Proterra all-electric, zero-emission bus to Debut in Los Angeles

ABR Staff Writer Published 31 August 2010

Proterra, a manufacturer of zero-emission commercial transit solutions, has launched the first deployment of its EcoRide BE35 zero-emission, fast-charge battery-electric transit buses by Foothill Transit in Los Angeles .

Foothill Transit will launch the Proterra EcoRide BE35 buses and related fast charging stations into its existing bus fleet and transit routes with the goal of establishing a full fleet of clean-fueled vehicles by 2011.

Proterra president and CEO Jeffery Granato said that the first commercial deployment of Proterra's battery-electric buses by a major transit agency like Foothill Transit is a significant milestone for Proterra and a bold step by the nation in the effort to decrease dependence on fossil fuel.

We look forward to additional communities throughout the US and globally benefitting from the highly efficient, cost effective, clean alternative transit solution now available with the introduction of the EcoRide BE35, Granato said.
