IndyGo received 24 electric hybrid buses thanks to a partnership with Allison Transmission
The test report provides information that transit authorities can utilize to compare a vehicle against a standard of performance when making purchasing decisions.
Alstom and ENC secure technology and vehicle contracts, respectively, while Phoenix Motorcars hits an EV milestone and Smart Eye acquires Affectiva.
The contract has a minimum value of $8 million.
The program will encourage the growth of electric bus fleets by helping operators reduce the upfront cost of installing charging equipment on Oahu, Maui, and Hawaii Island.
SB 551, sponsored by the Transportation Electrification Partnership and Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator, would accelerate equitable adoption of electric vehicles statewide.
Other state cap-and-trade funding would expand the agency’s college pass program and help in testing electric buses.
The agency remains on track to reach several goals set by 2032.
In those five million electric miles, approximately 1.2 million gallons of diesel fuel have been saved, according to AVTA chairman Marvin Crist.
The $44.2 million contract also includes an option of 95 additional buses over five years, 16 plug-in charging systems, and four on-route chargers.
