Proterra and El Dorado National (ENC) are collaborating to power ENC’s second-generation electric transit buses with Proterra’s battery technology.
Under the multi-year supply agreement, Proterra will provide its S-Series battery system to power ENC’s Axess Battery Electric Bus (EVO-BE).
This model will be available to transit agencies in 32-foot, 35-foot, and 40-foot lengths.
Chris Bailey, President of Proterra Powered & Energy said:Public transit is at the forefront of electrification. Along with our partners at ENC, we’re delighted to help power this critical transformation with our battery technology and help bring cleaner air to cities and towns across the United States through zero-emission transportation.
The Proterra Powered battery systems and the ENC vehicles will be designed and manufactured in the United States.
Deliveries of the ENC Axess EVO-BEs are expected to begin in 2023.
Jason Moore, Vice President and General Manager, ENC said:ENC is excited to work with Proterra to provide the next-generation Axess EVO-BE with best-in-class battery technology as part of our ongoing focus on delivering zero-emission transportation solutions.
