October 29, 2011
San Jose C.A. | Oct. 29, 2011 – Proterra, maker of the world’s first battery-electric, fast-charge transit bus will take part in the 2011 California Transit Association Annual Fall Conference & Expo. Titled “Exploring Transit’s Future: The Journey Continues,” the expo will focus on today’s most pressing transit issues and happenings including funding, legislation, safety, agency programs, best practices, new products and more. The event takes place November 2, 3 and 4 in San Jose, California.
“With rapidly changing technologies, increasing demands on public transit and changing legislation, it is important to stay connected and in tune with shifts in California’s transit industry” said Joshua Goldman, director of business development. “It is exciting to be a part of an organization that is actively implementing technologies to meet future demands. Not only do our buses significantly reduce carbon emissions, but they also create a more predictable operating environment for public transit authorities.”
Proterra’s EcoRide™ already meets the Federal Transit Administration’s goals set forth for its preferred electric drive vehicle of the year 2030, putting it 20 years ahead of schedule. Foothill Transit in Pomona, C.A. has three EcoRide™ BE35 buses in operation and VIA San Antonio Transit will be deploying Proterra buses later this year.
With manufacturing in Greenville, S.C., Proterra is a leading designer and manufacturer of heavy-duty electric drive systems, energy storage systems, vehicle control systems, transit buses and fast-charging stations.
