Electric bus breaks records

    




Electric buses are a perfect alternative to diesel for public transport. But they are not intended for long-haul routes. This record changes the perception of the limited use of buses.

Bus when tested in a simulated constant speed movement in the city and 47 km per hour, with the work of all systems of heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. Periodically he would stop for fast-charging ProTerra, requiring less time than charging a conventional cell phone. With all the stops for 24 hours in the path of the bus in such conditions overcame route more than 1,100 km On economy, he was six times more profitable diesel and seven times more profitable buses on natural gas.

This record is proof that all-electric ProTerra buses combine all the durability and functionality of conventional buses. As well as significantly reduce the overall maintenance cost, fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, said Garrett Mikita, CEO, ProTerra. The buses of the company will appear on the bus lines of the South-Eastern United States.
