- Date: 10/10/2024
Difficult terrain. Harsh winters. Pervasive wildfires. Limited vehicles and funds. These are just some of the challenges rural transit agencies…
A new Proterra-powered electric transit bus is set to hit the roads in 2023. Proterra announced a new partnership with Eldorado National California (ENC) for the next generation of electric transit buses.
California-based Proterra plans to play a critical role in transitioning the transportation industry to electric. The EV tech manufacturer supplies battery tech, electric powertrain solutions, and other supporting components for an effortless fleet transition.
Proterra primarily focuses on the commercial EV industry with its proprietary platform. Vehicle manufacturers can partner with Proterra to introduce 100% battery electric vehicles to their fleet.
On top of this, Proterra revealed its fifth generation EV bus, the ZX5 electric bus, featuring the ProDrive 2.0 drivetrain. The drivetrain includes a four-speed EV transmission to make climbing hills a breeze, an upgrade from the two-speed gearbox in the first generation.
