfaces per manufacturer’s specifications.
The brake system material and design was selected to absorb and dissipate heat quickly so that the
heat generated during braking operation does not glaze the brake linings.

TS 36.5 Parking/Emergency Brake
The parking brake is a spring-operated system, actuated by a valve that exhausts compressed air
to apply the brakes. The parking brake may be manually enabled when the air pressure is at the
operating level per FMVSS 121. The parking brake valve button will pop out when air pressure
drops below requirements of FMVSS 121.
An emergency brake release is provided to release the brakes in the event of automatic
emergency brake application. The driver can manually depress and hold down the
emergency brake release valve to release the brakes and maneuver the bus to safety. Once
the driver releases the emergency brake release valve, the brakes engage to hold the bus in
place. Air to the emergency brake release system is provided by a dedicated emergency air
tank.
TS 37. Interlocks
TS 37.1 Passenger Door Interlocks
To prevent opening rear passenger doors while the bus is in motion, a speed sensor is integrated
with the door controls to prevent the rear door from being enabled or opened unless the bus speed
is less than 2 mph.
To preclude movement of the bus, an accelerator interlock locks the accelerator in the closed
position, and a brake interlock engages the service brake system to stop movement of the bus
when the driver’s door control is moved to an open position, or the rear door panel is opened more
than 3 in. from the fully closed position (as measured at the leading edge of the door panel). The
interlock engagement brings the bus to a smooth stop and will be capable of holding a fully loaded
bus on a 6 percent grade, until the interlocks are released. These interlock functions are active
whenever the vehicle master run switch is in any run position.
All door systems employing brake and accelerator interlocks are supplied with supporting failure
mode effects analysis (FEMA) documentation, which demonstrates that failure modes are of a
failsafe type, thereby never allowing the possibility of release of interlock while an interlocked door
is in an unsecured condition, unless the door master switch has been actuated to intentionally
release the interlocks.
The brake interlock regulator is non-adjustable.
As an option, an accelerator interlock locks the accelerator in the closed position, and a brake
interlock engages the service brake system to stop movement of the bus whenever front doors are
open.
TS 38. Pneumatic System
TS 38.1 General
The bus air system operates the air-powered accessories and the braking system with reserve
capacity. New buses will not leak down more than 5psi over a 15-minute period of time as indicated

SAE J844. Nylon tubing is installed in accordance with the following color-coding standards:
• Green: Indicates primary brakes and supply.
• Red: Indicates secondary brakes.
• Brown: Indicates parking brake.
• Yellow: Indicates transmission and ride height controller feed (we don't have governor air
lines).
• Black: Indicates accessories & doors.
• Blue: Indicates curb side air bags.
• Orange: Indicates street side air bags
Line supports prevent movement, flexing, tension, strain and vibration. No copper or rigid lines are
used in the pneumatic system of the Proterra bus. Nylon lines may be grouped and are supported
at 30 in. intervals or less.
The compressor discharge line between power plant and body-mounted equipment is a flexible
Teflon hose with a braided stainless steel jacket. Other lines necessary to maintain system
reliability are flexible Teflon hose with a braided stainless steel jacketed fittings. They use standard
SAE or JIC brass or steel, flanged, swivel-type fittings. Braided flexible hoses are as short as
practicable and individually supported. They will not touch one another or any part of the bus except
for the supporting grommets. Flexible lines are supported at 2ft intervals or less.
Air lines are clean before installation and are installed to minimize air leaks. All air lines are routed
to prevent water traps to the extent possible. Grommets or insulated clamps protect the air lines at
all points where they pass through understructure components.
TS 38.4 Air Reservoirs
All air reservoirs meet the requirements of FMVSS Standard 121 and SAE Standard J10 and are
equipped with drain plugs and guarded or flush type drain valves. Major structural members protect
these valves and any manual moisture ejector valves from road hazards. Reservoirs are sloped
toward the drain valve. All air reservoirs have drain valves that discharge below floor level with
lines routed to eliminate the possibility of water traps and/or freezing in the drain line. The Proterra
Catalyst uses a single analog needle to display the lowest air pressure in both the primary and
secondary reservoirs instead.
The single air pressure gauge displays the lowest pressure of the two systems. Our system does
not use pressure regulators (except for pneumatic doors). Our controls regulate our pressure and
all 3 pressures (primary, secondary, & aux) can be read at the dash.

ELECTRICAL, ELECTRONIC AND DATA COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS
TS 39. Overview
The vehicle control system is based around a vehicle controller from Continental VDO with KIBES-
32 firmware developed for heavy duty vehicles.
The Continental VDO vehicle control system is based around several hardware components. The
ZR-32A is the master controller and contains all the functionality software that controls the main ve-
hicle components. The multiplexing units distribute the master controller’s needed discreet and an-
alog inputs and outputs to convenient locations around the vehicle. The fully integrated driver’s in-
strument cluster contains all needed gauge dials and tell tales. Additionally the instrument cluster
includes a high performance digital display that is used to inform the driver of various system states
including additional driver tell-tale indications, overhead charging instructions and diagnostic infor-
mation.
The ZR-32A controller is based on two, 32-bit RISC processors with internal 1024kB flash for pro-
gram memory and SRAM for data parameter storage. It can run 5 independent data networks, at
speeds up to 500kB/s based on the CAN J1939 architecture. The CAN (Controller Area Network)
is a high-integrity serial data communications bus for real-time applications governed by ISO 11898
and has safety-agency approval for passenger vehicle control.
The MUX-2B units run on an 8-bit processor, having internal programming memory and are
equipped with 24 quasi-analog status inputs, 6 dedicated analog inputs, and 32 digital outputs with
internal fault detection and protection. The digital outputs are organized in sub groups to be able to
run sets of independent systems (i.e., 12V loads as well as 24V loads including outputs that have
current capacity up to 10 amps).
The utilized networks are:
• PCAN: Used for high-performance systems like the Traction Motor, cooling System, bat-
tery management and ABS.
• MCAN: Used for the multiplexing units that distribute the master controller’s needed dis-
crete and analog inputs and outputs to convenient locations around the vehicle.
• ICAN: Used for interfacing with the driver’s instrument cluster including the digital display
screen. This network includes communicating the discreet input/outputs available from
the instrument cluster as well as controlling the clusters dial gauges, tell-tales and what is
displayed on the digital display.

TS 39.1 Modular Design
Design of the electrical, electronic and data communication systems are modular so that each
electronic device, apparatus panel, or wiring bundle is easily separable from its interconnect by
means of connectors.
Power plant wiring is an independent wiring harness. Replacement of the ProDrive compartment
wiring harnesses does not require pulling wires through any bulk head or removing any terminals
from the wires. As an exception, there is a multicore cable that runs from the ProDrive to the power
steering motor at the front of the vehicle. This cable passes through 2 bulkheads and is part of a
ProDrive harness.
TS 40. Environmental and Mounting Requirements
The electrical system and its electronic components are capable of operating in the area of the
vehicle in which they will be installed, as recommended in SAE J1455.
Electrical and electronic equipment are not located in an environment that will reduce the
performance or shorten the life of the component or electrical system when operating within the
design operating profile. No vehicle component generates, or is affected by, electromagnetic
interference or radio-frequency interference (EMI/RFI) that can disturb the performance of
electrical/electronic equipment as defined in SAE J1113 and UNECE Council Directive 95/54 (R10).
TS 40.1 Hardware Mounting
The mounting of the hardware is not used to provide the sole source ground, and all hardware is
isolated from potential EMI/RFI, as referenced in SAE J1113.
All electrical/electronic hardware mounted in the interior of the vehicle is inaccessible to passengers
and hidden from view unless intended to be viewed. The hardware is mounted in such a manner as
to protect it from splash or spray.
All electrical/electronic hardware mounted on the exterior of the vehicle that is not designed to be
installed in an exposed environment is mounted in a sealed enclosure.
All electrical/electronic hardware and its mounting complies with the shock and vibration
requirements of SAE J1455.

