President Joe Biden joined Proterra CEO Jack Allen, Greenville Mayor Knox White, and the Proterra team last week for a virtual tour of Proterra’s EV manufacturing facility in Greenville, S.C.

The President affirmed his continued support for electrified transportation on the heels of announcing the American Jobs Plan, including historic investment in public transit and the goal for all U.S.-made buses to be zero-emissions by 2030.
