AVTA received its 20th electric MCI coach for their commuter routes. The addition of these buses to AVTA’s fleet of BYD zero-emission buses, enables the agency to place into service a 100% zero-emission transit fleet.
This milestone is part of the agency’s goal of an all-electric fleet and a carbon-neutral San Francisco by 2040.
Since August, AVTA has been receiving and placing into service their zero-emissions, high-capacity commuter coaches from MCI. Over the next few weeks, AVTA will receive the 20 electric commuter coaches necessary to retire the remaining diesel commuter fleet.

CATS provides bus service to residents of and visitors to Baton Rouge. The system operates 29 bus lines and provides more than two million rides each year.

The companies’ electric vehicle partnership tops 500 all-electric double decker bus sales with a delivery to Go-Ahead London.
Vehicles in the voucher program include BYD’s entire battery-electric transit bus line and most coaches, as well as Class 8 and Class 6 electric trucks.
In those five million electric miles, approximately 1.2 million gallons of diesel fuel have been saved, according to AVTA chairman Marvin Crist.