TS 41.1.2 Battery Cables
The battery terminal ends and cable ends are color-coded with red for primary positive, black for
negative and green for the intermediate voltage (12 volts). Positive and negative battery cables do
not cross each other, are flexible and are sufficiently long to reach the batteries. The cables do not
lie directly on top of the batteries. Battery cables are continuous except for the connection to the
master battery switch and are bolted terminals meeting SAE Standard J1127-Type SGX. Battery
cables are sized at 2/0 and are more than sufficient to “start” the bus.
TS 41.1.3 JumpStart
Proterra provides a red (24V) Anderson-style connector in the motor compartment (ProDrive),
equipped with dust cap and adequately protected from moisture, dirt and debris. Alternate connect-
ors are available as an option.
TS 41.1.4 Battery Compartment
The battery compartment prevents accumulation of snow, ice and debris on the top of the batteries
and is vented and self-draining. It is only accessible from the outside of the vehicle. All compo-
nents within the battery compartment, and the compartment itself, is protected from damage or cor-
rosion from the electrolyte. The inside surface of the battery compartment’s access door is electri-
cally insulated. The battery compartment temperature does not exceed manufacturer’s specifica-
tion.
The vehicle is equipped with a 12VDC and 24VDC quick disconnect switch. The battery quick dis-
connect access door is identified with a decal. The battery hold-down bracket is constructed of
nonconductive and corrosion-resistant material.
The access door is designed to require a square key lock. The access doors are flush-fitting and
incorporate a spring tensioner to retain the door in a closed position when not in use.
The batteries are securely mounted on a powder-coated steel tray which accommodates the size
and weight of the batteries. The battery tray pulls out easily and properly supports the batteries
while they are being serviced. A locking device retains the battery tray in the stowed position. No
sparking devices are located within the battery box.
TS 41.1.5 Auxiliary Electronic Power Supply
The standard vehicle does not utilize any gel-packs or sealed non-vented batteries for auxiliary
power. If gel-packs or sealed non-vented batteries are installed, Proterra will comply with this para-
graph and install them in a labeled, vented compartment accessible only to maintenance personnel.
TS 41.1.6 Master Battery Switch
The location of the master battery switch is clearly identified on the exterior access panel, is acces-
sible in less than 10 seconds. The installation prevents corrosion from fumes and battery acid when
the batteries are washed off or in normal service.

Turning the master switch off with the power plant operating, during an emergency, shuts off the
motor and does not damage any component of the electrical system. The master switch is capable
of carrying and interrupting the total circuit load.
The standard configuration is equipped with a single switch for disconnecting 12V and 24V power.
The access panel is locked with a standard square key.
TS 41.1.7 Low -Voltage Generation and Distribution
The low-voltage generating system maintains the charge on fully charged batteries. The low-voltage
batteries are maintained through a DC/DC converter by the high-voltage batteries. There is no gen-
erator.
Voltage monitoring and over-voltage output protection is provided.
Dedicated power and ground are provided as specified by the component or system manufacturer.
Cabling to the equipment is sized to supply the current requirements of heavy-duty systems with no
greater than a 5 percent voltage drop across the length of the cable.
TS 41.1.8 Circuit Protection
All branch circuits are protected by current-limiting devices such as circuit breakers, fuses or solid
state devices sized to the requirements of the circuit. The circuit breakers or fuses are easily acces-
sible for authorized personnel. Fuse holders are constructed to be rugged and waterproof. All in-line
fuses are shown in the final schematic drawings. Manually resettable circuit breakers provide a vis-
ible indication of open circuits.
Circuit breakers or fuses are sized to a minimum of 15 percent larger than the total circuit load. The
current rating for the wire used for each circuit exceeds the size of the circuit protection being used.
TS 41.2 Grounds
The batteries are grounded to the chassis in a single location, as close to the batteries as possible.
Ground bars are provided throughout the bus, evenly distributed to prevent ground loops. No more
than five ground ring/spade terminal connections are made per ground stud with spacing between
studs ensuring conductivity and serviceability. Electronic equipment and systems requiring an iso-
lated ground to the battery is not grounded through the chassis.
TS 41.3 Low Voltage/Low Current Wiring and Terminals

harness. Kinking, grounding at multiple points, stretching, and exceeding minimum bend radius are
prevented.
Strain-relief fittings are provided at all points where wiring enters electrical compartments. Grom-
mets or other protective material is installed at points where wiring penetrates metal structures out-
side of electrical enclosures. Wiring supports are protective and non-conductive at areas of wire
contact and will not be damaged by heat, water, solvents or chafing.
To the extent practicable, wiring is not located in environmentally exposed locations under the vehi-
cle. Wiring and electrical equipment necessarily located under the vehicle is insulated from water,
heat, corrosion and mechanical damage. Where feasible, front-to-rear electrical harnesses are in-
stalled above the window line of the vehicle.
All wiring harnesses over 5 ft. long and containing at least five wires include 10 percent (minimum
one wire) excess wires for spares. Wiring harness length allow end terminals to be replaced twice
without pulling, stretching or replacing the wire. Terminals are crimped to the wiring according to the
connector or manufacturer’s recommendations for techniques and tools.
Cable connectors are locking type, keyed and sealed, unless enclosed in watertight cabinets or the
vehicle interior. Pins are removable, crimp contact type, of the correct size and rating for the wire
being terminated. Unused pin positions are sealed with sealing plugs. Adjacent connectors use dif-
ferent inserts or different insert orientations to prevent incorrect connections.
Terminals are crimped, corrosion-resistant and full ring type or interlocking lugs with insulating fer-
rules. When using pressure type screw terminal strips, only stranded wire is used. Insulation clear-
ance ensures that wires have a minimum of “visible clearance” and a maximum of two ties the con-
ductor diameter or 1/16 in., whichever is less. When using shielded or coaxial cable, upon stripping
of the insulated, the metallic braid is free from frayed strands.
Ultra-sonic and T-splices may be used with 8 awg or smaller wire. When T-splice is used, it meets
these additional requirements:
• It includes a mechanical clamp.
• The wire supports no mechanical load in the area of the splice.
• The wire is supported to prevent flexing.
All splicing is staggered in the harness. Wiring located in the motor compartment (Pro Drive) is
routed away from high-heat sources or is shielded and/or insulated from temperatures exceeding
the wiring and connector operating requirements.
The instrument panel and wiring are accessible for service from the driver’s seat or top of the panel.
The instrument panel is separately removable and replaceable without damaging the instrument

panel or gauges. Wiring is of sufficient length and routed to permit service without stretching or
chafing the wires.
As standard we use HellermanTyton heavy-duty cable management system (which includes plastic
tie wraps) which is the standard mechanism for securing wires in our vehicle.
TS 41.4 Electrical Components
All electrical components, including switches, relays, flashers and circuit breakers, are heavy-duty
designs with either a successful history of application in heavy-duty vehicles or design specifica-
tions for an equivalent environment.
All electric motors are heavy-duty brushless type where practical, and have a continuous duty rating
of no less than 40,000 hours, except washer pumps and wiper motors.
All electric motors are easily accessible for servicing.
TS 41.5 Electrical Compartments
Relays, controllers, flashers, circuit breakers and other electrical components are mounted in easily
accessible electrical compartments. Compartments exposed to the outside environment are corro-
sion-resistant and sealed. The components and their functions in each electrical compartment are
identified and their location recorded on a schematic drawing permanently attached to the inside of
the access panel or door. The drawing is protected from oil, grease, fuel and abrasion. The front
compartment is completely serviceable from the driver’s seat.
“Rear start and run” controls are not required as the electric drive motor does not idle like a diesel
or CNG engine. Alternatively, a “run disable” switch is located in the motor compartment (Pro-
Drive). It will disable the drive system and gear selection without requiring the vehicle to be turned
off. The switch is protected and rated for the environment it is installed in. Also, 12/24V disable
switch and High Voltage Disconnect is also available in the motor compartment. Both of these
switches can be locked in the off position with a lockout-tagout system. The bus has two diagnostic
ports in the front and rear interior and a diagnostic tool for accessing vehicle information which can
communicate wirelessly or via bluetooth.
TS 42. General Electronic Requirements
If an electronic component has an internal real-time clock, it will provide its own battery backup to
monitor time when battery power is disconnected, and/or it may be updated by a network compo-
nent. If an electronic component has an hour meter, it will record accumulated service time without
relying on battery backup.
Proterra will ensure that their electronic equipment is self -protecting in the event of shorts in the ca-
bling, and also in over-voltage and reverse polarity conditions. If an electronic component is re-

quired to interface with other components, it will not require external pull-up and/or pull-down resis-
tors. Where this is not possible, the use of pull-up or pull-down resistor is limited as much as possi-
ble and is easily accessible and labeled.
TS 42.1 Wiring and Terminals
Kinking, grounding at multiple points, stretching and reducing the bend radius below the manufac-
turer’s recommended minimum is not permitted except at our overhead charge cable installation
which does result in certain areas where the bend radius is below the minimum recommended ra-
dius. However, these cables have been tested by the manufacturer and Proterra expects the design
as installed to last the life of the vehicle.
The Proterra Catalyst vehicles have protective coverings over the high voltage wiring from the bat-
tery packs and for wiring to the ProDrive area where the traction motor, transmission, and air sys-
tem are located.
TS 42.1.1 Discrete I/O (Inputs/Outputs)
Wiring to I/O devices, either at the harness level or individual wire level, are labeled, stamped or
color-coded in a fashion that allows unique identification at a spacing not exceeding 4 in. Wiring for
each I/O device is bundled together. Where I/O terminals are the same voltages, jumpers may be
used to connect the common nodes of each I/O terminal.
TS 42.1.2 Shielding
Wiring that requires shielding meets the following minimum requirements. A shield will be generated
by connecting to a ground, which is sourced from a power distribution bus bar or chassis. To extent
possible the shield will be connected to one side only. However, some shields are grounded at both
ends per the component manufactures installation instructions (i.e. power cables between the motor
and Inverter).
When using shielded or coaxial cable, upon stripping of the insulation, the metallic braid is free from
frayed strands, which can penetrate the insulation of the inner wires. To prevent the introduction of
noise, the shield will not be connected to the common side of a logic circuit.
TS 42.1.3 Communications
The data network cabling is installed according to the selected protocol requirements. The physical
layer of all network communication systems is not used for any purpose other than communication
between the system components, unless provided for in the network specifications.
Communications networks that use power line carriers (e.g., data modulated on a 24V power line)
meet the most stringent applicable wiring and terminal specifications.

