Where special requirements exist for trolleybuses, tips are given for mechanical and functional safety and fire protection. This European standard covers vehicles designed for public transport of persons.

This standard applies to:

  • Trolleybuses;
  • Current rail buses for road surface guidance;
  • Guided buses with bipolar roof current collector.

This European standard does not apply to:

a) Only electrically powered vehicles with internal power supply:

  • hybrid vehicles;
  • Diesel - Electric vehicles;
  • fuel cell vehicles;
  • Battery powered vehicles.

b) Vehicles with secure protective coupling:

  • rubber-tyred commuter trains;
  • Guided buses powered by a separate current rail;
  • Rail-guided single-pole roof current collector buses;

c) Vehicles used outside of public areas:

  • Electric trucks on highways.

Guide and current rails are special solutions and are not currently under standardization, as are trolleybus current collectors and overhead contact lines (OCL). It mainly refers to grounded networks, but also to galvanically isolated networks.
