After the ZEPS bus was delivered in late September, GTrans received a California Energy Commission grant to upgrade four more of its hybrid buses to electric.
The first electric bus for TransIT Services is expected to be delivered in February with the other four following closely behind in the proceeding months.
The buses are equipped with remanufactured engines and rebuilt transmissions as a cost effective method of quickly acquiring improved buses.
By purchasing remanufactured buses, including a two-door, 60-foot articulated bus and two 40-foot buses, Liberty University will receive fully renovated buses in like-new condition for less than half the cost.
Each 40-foot electric bus carries 36 seated passengers plus standees and is equipped with air operated doors, brakes, suspension, hydraulic power-steering, stainless steel bike racks and LED lighting.
Complete Coach Works (CCW) VP, sales and marketing, Macy Neshati recently appeared on Jay Leno’s Garage to discuss the company’s all-electric, zero-emission city bus conversion process.
The bus is expected to reach a range of between 120 miles to 150 miles and features a highly integrated design with fewer parts for convenient and fast installation.
The ZEPS bus is expected to reach a range of between 120 miles to 150 miles, which will meet the route profile of a vast majority of transit systems around the nation.
