Prevost XL II
Testing of the H2Go unit was conducted on the Prevost XL II and was
done in a four part series. The configuration used during the pilot testing
was an A, B, A, B or an A, B, B, A configuration to minimize the effects of
weather and terrain. Each test was done in a continuous loop mode with
fuel top-offs after each phase. Individual test assumptions will be listed
with the associated test results.
For the purposes of this pilot an experienced coach driver was retained to
ensure consistency in managing the daily bus operations under normal
driving conditions.

Note: The first test was conducted for purposes of tuning the moving
configuration.
Test Two:
After seeing the results of the first test, it was decided to attempt a
different more aggressive tuning in an effort to improve the benefit of
the installation even further. As evidenced below the different tuning
style did not positively impact the results of the test.
Due to the lack of improved results from this alternative tuning &
configuration over the stock bus configuration Test Two was disregarded.
This test was specifically designed to use alternative device settings on the
H2GO unit in order to determine if a more optimum configuration could
be found. As evidenced in the matrix above, this test clearly determined
this alternative configuration did not achieve the desired results.