TS 42.1.4 Radio Frequency (RF)
Coaxial cable is used to carry the signal for all RF components such as radios, video devices, cam-
eras, global positioning systems, etc. Connectors are minimized, since each connector and crimp
has a loss that will attribute to attenuation of the signal. Cabling allows for the removal of antennas
or attached electronics without removing the installed cable between them. The corresponding com-
ponent vendors will be consulted for proper application of equipment, including installation of ca-
bles.
TS 42.1.5 Audio
Cabling used for microphone level and line level signals is 22 AWG minimum with shielded twisted
pair. Cabling used for amplifier level signals is 18 AWG minimum.
TS 43. Multiplexing
TS 43.1 General
The primary purpose of the multiplexing system is control of components necessary to operate the
vehicle. This is accomplished by processing information from input devices and controlling output
devices through the use of an internal logic program.
Versatility and future expansion is provided for by an expandable system architecture. The multiplex
system is capable of accepting new inputs and outputs through the addition of new modules and/or
the utilization of existing spare inputs and outputs. All like components in the multiplex system are
modular and interchangeable with self-diagnostic capabilities. The modules are easily accessible
for troubleshooting electrical failures and performing system maintenance. Multiplex input/output
modules use solid-state devices to provide extended service life and individual circuit protection.
Ten percent of the total number of inputs and outputs, or at least one each for each voltage type
utilized (12V, 24V) at each module location is designated as spares.
The Multiplex system has a number of different outputs that are individually rated to 1A, 3A,
5A or 10A max. The CAN wiring is SAE J1939 approved. Module power is GXL wiring which
is SAE 1128 approved.
TS 43.2 System Configuration
Proterra’s 40’ Catalyst™ E2 multiplexing is centralized. The system consist of several modules
connected to form a control network. It utilizes a Continental VDO multiplex system. This system is
managed by a master vehicle controller, ZR-32A. It provides the configurability and the control
required to integrate all systems on the bus.
TS 43.2.1 I/O Signals
The input/output for the multiplex system contains three types of electrical signals: discrete,
modulating and analog.

Proterra Confidential Information
Discrete signals reflect the on/off status of switches, levers, limit switches, lights, etc. Analog
signals reflect numerical data as represented by a voltage signal (for example 0–5V) or resistance
signal (for example NTC thermistor). Both types of analog signals represent the status of variable
devices such as rheostats, op-amps, potentiometers, temperature probes, etc.
TS 44. Data Communications
TS 44.1 General
All data communication networks are in accordance with a nationally recognized interface standard,
such as those published by SAE, IEEE or ISO.
Any electronic vehicle components used on a network are conformance tested to the corresponding
network standard.
The vehicle is designed with a fully integrated diagnostic system were the master vehicle controller,
ZR-32A, monitors and records the fault status from all systems on the main PCAN network as well
as fault status from the multiplex devices. This includes subsystems such as the powertrain
controller, cooling system, ABS system, HVAC system, battery management system and other
power devices. This diagnostic system also includes the detection of loss of communication of all
individual devises on the PCAN and MCAN network.
All faults are recorded, time stamped, odometer stamped and assigned a priority level based on the
severity of the fault. These priority levels are broken into 10 groups ranging from the most severe
fault requiring an immediate vehicle shutdown to the least severe fault requiring attention at the next
service interval. Some minor faults are only recorded to help the technician troubleshoot issues and
are not indicated to the driver. Various indicators communicate to the driver the severity and priority
of the fault. These indicators include a general red or amber LED tell-tale, fault specific LED tell-
tales, fault specific driver’s screen displayed tell-tales and/or an audible buzzer.
Many faults have the ability to automatically reset if a fault is no longer active. All faults that are active
or previously active are accessed using the Proterra service tool or the maintenance menus accessi-
ble from the driver’s instrument cluster. The Proterra service tool has a troubleshooting guide to aid
in quick resolution of individual faults. The following inform ation is displayed when using the instru-
ment cluster and Proterra service tool:
• Fault status (active or previously recorded and inactive)
• Identifying number (SPN and FMI according to J1939)
• General description of part faulted (SPN description)
• Type of fault (FMI description; i.e. value to high, to low, data erratic, loss of communication)
• Mux input or output pin where fault was detected or system where fault was originated
• Time, date and odometer reading at time of fault
A vehicle data logger is provided to monitor J1939 communications System. It provides:
• Continuous monitoring and recording of the PCAN J1939 data bus.
• Software that can generate structured reports using the gathered data.

• Software to create tools for incident definition, data import/export, analysis and presentation.
• Software for recording of user selected J1939 fault codes.
TS 44.2 Drivetrain Level
Drivetrain components, consisting of the drive motor inverters, regenerative braking system, anti-
lock braking system and all other related components, are integrated and communicate fully with
respect to vehicle operation with data using SAE Recommended Communications Protocols J1939.
Drivetrain components are powered by a supply voltage to ensure data communication among
components exists when the vehicle ignition is switched to the “on” position.
TS 44.2.1 Diagnostics, Fault Detection and Data Access
Drive train performance, maintenance and diagnostic data, and other electronic messages are
formatted and transmitted on the communication network.
The drivetrain level has the ability to record abnormal events in memory and provide diagnostic
codes and other information to service personnel. These codes can be read from the driver’s digital
display or the Proterra service tool. The communication ports are located at the front and rear
interior of the vehicle.
TS 44.2.2 Programmability (Software)
The drivetrain level components are programmable by the Agency with limitations as specified by
the subsystem Supplier. The Proterra powertrain controller is programmable using the Proterra
service tool laptop via the vehicle OBD port located in the rear of the vehicle. Reprogramming these
controllers is access controlled via multiple user levels with different passwords. Revision control
tracking is electronic and communicated on the J1939 PCAN bus.
TS 44.3 Multiplex Level
TS 44.3.1 Data Access
Information is available via a communication port at the front and rear of the vehicle. The location of
the communication ports are easily accessible. The preferred way to review this information is via
the instrument cluster’s digital display. Maintenance screens, available only to technicians, provide
visual feedback of each individual MUX input and output state (i.e. on, off, or faulted). Standard bus
uses J1708 interface with the Asynchronous Transfer Mode Switching (ATMS) wireless
communications system for transmittal of diagnostic fault codes. (Other interfaces such as J1939
are not available on the bus)
TS 44.3.2 Diagnostics and Fault Detection
The multiplex system has a proven method of determining its status (system health and input/output
status) and detecting either active (online) or inactive (offline) faults through the use of on-board
visual/audible indicators.
In addition to the indicators, the system employs an advanced diagnostic and fault detection
system, which is accessible via the Proterra service tool laptop. The service tool has the ability to
check logic function.

