Proterra Inc., the leading provider of zero-emission battery electric transit solutions, recently announced the sales of 10 buses and two charging stations to The Transit Authority of River City (TARC) in Louisville, Ky. Proterra’s Greenville manufacturing facility will produce the buses in early 2014 with the expected delivery later that year.
The Proterra-produced buses will replace the agency’s Toonerville II Trolleys, which operate free in downtown Louisville’s business district. TARC currently serves 15 million customers annually with its current fleet of more than 220 buses and trolleys, which runs 41 routes in five counties in Kentucky and southern Indiana.
In addition, Proterra recently announced several new sales, with the company’s last three orders to transit systems coming from repeat customers.
