Abstract
Author has developed a prototype large sized “Electric Full Flat Floor Bus” (ELFB). Taking the field test results into consideration as well, it is also revealed that ELFB has the specifications to meet most of the existing bus service requirements. Introducing the concept and technology of the integrated platform that motors, inverters, batteries and controllers are installed under the ELFB’s floor can lower the minimum height from ground to floor, construct a full flat cabin, and improve the universal design performance. So it turned out that trial ride monitor 380 persons show high concern and a willingness to pay for introduction of the service which reduces resistance of a change or movement.
