GreenPower Motor Company Inc., The Routing Company, and Preteckt recently announced news from their respective companies.
GreenPower Announces Record Deliveries, Revenue
GreenPower Motor Company Inc. announced record revenues and deliveries for its first quarter of fiscal 2024.
GreenPower reported record revenues of $17.6 million for the first quarter, more than four times the revenue of $3.9 million from the previous year’s first quarter.
The company delivered a record of 131 vehicles with a majority of the deliveries being EV Star Cab and Chassis, as well as EV Star Cargoes, EV Stars, BEAST Type D school buses, and Nano BEAST Type A school buses.
“GreenPower continued with record-setting revenues and deliveries in the first quarter,” said Fraser Atkinson, GreenPower CEO. “We continue to achieve significant operational improvements, which are critical in attaining profitable operations.”
TRC Signs Contract with Maruti Transportation Group
The Routing Company (TRC) announced it has received a two-year contract from Maruti Transportation Group (Maruti) to provide private non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) under the name “MT Connect” and public on-demand transit (ODT) services in Texas and Florida.
The estimated initial volume is 3,000 to 4,500 trips per month.
The contract marks TRC’s first-ever NEMT deployment, its expansion in Texas (building from an early on-demand pilot in Houston), and its first entry into the state of Florida.
MT Connect NEMT deployments are anticipated to commence this fall in San Antonio and Corpus Christi, Texas, expanding with ODT to the metro Austin area in late 2023 and also to Orlando, Florida, in early 2024.
DCPT Using Preteckt's AI Across Bus Fleet
Preteckt announced it has secured a commercial agreement with Dutchess County Public Transit (DCPT).
Preteckt’s AI-powered predictive maintenance can detect issues in buses before they become progressively worse and empowers bus maintenance teams with repair plans to ensure safer and more reliable vehicles.
The agreement will see Preteckt’s technology used across DCPT’s fleet of buses.
DCPT carried out a procurement process to find a technology that would improve fleet maintenance and selected Preteckt’s technology, as its solution was the only one that met the requirements.
This AI solution for maintenance has the support from the agency’s technology and maintenance teams.
