Proterra, a Silicon Valley startup that makes a fully electric city bus, is set to announce a new product line that includes a high-end model capable of traveling roughly 350 miles per charge.
The Catalyst E2 series, to be unveiled Monday during the annual meeting of the American Public Transit Association, would give transit agencies a high-performance electric bus that can service long routes. The APTA expects the transit industry will need to buy 50,000 buses over the next six years.
