Greenville, S.C. | Oct. 18, 2011 – Proterra founder and chief technical officer Dale Hill spoke at the inaugural InnoMobility Conference in Greenville, S.C. describing Proterra as a paradigm shift in the transit industry.
“The public transit industry faces an unpredictable future in regard to operating expenses, wage increases and fuel costs. Proterra’s EcoRide fast-charge, battery-electric bus provides a highly predictable solution trading volatile fossil fuel costs for lower electricity costs” stated Hill. Hill shared with the crowd how this revolutionary public transit vehicle is the result of hard work, teamwork, and strategic partnerships with investors, municipalities, transit authorities and operators as well as the Center for Transportation and the Environment (CTE), the Federal Transportation Association and the Department of Energy among others.
“Our participation in InnoMobility2011 is an opportunity to connect with other Greenville tech companies in support of Greenville’s business community – one that has rallied to support us and made us a proud member.” said Hill.