OBD port located in the front of the vehicle. Reprogramming these controllers is access controlled
via multiple user levels with different passwords. Revision control tracking is electronic and
communicated on the J1939 PCAN bus as well as displayed on the driver’s display screen.
Programming of the multiplex devices is an automatic process that is completed by the vehicle ZR-
32A master controller upon startup.
TS 44.4 Electronic Noise Control
Third party testing per CISPR 12, 36 and ISO 11451 has been conducted to ensure that electrical
and electronic subsystems and components on all buses do not emit electromagnetic radiation that
will interfere with on-board systems, components or equipment, telephone service, radio or TV
reception, or violate regulations of the Federal Communications Commission.
Electrical and electronic subsystems on the coaches are not affected by external sources of
RFI/EMI. This includes, but is not limited to, radio and TV transmission, portable electronic devices
including computers in the vicinity of or onboard the buses, AC or DC power lines and RFI/EMI
emissions from other vehicles.
DRIVER PROVISIONS, CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTATION
TS 45. Driver’s Area Controls
TS 45.1 General
In general, when designing the driver’s area, SAE J833, “Human Physical Dimensions,” was used.
Switches and controls are divided into basic groups and assigned to specific areas, in conformance
with SAE Recommended Practice J680, Revised 1988, “Location and Operation of Instruments and
Controls in Motor Truck Cabs,” and are essentially within the hand reach envelope described in
SAE Recommended Practice J287, “Driver Hand Control Reach.”
TS 45.2 Glare
The driver’s work area is designed to minimize glare to the greatest extent possible. Objects within
and adjacent to this area are matte black or dark gray in color wherever possible to reduce the
reflection of light onto the windshield. The use of polished metal and light-colored surfaces within
and adjacent to the driver’s area was avoided.
TS 45.3 Visors/Sun Shades
An adjustable roller type sunscreen is provided over the driver’s windshield. The sunscreen is
capable of being lowered to the midpoint of the driver’s window. When deployed, the screen is
secure, stable, and will not rattle, sway or intrude into the driver’s field of view due to the motion of
the coach or as a result of air movement. Once lowered, the screen remains in the lowered position
until returned to the stowed position by the driver. Sunscreen is shaped to minimize light leakage
between the visor and windshield pillars to the extent possible.

Proterra Confidential Information
An option to include an additional driver’s side window sunscreen is also available.
TS 45.4 Driver’s Controls
Frequently used controls are in easily accessible locations. These include the door control, kneel
control, windshield wiper/washer controls, ramp, and lift and run switch. Any switches and controls
necessary for the safe operation of the bus are conveniently located and provide ease of operation.
They are identifiable by shape, touch and permanent markings. Controls also are located so that
passengers may not easily tamper with control settings.
All panel-mounted switches and controls are marked with easily read identifiers. Graphic symbols
conform to SAE Recommended Practice J2402, “Road Vehicles – Symbols For Controls,
Indicators, and Tell Tales,” where available and applicable. Color of switches and controls are dark
with contrasting typography or symbols.
Mechanical switches and controls are replaceable, and the wiring at these controls are serviceable
from a convenient location. Switches, controls and instruments are dust- and water-resistant.
All switches/controls in the driver’s controls area, if required, can be mounted in an angled panel
steep enough to discourage drivers from using it as a personal storage area for items like food,
drinks, cell phones, etc.
TS 45.5 Normal Bus Operation Instrumentation and Controls
The following list identifies bus controls used to operate the bus. These controls are either
frequently used or critical to the operation of the bus. They are located within easy reach of the
operator. The operator will not be required to stand or turn to view or actuate these controls unless
specified otherwise.
Systems or components monitored by onboard diagnostics system are displayed in clear view of
the operator and provide visual and/or audible indicators. The intensity of indicators permits easy
determination of on/off status in bright sunlight but not cause a distraction or visibility problem at
night. All indicators are illuminated using backlighting.
The indicator panel is located in the instrument cluster mounted in the center of the driver’s dash,
within easy view of the operator instrument panel. All indicators have a method of momentarily
testing their operation. The audible alarm is tamper-resistant and has an outlet level between 80
and 83 dBA when measured at the location of the operator’s ear.
On-board displays visible to the operator are limited to indicating the status of those functions
described herein that are necessary for the operation of the bus. All other indicators needed for
diagnostics and their related interface hardware is concealed and protected from unauthorized
access. Table 6 represents Proterra’s standard instruments and alarms. Additional options are
available upon request. The intent of the overall physical layout of the indicators is in a logical
grouping of systems and severity nature of the fault.
Consideration was provided for future additions of spare indicators as the capability of onboard
diagnostic systems improves.

Technical Specifications – 40’ Catalyst E2, Rev 2
Proterra Confidential Information
The 40’ Catalyst E2 is equipped with a roof-mounted HVAC. It provides cabin heating and air-
conditioning. It is an all-electric system using both high and low voltage systems.
With the bus running at the design operating profile with corresponding door opening cycle, and
carrying a number of passengers equal to 150 percent of the seated load, the HVAC system will
control the average passenger compartment temperature within a range between 65 and 80 °F, while
maintaining the relative humidity to a value of 50 percent or less. The system will maintain these
conditions while subjected to any outside ambient temperatures within a range of 10 to 95 °F and at
any ambient relative humidity levels between 5 and 50 percent.
When the bus is operated in outside ambient temperatures of 95 to 115 °F, the interior temperature
of the bus is permitted to rise 0.5°F for each degree of exterior temperature in excess of 95 °F.
When the bus is operated in outside ambient temperatures in the range of -10 to 10 °F, the interior
temperature of the bus will not fall below 55 °F while the bus is running on the design operating pro-
file after stabilization with doors closed or a permitted door cycling.
System capacity testing, including pull-down/warm-up, stabilization and profile, shall be conducted in
accordance to APTA’s Recommended Practice “Transit Bus HVAC System Instrumentation and
Performance Testing.”
The air-conditioning portion of the HVAC system will be capable of reducing the passenger
compartment temperature from 115 to 95 °F in less than 30 minutes after vehicle start-up. During the
cool-down period, the refrigerant pressure will not exceed safe high-side pressures, and the
condenser discharge air temperature, measured 6 in. from the surface of the coil, will be within the
manufacturer’s acceptable air temperature rise. There will be no passengers on board, and the doors
and windows will be closed.
The pull-up requirements for the heating system will be in accordance with Section 11.1 of APTA’s
Recommended Practice“ Transit Bus HVAC System Instrumentation and Performance Testing.” With
ambient temperature at -0 °F, and vehicle cold soaked at that temperature, the bus heating system
will warm the interior passenger compartment to an average temperature of 70 °F ±2 °F within 70
minutes.
The air conditioning system meets these performance requirements using R134a.
TS 55. Controls and Temperature Uniformity
Please see below for current system design and planned performance.
The HVAC system, excluding the driver’s heater/defroster, is centrally controlled with an advanced
electronic/diagnostic control system with provisions for extracting/reading data. The system is
compliant with J1939 Communication Protocol for receiving and broadcasting of data.
The 40’ Catalyst E2 is an all-electric vehicle and does not have hot engine coolant. Therefore, hot
engine coolant water cannot be delivered to the HVAC system driver’s defroster/heater. The driver’s
defroster/heater is an all-electric system.

Proterra Confidential Information
The driver has full control over the defroster and driver’s heater. The driver is able to adjust the
temperature in the driver’s area through air distribution and fans. The interior climate control system
switches automatically to the ventilating mode if the refrigerant compressor or condenser fan fails.
Interior temperature distribution is uniform to the extent practicable to prevent hot and/or cold spots.
After stabilization with doors closed, the temperatures between any two points in the passenger
compartment in the same vertical plane, and 6 to 72 in. above the floor, will not vary by more than 15
°F with doors closed while the HVAC is actively providing heat to the cabin. Any measured interior
temperature will not vary more than ±10 °F from the average temperature determined in accordance
with APTA’s “Recommended Instrumentation and Performance Testing for Transit Bus Air
Conditioning System" while the HVAC is actively providing heat to the cabin.
TS 55.1 Auxiliary Heater
The standard configuration is for no auxiliary heater. However, Proterra offers an additional auxiliary
heater for cold-weather environments. Additional information can be provided upon request.
TS 56. Air Flow
TS 56.1 Passenger Area
Please see below for current system design and planned performance.
The cooling mode of the interior climate control system introduces air into the bus at or near the
ceiling height at a minimum rate of 25 cubic ft per minute (cfm) per passenger based on the standard
configuration bus carrying a number of passengers equal to 150 percent of the seated load. Airflow
is evenly distributed throughout the bus, with air velocity not exceeding 100 ft per minute on any
passenger, however some passengers can see more or less depending on where they are seated.
The ventilating mode provides air at a minimum flow rate of 20 cfm per passenger.
Airflow may be reduced to 15 cfm per passenger (150 percent of seated load) when operating in the
heating mode. The fans will not will activate as soon as the HVAC is turn on. The heating air outlet
temperature will not exceed 125 °F under any normal operating conditions.
The climate control blower motors and fan are designed such that their operation complies with the
interior noise level requirements.
The climate control system provides operating modes with and without “fresh air”.
TS 56.2 Driver’s Area
Please see below for current system design and planned performance.
The bus interior climate control system delivers at least 100 cfm of air to the driver’s area when op-
erating in the ventilating and cooling modes. Adjustable nozzles permit variable distribution or shut-
down of the airflow. Airflow in the heating mode is reduced proportionally to the reduction of airflow
into the passenger area. There is no provisions to provide fresh-air (exterior air) to the driver’s area,
except through ventilated air from the HVAC.

