The Type A school bus manufacturer has acquired a controlling interest in the electric vehicle drivetrain integrator and supplier Ecotuned.
Lightning eMotors will deliver up to 7,500 zero-emission Class 4 and Class 5 buses across the U.S. and Canada from 2021-2025 while providing full electric power trains, charging products and services.
The Center for Transportation and the Environment’s 2021 International Zero Emission Bus Conference will take place in Denver, Colorado, from Sept. 15 to 17.
The test report provides information that transit authorities can utilize to compare a vehicle against a standard of performance when making purchasing decisions.
The company customized the shuttles to ensure a perfect fit into the Aladdin parking facility, which has stringent height restrictions for its access gates.
The announcement builds on Miami’s commitment to transportation electrification by expanding its fleet to include an additional 42 buses — bringing the total to 75 electric transit buses from Proterra.
This follows the completion of the company’s previously announced business combination with ArcLight Clean Transition Corp., a special purpose acquisition company, that resulted in Proterra becoming a publicly-listed company.
The order of 14 new Vicinity Lightning™ EV buses are for delivery in 2022 to Calgary Transit, with the option to purchase supplemental vehicles at a set price over a five-year period.
Overall deliveries of transit buses in the U.S. and Canada declined in 2020, shrinking from 6,320 units in 2019 to 4,833 units in 2020, according to numbers provided to METRO Magazine from participating suppliers.
