Description / Abstract:
This document will cover the aspects of the design and test of
Class 4 through 8 electric and hybrid-electric trucks and buses for
electrical safety. The document is intended to address the safety
concerns of electrical systems in commercial vehicles that employ
voltages greater than 60 VDC or 30 VAC RMS.
Purpose
The document is intended to provide direction to manufacturers
of hybrid electric trucks and buses and their suppliers on design
requirements and test procedures that are intended to make these
vehicles safer to operate, service, or recover from an
accident.