TS 56.3 Controls for the Climate Control System (CCS)
The controls for the driver’s compartment for heating, ventilation and cooling systems are integrated
and meet the following requirements:
1) The heat/defrost system fan is controlled by a separate switch that has an “off” position and
at least two positions for speed control. All switches and controls preclude the possibility of
clothing becoming entangled. An “on/off” switch is located near the main defroster switch.
2) The system does not required the use of a manually operated control valve as the heater is
electrical and does not use heated water.
TS 56.4 Driver’s Compartment Requirements
Please see below for current system design and planned performance.
A separate heating, ventilation and defroster system for the driver’s area is provided and is controlled
by the driver. Heating provided by the defroster does not have an option for fresh air. Heating
provided by the HVAC does have the option to pull in fresh air. The system meets the following
requirements:
• The heater and defroster system provides heating for the driver and heated air to completely
defrost and defog the windshield. There are no designed components for the driver’s side
window, and the front door glass. Fan(s) are able to draw air from the bus body interior and
pass it through the defroster system and over the driver’s feet. Pending testing, a minimum
capacity of 100 cfm is provided. The driver has complete control of the heat for the driver’s
area.
• The defroster supply outlets are located at the lower edge of the windshield. These outlets
are durable and are free of sharp edges that can catch clothes during normal daily cleaning.
The system is such that foreign objects such as coins or tickets cannot fall into the defroster
air outlets. There are no adjustable ball vents or louvers provided at the left of the driver’s
position to allow direction of air onto the side windows.
A ventilation system is provided to ensure driver comfort and is capable of providing fresh air in both
the foot and head areas via HVAC ventilation. Vents are controllable by the driver from the normal
driving position. Decals are provided, indicating “operating instructions” and “open” and “closed”
positions. When closed, vents are sealed to prevent the migration of water or air into the bus.

over the front axle and the other approximately over the rear axle. The standard roof ventilators are
opaque although options are available for clear roof ventilators. Each ventilator is easily opened
and closed manually. When open with the bus in motion, this ventilator provides fresh air inside the
bus. Each ventilator covers an opening area of no less than 425 sq. in. and is capable of being
positioned with all four edges raised simultaneously to a height of no less than 3½ in. An escape
hatch is incorporated into the roof ventilator. Roof ventilator(s) are sealed to prevent entry of water
when closed.
TS 59. Maintainability
Manually controlled shut-off valves in the refrigerant lines allow isolation of the compressor and
dehydrator filter for service. To the extent practicable, self-sealing couplings utilizing O-ring seals
are used to break and seal the refrigerant lines during removal of major components, such as the
refrigerant compressor. Shut-off valves are provided in lieu of self-sealing couplings. The
condenser is located to efficiently transfer heat to the atmosphere and will not ingest air warmed
above the ambient temperature by the bus mechanical equipment, or to discharge air into any other
system of the bus. The location of the condenser precludes its obstruction by wheel splash, road
dirt or debris. HVAC components located within 6 in. of floor level are constructed to resist damage
and corrosion.
High and low refrigerant pressure gauges are not available in the return air area.
TS 60. Entrance/Exit Area Heating

EXTERIOR PANELS, FINISHES AND EXTERIOR LIGHTING
TS 62. Design
The bus has a clean, smooth, simple design, primarily derived from bus performance requirements
and passenger service criteria. The exterior and body features, including grilles and louvers, are
shaped to facilitate cleaning by automatic bus washers without snagging washer brushes. Water
and dirt will not be retained in or on anybody feature to freeze or bleed out onto the bus after
leaving the washer. The body and windows are sealed to prevent leaking of air, dust or water under
normal operating conditions and during cleaning in automatic bus washers for the service life of the
bus.
Exterior panels are sufficiently stiff to minimize vibration, drumming or flexing while the bus is in
service. When panels are lapped, the upper and forward panels will act as a watershed. The
windows, hatches and doors are able to be sealed. Accumulation of spray and splash generated by
the bus’s wheels is minimized on windows and mirrors.
TS 62.1 Materials
Body materials were selected and the body fabricated to reduce maintenance, extend durability and
provide consistency of appearance throughout the service life of the bus. Detailing was kept
simple, and add-on devices and trim are minimized and integrated into the basic design.
The use of composite materials provides a much stronger, more durable and longer lasting body
than provided with conventional steel or aluminum “stick built” construction. Finite Element Analysis
indicates the body should easily endure sixteen years of transit service.
TS 62.2 Roof-Mounted Equipment
A non-skid, clearly marked walkway or steps was incorporated on the roof to provide access to
equipment without damaging any system or bus paneling.
TS 63. Pedestrian Safety
Exterior protrusions along the side and front of the bus greater than ½ in. and within 80 in. of the
ground have a radius no less than the amount of the protrusion. The exterior rearview mirrors,
cameras and required lights and reflectors are exempt from the protrusion requirement. Advertising
frames protrude no more than ⅞ in. from the body surface. Grilles, doors, bumpers and other
features on the sides and rear of the bus are designed to minimize toeholds or handholds.
Exterior protrusions do not cause a line-of -sight blockage for the driver.
TS 64. Repair and Replacement
TS 64.1 Side Body Panels
The 40’ Catalyst E2 has an all-composite body. Composite body buses do not have exterior
paneling. The outer skin is integral to the body structure. When damage occurs to the exterior of the
vehicle, the repair is contained to just the damaged area. The side body from floor to window is

repairable with common composite repair techniques. The body is also covered with a gel coat that
resists chips and cracks.
TS 64.2 Composite Body Repair
Composite bus bodies are pretty resistant to impact, however sections of a monocoque composite
body or other equipment that may be damaged in normal service are easily repairable with common
composite repair techniques. If requested by the by the agency Proterra will send our regional ser-
vice representative to review the bus after the accident. The service rep will take pictures of the is-
sue and assess the damage, then will communicate with the customer and Proterra Service.
There are 3 options to perform the repair:
1) For relatively minor issues that have just affected the skin layer of the bus body or an
access door, our field service representatives can handle the repair or can assist the
agency’s maintenance group to complete. Proterra keeps spare parts of access doors
if it is the preference of the agency to have these replaced instead.
2) Proterra offers optional composite repair training to all customers. If the agency has
its own body shop or a body shop of preference, it can opt to complete this training
and then complete any repairs internally. Proterra will provide a recommended mate-
rials list and can support with instructions as needed.
3) Proterra has partnered with a third party composite repair company who can come to
the agency and complete the repair. Proterra has already completed several projects
with them, although none were related to accident repairs.
TS 65. Rain Gutters
Rain gutters are integral to the design of the composite body. Our vehicles employ a uniquely
designed roof profile that channels water away from passenger entrance and exit areas. This
provides similar functionality via the body design and roof profile.
TS 66. License Plate Provisions
Provisions have been made to mount standard-size U.S./Canada license plates per SAE J686 on
the rear of bus. These provisions direct-mount the license plates so that they can be cleaned by
automatic bus-washing equipment without being caught by the brushes. The rear license plate
provision is illuminated per SAE J587. An option for a front license plate is available.
TS 66.1 Rub rails
The standard configuration is for no rub rails installed. Our fender flares act as a rub rail and our
composite body is more robust then the thin aluminum paneling of most buses.
TS 67. Fender Skirts
Fender skirts are installed to minimize water spray from the bus in wet conditions. They do not
extend beyond the body width.

