With BCT’s purchase, Proterra has now sold more than 1,000 battery-electric transit buses in North America.
As president of Proterra Powered and Energy, Gareth Joyce will lead Proterra's growing business as a provider of its electric vehicle technology to commercial manufacturers and charging infrastructure solutions for heavy-duty electric fleets.
The 40-foot Proterra ZX5 MAX provides superior performance designed to tackle START’s routes even during the coldest winters.
Developed in partnership with Power Electronics, the new Proterra charging systems offer transit agencies and fleet operators a customizable vehicle charging solution.
CTA built one of the few terminals in North America that uniquely utilizes SAE J3105 overhead charging systems to maximize in-service time and performance of its Proterra electric bus fleet.
The pilot project was made possible thanks to a public-private partnership with MidAmerican Energy who signed on to provide the local match for DART’s Low or No-Emission grant application with the FTA.
The 40-foot Proterra ZX5 can be equipped with 660 kWh of energy storage to deliver up to 329 miles of drive range, which represents the most energy storage and longest drive range of any 40-foot electric bus available in the market today.
The new, narrower H Series battery packs were designed to package into standard truck frame rails and increase packaging flexibility for Proterra-Powered customers.
Under the partnership, Bustech will incorporate Proterra’s battery technology into the ZDi’s integrated chassis systems.
The all-electric S1LF integrates a Ford E450 chassis platform, which has been fully optimized for the vehicle body.
