The Durham Region Transit Thornton Facility in Oshawa, Ontario will support a fleet of 215 zero-emission buses to be stored, operated, maintained, and serviced on location.
TARC received a new grant that will allow TARC to replace two high-emission diesel buses with two battery-electric extended-range buses.
The report takes into consideration existing market conditions, barriers, opportunities, and sales data for the Mexican MHDV market.
The order is for 14 zero-emission, battery-electric Xcelsior CHARGE NG forty-foot heavy-duty transit buses.
The high-capacity, zero-emission articulated buses will be configured with five doors to operate on Metro Transit’s new East-West Bus Rapid Transit system.
Inductive charging can keep buses in service longer, save money, and reduce disruption to routes.
While it is certain that to get ahead of the carbon-neutral curve, the transportation sector needs to focus on electrification, the industry must also figure out how to optimize the current technology it is using.
With city and state budgets radically reduced and questionable hope for federal or state stimulus funding, some are forecasting the end of the transit era.
As the industry landscape changes with new technology innovations in propulsion systems, software developments, and what “transit service” means, another aspect of the overall ecosystem has evolved: contract purchasing of zero-emission buses.
It’s easy to be sold on the idea of going electric but success requires careful planning, and that becomes even more true when more vehicles are involved in the project.
