Park & Zoom, a parking service company with a 2,000-vehicle capacity structure on the Texas-based Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, acquired another three Phoenix Motorcars all-electric zero-emission shuttle buses making it a total of six Zero Emission Utility Shuttles (ZEUS 400) now servicing the airport.

Park & Zoom received the first three ZEUS 400 shuttles in early 2019. The ZEUS 400 shuttles will be added to their current fleet of ultra-super low emissions diesel and all-electric shuttles. The ZEUS 400 electric shuttles were built on a Starcraft body and delivered in partnership with Creative Bus Sales.

Each ZEUS 400 shuttle has a range of up to 110 miles per charge, reduces ~60 tons of CO2 annually and meets Park & Zoom’s commitment to be an environmentally friendly facility. Park & Zoom partakes in many other green initiatives including an on-site infiltration pond, vehicle charging stations for their passengers and an eco-friendly LED light system in their parking structure.

Adding three more shuttles to their ever-growing fleet will prove helpful as Austin-Bergstrom Airport just set a new annual passenger record, with 17,343,729 passengers traveling through the airport in 2019. Records show that in the last 20 years, traffic has tripled at the airport.