equipment compartments. Access openings are sized for easy performance of tasks within the
compartment, including tool operating space. Access doors are of rugged construction and maintain
mechanical integrity and function under normal operations throughout the service life of the bus.
They close flush with the body surface. All doors are hinged at the top or on the forward edge and
are prevented from coming loose or opening during transit service or in bus washing operations. All
access doors are retained in the open position by gas-filled springs with safety props and are easily
operable by one person. Springs and hinges are corrosion resistant. Latch handles are flush with,
or recessed behind, the body contour and are sized to provide an adequate grip for opening.
The lower side access doors for the motor compartment, when opened, will restrict access to the
upper side access doors. All other access doors, when opened, do not restrict access for servicing
other components or systems.
TS 69.2 Access Door Latch/Locks
Access doors larger than 100 sq in. are equipped with corrosion-resistant flush-mounted latches or
locks. All such access doors that require a tool to open are standardized throughout the vehicle and
will require a nominal 5/16 in. square male tool to open or lock.
TS 70. Bumpers
TS 70.1 Location
Bumpers provide impact protection for the front and rear of the bus with the top of the bumper being
27 in., ±2 in., above the ground. Bumper height is such that when one bus is parked behind
another, a portion of the bumper faces will contact each other.
TS 70.2 Front Bumper
No part of the bus, including the bumper, will be damaged as a result of a 5mph impact of the bus
at curb weight with a fixed, flat barrier perpendicular to the bus’s longitudinal centerline. The

inadvertently leaving the service area lighting switch in the “on” position after repairs are made.
INTERIOR PANELS AND FINISHES
TS 74. General Requirements
Materials were selected on the basis of maintenance, durability, appearance, safety, flammability
and tactile qualities. Materials are strong enough to resist everyday abuse and be vandalism and
corrosion resistant. Trim and attachment details are kept simple and unobtrusive. Interior trim is
secured to avoid resonant vibrations under normal operational conditions.
Interior surfaces more than 10 in. below the lower edge of the side windows or windshield are
shaped so that objects placed on them fall to the floor when the coach is parked on a level surface.
Any components and other electrical components within close proximity to these surfaces are also
resistant to this cleaning method.
The standard configuration does not have any additional anti-graffiti/vandalism surface treatments.
TS 75. Interior Panels
Panels are easily replaceable and tamper resistant. They are reinforced, as necessary, to resist
vandalism and other rigors of transit bus service. Individual trim panels and parts are
interchangeable to the extent practicable.
Interior panels meet FMVSS 302. An option is available to install alternate interior panels that meet
FTA Docket 90-A.
TS 75.1 Driver Area Barrier
A barrier or bulkhead between the driver and the street-side front passenger seat is provided. The
barrier minimizes glare and reflections in the windshield directly in front of the barrier from interior
lighting during night operation. Location and shape permits full seat travel and reclining possibilities
that can accommodate the shoulders of a 95th-percentile male. The partition has a side return and
stanchion to prevent passengers from reaching the driver by standing behind the driver’s seat. The
lower area between the seat and panel is accessible to the driver. The partition is strong enough in
conjunction with the entire partition assembly for mounting of such equipment as flare kits, fire
extinguishers (1.2kg), microcomputer, public address amplifier, etc. The panel is properly attached
to minimize noise and rattles.
The driver’s barrier extends continually from the floor area to the ceiling and from the bus wall to the
first stanchion immediately behind the driver to provide security to the driver and to limit passenger
conversation.

Options for full or partial driver barriers that provide a barrier between entering passengers are
available.
TS 75.2 Modesty Panels
Sturdy divider panels constructed of durable, unpainted, corrosion-resistant material complementing
the interior are provided to act as both a physical and visual barrier for seated passengers.
Design and installation of modesty panels located in front of forward-facing seats include a
handhold or grab handle along its top edge. These dividers are mounted on the sidewall and project
toward the aisle no farther than passenger knee projection in longitudinal seats or the aisle side of
the transverse seats. Modesty panels extend from at least the window opening of the side
windows, and those forward of transverse seats extend downward to 1 and 1½ in. above the floor.
Panels forward of longitudinal seats extend to below the level of the seat cushion. Dividers
positioned at the doorways, where applicable, provide no less than a 2½ in. clearance between the
modesty panel and a fully open, inward opening door, or the path of a deploying flip-out ramp to
protect passengers from being pinched. Modesty panels installed at doorways are equipped with
grab rails if passenger assists are not provided by other means.
The modesty panel and its mounting withstand a static force of 250 lbs applied to a 4 × 4 in. area in
the center of the panel without permanent visible deformation.
TS 75.3 Front End
The entire front end of the bus is sealed to prevent debris accumulation behind the dash and to
prevent the driver’s feet from kicking or fouling wiring and other equipment. The front end is free of
protrusions that are hazardous to passengers standing at the front of the standee line area of the
bus during rapid decelerations. Paneling across the front of the bus and any trim around the
driver’s compartment is formed metal or thermo-formed plastic material. Composite dash panels
are reinforced as necessary, vandal-resistant and replaceable. All colored, painted and plated parts
forward of the driver’s barrier are finished with a surface that reduces glare. Any mounted
equipment has provision to support the weight of equipment.
TS 75.4 Rear Bulkhead
Proterra’s standard seating for the 40’ Catalyst E2 bulkhead does not provide access to the motor
compartment area (ProDrive). Any equipment installed at the rear of the bus can be accessed by
the removal of fastened panels. The rear bulkhead and rear interior surfaces are material suitable
for exterior skin; painted and finished to exterior quality.
The rear bulkhead paneling is contoured to fit the ceiling, side walls and seat backs so that any litter
or trash will tend to fall to the floor or seating surface when the bus is on a level surface. Any air
vents in this area are louvered to reduce airflow noise and to reduce the probability of trash or liter
being thrown or drawn through the grille. Additionally, the rear bulkhead area is predominately
taken up by the rear window.

TS 75.5 Headlining
Ceiling panels are made of durable, corrosion resistant, easily cleanable material. Headlining is
supported to prevent buckling, drumming or flexing and is secured without loose edges. Headlining
materials are treated or insulated to prevent marks due to condensation where panels are in contact
with metal members. Moldings and trim strips, as required to make the edges tamperproof, are
stainless steel, aluminum or plastic, colored to complement the ceiling material. Headlining panels
covering operational equipment that is mounted above the ceiling is on hinges for ease of service
but retained to prevent inadvertent opening.
TS 75.6 Fastening
Interior panels are attached so that there are no exposed unfinished or rough edges or rough
surfaces. Fasteners are corrosion resistant. Panels and fasteners are not easily removable by
passengers. Exposed interior fasteners are minimized, and where required are tamper resistant.
TS 75.7 Insulation
The Proterra Catalyst insulation meets the requirement of FMVSS 302. It has a composite body that
provides even better insulation performance than adding insulation to a metal body bus. Composite
body offers better U-factor / insulating properties. Insulation properties are unimpaired during the
service life of the bus. Any insulation material used inside the motor compartment will not absorb or
retain oils or water and are designed to prevent casual damage that may occur during maintenance
operations.
The bus body is thoroughly sealed so that the driver or passengers cannot feel drafts during normal
operations with the passenger doors closed.
TS 75.8 Floor Covering
The floor covering has a non-skid walking surface that remains effective in all weather conditions.
The floor covering, as well as transitions of flooring material to the main floor and to the entrance
and exit area, is smooth and present no tripping hazards. Seams are sealed/welded per
manufacturer’s specifications. The standee line is approximately 2 in. wide and extends across the
bus aisle. The color and pattern is consistent throughout the floor covering.
Any areas on the floor that are not intended for standees, such as areas “swept” during passenger
door operation, are clearly and permanently marked.
The floor is easily cleaned and arranged to minimize debris accumulation.
A one-piece center strip extends from the vertical wall of the rear settee between the aisle sides of
transverse seats to the standee line. The floor is of a bi-level construction and the center strip is one
piece at each level. The covering between the center strip and the wheel housings may be separate
pieces. At the rear door, a separate strip as wide as the door extends from the center strip to the
outboard edge of the rear/exit area.
The floor under the seats is covered with smooth surface flooring material. The floor covering shall
closely fit the sidewall in a fully sealed butt joint or extend to the top of the cove.

The light source is located to minimize windshield glare, with distribution of the light focused
primarily on the passengers’ reading plane while casting sufficient light onto the advertising display.
The lighting system is designed to form part of or the entire air distribution duct.
The lens material is translucent polycarbonate. Lenses are designed to effectively “mask” the light
source. Lenses are sealed to inhibit incursion of dust and insects yet be easily removable for
service. Access panels are provided to allow servicing of components located behind light panels.
The entire light fixture is hinged.
TS 75.10 Passenger
The driver can select either dim, off or bright for interior lighting. When in “day run” mode, all
interior lights will be as selected by the driver.
In “night run” mode, the front most lights on each side (behind the driver and the front door) are
turned on only when either door is opened. With both doors closed, the front most lights will be off
to minimize light reflection and glare on the windshield. The rear lights will be on in the setting
selected by the driver (off, dim or bright).
Optionally, all of the lights can be configured to turn on to the dim or bright position when either
door is opened.
All interior lighting is turned off whenever the transmission selector is in reverse.
The interior lights are LED.
TS 75.11 Driver’s Area
The driver’s area has a light to provide general illumination, and it illuminates the half of the steering
wheel nearest the driver to a level of 5 to 10 foot-candles.
TS 75.12 Seating Areas
Seating lights were optimized to reduce glare on the driver’s area. With the front door closed and
cabin lighting on (full and half, bright and dim) the light provided on a 1 sq. ft. plane at an angle of
45 degrees from horizontal, centered 33 in. above the floor and 24 in. in front of the seat back at
each seat position. Average light level for the rear bench seats is above 7 foot-candles.
TS 75.13 Vestibules/Doors
Floor surface in the aisles is a minimum of 10 foot-candles, and the vestibule area a minimum of 4
foot-candles with the front doors open and a minimum of 2 foot-candles with the front doors closed.
The front entrance area and curb lights illuminate when the front door is open. Rear exit area and
curb lights illuminate when the rear door is opened.
Proterra and our customers have evaluated the light levels and found this to be the optimum design
for passenger safety and reduced glare.

