The 60-foot heavy duty buses are manufactured by New Flyer of America Inc. Four 40-foot battery electric buses made by GILLIG are scheduled to be delivered early next year.
The agency selected the company’s H 40 EP electric hybrid propulsion solution to power 27 new GILLIG buses and will be a lead fleet partner for Allison’s revolutionary new electric hybrid product, eGen Flex.
Using wireless, inductive power transfer pads embedded in the roadway, AVTA’s electric vehicles can seamlessly charge while on route, drastically reducing the need for large battery packs and cumbersome charging stations.
Eight of these grants will be utilized to purchase GILLIG zero-emission battery electric buses and associated charging infrastructure, while the ninth will be utilized to deploy advanced low-emission diesel-electric hybrid buses.
This is the first electric bus to be deployed in Sun Tran’s fleet, and will be leased for the next year.
Like the rest of the industry, the agency is dealing with the difficult day-to-day operation of services during the pandemic but is still looking forward to continue building a world-class transportation network.
Toronto Transit Commission and Rockford Mass Transit District take delivery of battery-electric and hybrid-electric buses, respectively.
Two of the longest-running brands collaborate to bring to market a new 40-foot bus with a 444 kWh battery capacity and an estimated 150-mile range.
The Transit Bus Repower is a full-featured powertrain conversion of an existing diesel transit bus to a battery-electric bus.
The delivery is the first step toward the agency’s goal to have a completely zero-emission fleet by 2030.
