Designed to house the breaker, contactor, and interlock control logic that supply power to the ZEPS-remanufactured electric bus.
The project includes either a rebuilt Cummins ISC 8.3 engine or a Detroit Series 50 EGR engine.
The New Flyer bus will receive everything from a new engine to a fresh paint job under the new contract.
The solution will benefit Montebello and its passengers by contributing to a comfortable experience.
Program will enhance the skills of its workforce by expanding its knowledge of complex electrical systems.
Will also provide maintenance and diagnostic training, operator training, and emergency response personnel training to agency staff.
The upgrade will be available to all types of buses.
The bus will be equipped with a Cummins ISL Recon engine and rebuilt Allison B400R transmission.
To enable this grand transition to “new energy” infrastructure, many agencies are already implementing wireless charging for their electric fleets.
Will allow drivers to feel confident in driving their route while still being able to connect and interact with their passengers.