TS 75.14 Step Lighting
Step lighting for the intermediate steps between lower and upper floor levels is a minimum of 4 foot-
candles and illuminates at all times in “night run” position and when doors are open in “day run”
position. The step lighting is low profile to minimize tripping and snagging hazards for passengers
and is shielded as necessary to protect passengers’ eyes from glare.
TS 75.15 Ramp Lighting
Exterior and interior ramp lighting comply with federal regulations.
TS 75.16 Farebox Lighting
A light fixture is mounted in the ceiling above the farebox location. The fixture is capable of
projecting a concentrated beam of light on the farebox. This light will automatically come on
whenever the front doors are opened and the run switch is in the “night run” position. Additionally
the driver can command the fare box lighting on when the front door is open with a switch in the
driver’s workplace.
TS 76. Fare Collection
Space and structural provisions are made for installation of currently available fare collection
devices, which is as far forward as practicable. Location of the fare collection device does not
restrict traffic in the vestibule, including wheelchairs if a front door loading device is used, and
allows the driver to easily reach the farebox controls and to view the fare register. The farebox does
not restrict access to the driver’s area, does not restrict operation of driver’s controls and does
not—either by itself or in combination with stanchions, transfer mounting, cutting and punching
equipment, or route destination signs—restrict the driver’s field of view per SAE Recommended
Practice J1050. The location and mounting of the fare collection device allows use, without
restriction, by passengers. The farebox location permits accessibility to the vault for easy manual
removal or attachment of suction devices. Meters and counters on the farebox are readable on a
daily basis. The floor under the farebox is reinforced as necessary to provide a sturdy mounting
platform and to prevent shaking of the farebox.
Transfer mounting, cutting and punching equipment will be located in a position convenient to the
driver.
TS 77. Interior Access Panels and Doors
Access for maintenance and replacement of equipment is provided by panels and doors that
appear to be an integral part of the interior. Access doors are hinged with gas props or over-center
springs, where practical, to hold the doors out of the mechanic’s way. Panels prevent entry of
mechanism lubricant into the bus interior.
Some access doors are secured with hand screws or latches. All fasteners that retain access
panels are, whenever practical, captive in the cover. Other access doors are secured with locks.
The locks are standardized so that only one tool is required to open access doors on the bus.

The transverse seat structure is fully cantilevered from the sidewall with sufficient strength for the
intended service. The lowest part of the seat assembly that is within 12 in. of the aisle is at least 10
in. above the floor.
In locations at which cantilevered installation is precluded by design and/or structure, other seat
mounting may be used.
All transverse objects—including seat backs, modesty panels, and longitudinal seats—in front of
forward-facing seats do not impart a compressive load in excess of 1000lbs onto the femur of
passengers ranging in size from a 5th-percentile female to a 95th-percentile male during a 10g
deceleration of the bus. This deceleration peaks at 0.05 to 0.015 seconds from initiation.
Permanent deformation of the seat resulting from two 95th-percentile males striking the seat back
during this 10g deceleration does not exceed 2 in., measured at the aisle side of the seat frame at
height H. The seat back does not deflect more than 14 in., measured at the top of the seat back, in
a controlled manner to minimize passenger injury. Structural failure of any part of the seat or
sidewall does not introduce a laceration hazard.
The seat assembly withstands static vertical forces of 500 lbs applied to the top of the seat cushion
in each seating position with less than ¼ in. permanent deformation in the seat or its mountings.
The seat assembly withstands static horizontal forces of 500 lbs evenly distributed along the top of
the seat back with less than ¼in. permanent deformation in the seat or its mountings. The seat
backs at the aisle position and at the window position withstands repeated impacts of two 40-lb
sandbags without visible deterioration.
The back of each transverse seat incorporates a handhold no less than ⅞ in. in diameter for
standees and seat access/egress. The handhold will not be a safety hazard during severe
decelerations. The handhold extends above the seat back near the aisle so that standees shall
have a convenient vertical assist, no less than 4 in. long that may be grasped with the full hand.
This handhold does not cause a standee using this assist to interfere with a seated 50th-percentile
male passenger. The handhold is also usable by a 5th-percentile female, as well as by larger
passengers, to assist with seat access/egress for either transverse seating position. The upper rear
portion of the seat back and the seat back handhold immediately forward of transverse seats are
padded and/or constructed of energy-absorbing materials. During a 10g deceleration of the bus, the
HIC number (as defined by SAE Standard J211a) does not exceed 400 for passengers ranging in
size from a 5th percentile female through a 95th percentile male.
The seat back handhold may be deleted from seats that do not have another transverse seat
directly behind and where a vertical assist is provided.
Longitudinal seats are the same general design as transverse seats but without seat back
handholds. Longitudinal seats may be mounted on the wheelhouses. Armrests are included on the
ends of each set of longitudinal seats except on the forward end of a seat set that is immediately to
the rear of a transverse seat, the driver’s barrier, or a modesty panel, when these fixtures perform
the function of restraining passengers from sliding forward off the seat. Armrests are not required
on longitudinal seats located in the wheelchair parking area that fold up when the armrest on the
adjacent fixed longitudinal seat is within 3½ in. of the end of the seat cushion. Armrests are located
from 7 to 9 in. above the seat cushion surface. The area between the armrest and the seat cushion

is closed by a barrier or panel. The top and sides of the armrests has a minimum width of 1 in. and
is free from sharp protrusions that form a safety hazard.
Seat back handhold and armrests withstand static horizontal and vertical forces of 250 lbs. applied
anywhere along their length with less than ¼ in. permanent deformation. Seat back handhold and
armrests withstands 25,000 impacts in each direction of a horizontal force of 125 lbs. with less than
¼in. permanent deformation and without visible deterioration.
TS 78.11 Construction and Materials
Selected materials minimize damage from vandalism and reduce cleaning time. The seats are
attached to the frame with hex bolts rather than tamper-resistant fasteners. Coloring is consistent
throughout the seat material, with no visually exposed portion painted. Any exposed metal touching
the sides or the floor of the bus is stainless steel. The seat, pads and cushions are contoured for
individuality, lateral support and maximum comfort and fit the framework to reduce exposed edges.
The minimum radius of any part of the seat back, handhold or modesty panel in the head or chest
impact zone is a nominal ¼in. The seat back and seat back handhold immediately forward of
transverse seats are constructed of energy-absorbing materials to provide passenger protection
and, in a severe crash, to allow the passenger to deform the seating materials in the impact areas.
Complete seat assemblies are interchangeable to the extent practicable.
TS 79. Passenger Assists
Passenger assists in the form of full grip, vertical stanchions or handholds are provided for the
safety of standees and for ingress/egress. Passenger assists are convenient in location, shape and
size for both the 95th-percentile male and the 5th-percentile female standee. Starting from the
entrance door and moving anywhere in the bus and out the exit door, a vertical assist is provided
either as the vertical portion of the seat back assist or as a separate item so that a 5th-percentile
female passenger may easily move from one assist to another using one hand and the other
without losing support. All handholds and stanchions at the front doorway, around the farebox, and
at interior steps for bi-level designs are powder-coated in a high-contrast yellow color. The forward-
most vertical stanchions on either side of the aisle immediately behind the driver’s area are a
stainless steel finish.
TS 79.1 Assists
Excluding those mounted on the seats and doors, the assists have a cross-sectional diameter
between 1¼ and 1½ in. or provide an equivalent gripping surface with no corner radii less than ¼
in. All passenger assists permit a full hand grip with no less than 1½ in. of knuckle clearance around
the assist. Passenger assists are designed to minimize catching or snagging of clothes or personal
items and are capable of passing the NHTSA Drawstring Test.
Any joints in the assist structure is underneath supporting brackets and securely clamped to prevent
passengers from moving or twisting the assists. Seat handholds may be of the same construction
and finish as the seat frame. Door-mounted passenger assists are powder-coated metal.
Connecting tees and angles are powder-coated metal castings. Assists will withstand a force of 300
lbs. applied over a 12in. lineal dimension in any direction normal to the assist without permanent

When open, the front door leave an opening no less than 74.9 in. in height. The front door clear
width is 33.2” with the doors fully open. The rear door leaves an opening height of 75.75” and the
clear width is 38.6” with the door fully open.
TS 80.5 Door Glazing
The doors on the 40’ Catalyst E2 are both fitted with full length glazing. Because the glazing is full
length, it is bonded to the frame to maximize vision area and for aesthetic reasons. There is really
no way due to current door construction to fit the glazing into a rubber frame. The manufacturer’s
recommended repair procedure for replacing damaged glazing can be provided upon request.
TS 80.6 Door Projection
TS 80.6.1 Exterior
The exterior projection of the front doors beyond the side of the bus is minimized and does not
block the line of sight of the rear exit door via the curb side mirror when the doors are fully open.
The exterior projection of both doors is minimized and does not exceed 14 in. during the opening or
closing cycles or when doors are fully opened
TS 80.6.2 Interior
Projection inside the bus does not cause an obstruction of the rear door mirror or cause a hazard
for standees.

