Alstom has also commissioned its SRS ground-based static charging technology coupled with the Citadis Ecopack energy storage system.
Projects include carsharing services, ZEV bus and shuttle routes, and electric vehicle charging systems throughout the region.
The total cost is estimated to be $6 million and the buses are expected to arrive in mid-summer 2019.
The buses will be deployed in 2018 on Columbia University's Intercampus Shuttle network, operating between locations in Manhattan, New Jersey, and Rockland County.
The Orange Line will be the highest ridership transit service ever tested for all-electric operation. The project is expected to demonstrate the durability and reliability of lithium-ion battery technology for high ridership transit lines.
