The order brings the city’s electric bus fleet to eight EV350’s.
Initial production will focus on EV Stars and then Synapse Type-D school buses.
The delivery represents the halfway mark for Porterville’s initial order of 10 zero-emissions transit buses.
The buses will replace all of the existing CNG-powered transit buses. The EV350 was designed and built by California-based GreenPower, a leading manufacturer of all-electric buses.
The contract provides the City of Porterville or other customers, an option to purchase an additional 20 buses with the same terms and conditions as the initial purchase.