TS 80.7 Door Height Above Pavement
It is possible to open and close either passenger door when the bus loaded to gross vehicle weight
rating is not knelt and parked with the tires touching an 8in. high curb on a street sloping toward the
curb so that the street-side wheels are 5 in. higher than the right-side wheels.
TS 80.8 Closing Force
Closing door edge speed does not exceed 12 in. per second, and opening door speed does not
exceed 19 in. per second. Power doors does not slam closed under any circumstance, even if the
door is obstructed during the closing cycle. If a door is obstructed during the closing cycle, the
pressure exerted on the obstruction does not increase once initial contact has been made.
Doors closed by a return spring or counterweight-type device are equipped with an obstruction-
sensing device that, at a minimum, alerts the driver if an obstruction is detected between the closing
doors. Doors closed by a return spring or counterweight type device, when unlocked, are capable of
being pushed to the point where the door starts to open with a force not to exceed 25 lbs applied to
the center edge of the forward door panel.
Whether or not the obstruction-sensing system is present or functional, it is possible to withdraw a
1½ in. diameter cylinder from between the center edges of a closed and locked door with an
outward force not greater than 35 lbs.
TS 80.8.1 Rear Door Closing Force
Power-close rear doors are equipped with an obstruction-sensing system such that if an obstruction
is within the path of the closing doors, the doors will stop and/or reverse direction. Our standard
system will impart a force less than 10-lbs on a 1 sq. in. obstruction.
TS 80.9 Actuators
Doors open or close completely in not more than 3.5 seconds from the time of control actuation and
are subject to the closing force requirements.
Door actuators are adjustable so that the door opening and closing speeds can be independently
adjustable to satisfy the above requirements. Actuators and the complex door mechanism are
concealed from passengers but are easily accessible for servicing. The door actuators are
rebuildable. The standard doors are powered by compressed air. The exhaust from the door system
is not routed below the floor of the bus. It exits through a muffler on the valve block of the actuator
mechanism. The majority of oil in the air lines is separated out by an individual air filter for each
door.
Door actuators and associated linkages will maximize door holding forces in the fully open and fully
closed positions to provide firm, non-rattling, non-fluttering door panels while minimizing the force
exerted by the doors on an obstruction midway between the fully open and closed positions.
The rear door actuator is under the complete control of the vehicle operator and will open and close
in response to the driver’s control.

Proterra Confidential Information
Doors that employ a “swing” or pantograph geometry and/or are closed by a return spring or
counterweight-type device will be equipped with a positive mechanical holding device that
automatically engages and prevents the actuation mechanism from being back-driven from the fully
closed position. The holding device is overcome only when the driver’s door control is moved to an
“Exit Door Enable” position and the vehicle is moving at a speed of less than 2 mph, or in the event
of actuation of the emergency door release.
Locked doors require a force of more than 300 lbs to open manually. When the locked doors are
manually forced to open, damage is limited to the bending of minor door linkage with no resulting
damage to the doors, actuators or complex mechanism.
TS 80.10 Emergency Operation
In the event of an emergency, it is possible to manually open doors designated as emergency exits
from inside the bus using a force of no more than 25 lbs after actuating an unlocking device. The
unlocking device is clearly marked as an emergency-only device and requires two distinct actions to
actuate. The respective door emergency unlocking device is accessible from the doorway area.
The unlocking device is easily reset by the operator without special tools or opening the door
mechanism enclosure. Doors that are required to be classified as “emergency exits” meet the
requirements of FMVSS 217.
TS 80.11 Door Control
The door control is located in the operator’s area within the hand reach envelope described in SAE
Recommended Practice J287, “Driver Hand Control Reach”. The 40’ Catalyst E2 standard
configuration is for two push button doors controls switches (front door and back door). The controls
do not provide tactile feedback to indicate commanded door position, but resist inadvertent door
actuation by providing visual feedback.
An additional exterior front door switch is located on the curbside headlight bezel. This exterior door
switch opens the front door and illuminates the interior of the vehicle for 1 minute. The front door
remains in the commanded position even if power is removed or lost.
TS 80.12 Door Controller
The doors are operated by push-button controls, conveniently located and operable within the
driver’s reach. The push buttons are labeled. There is a separate set of push button controls for
the front and rear door. These buttons operate as follows:
Push either the “front or rear door” button to open that door. While the door is opening or
closing, a lamp in the button will flash on and off. When the door is fully opened, the button
lamp illuminates steadily (does not flash). Push the button again to close the door.
Options for a five-position door controller are also available.
TS 80.13 Door Open/Close
Operation of, and power to, the passenger doors is completely controlled by the operator.

Chapter 1: Introduction
The Proterra Power Control System (PCS) and Charging Dispenser is the core of the
depot charge station concept for CCS-compliant battery electric vehicles. The PCS-
based charge system can be located at any site, specified by the transit operator, which
allows for a suitable approach and departure area to properly position the bus for
charging. Charging stations are typically located at a transit depot or other stop-over
location and can have one or more charging positions available for the buses depending
on customer requirements.

Chapter 3: Wiring Installation
This following section outlines the process for wiring the Proterra Power Control System
(PCS) equipment. The intent of providing this information is to assist a qualified contractor
to wire the new Power Control System equipment in accordance with National Electric
Code (NEC) requirements. In all cases the qualified contractor is responsible for adhering
to NEC requirements when wiring electrical equipment, whether or not these
requirements are explicitly stated in this document.
IMPORTANT! If conflicting requirements exist between this document, NEC
requirements or local electrical codes, the strictest requirement should be followed.
In almost all cases the qualified contractor will need to obtain a local (state and/or county)
inspection of work done. The local inspectors should be considered an "authority having
jurisdiction”. As an authority having jurisdiction, local inspectors can refuse to pass
inspection based on their understanding of the NEC. If any unusual situations are
encountered, consult with Proterra Engineering and the local inspectors before
proceeding with wiring of electrical equipment.
Before wiring, ensure the following requirements have been met:
• Electrical input must be 480V three phase in a Five Wire Wye configuration.
• Use 90°C copper wire only.
• The circuit breaker at the panel must be OFF.
• The PCS must be grounded to true earth.
• Installer must have an insulated grounding conductor as part of the branch
circuit that supplies the PCS.
• The grounding conductor is to be grounded to earth at the service
equipment or, when supplied by a separately derived system, at the supply
transformer.
• All connections must comply with all local codes and ordinances.
Note: The installer SHOULD NOT add a ground rod to this system.

Terminate High-Voltage 3-Phase AC Cables to PCS
This procedure details how to terminate the incoming high-voltage 3-phase AC cables to
the correct locations in the PCS. The PCS is typically mounted near the supply
transformer with conduit entering the enclosure at the bottom, right side.
IMPORTANT! The Riser Diagram may show more wires than actually need to be
terminated. These additional wires should still be pulled and are used as spares.
1. Referencing the Wiring Schematics, identify the termination point of
each AC High-Voltage wire from the Main Breaker/Disconnect Panel.
2. Strip the insulation back on each wire and insert a section of shrink
tubing over the wire.
3. Insert a compression lug onto each wire end and crimp the lug onto the
wire securely. Perform a “tug test” to ensure a secure connection.
NOTE: The correct die MUST be used for the crimp operation. Only
use lugs adequately sized for the cable. Do not cut strands to fit a
smaller lug.

Charging Stations.
Dear Mr. Barnes:
Proterra Inc. (“Proterra”) is pleased to provide this quote related to the above referenced project. We have provided a
price to provide design and engineering services to develop construction documents as well as the installation of three (3)
Proterra 125kW PCS DC charging systems at the Eagle County Transit (“ECO”) bus yard located at 500 Swift Gulch Rd, in
Avon, Colorado.
Project Scope Overview:
ECO is procuring electric buses for use in the Avon Colorado area. In support of this deployment Proterra shall submit this
proposal for design, engineering, and installation services to install three (3) 125kW PCS charging systems and the
necessary electrical distribution equipment and connections to existing utility transformer.
The project includes installing a new 1000A 277V/480V switchgear to be mounted outside the bus garage located at 500
