the United States -based designer and manufacturer of zero -emission, battery-electric buses, CNG , has announced a new battery design for the Proterra Catalyst XR transit vehicle (bus) and added a Proterra Catalyst XR to its suite of products. Within the same energy storage footprint as the original Catalyst XR, the battery-enhanced vehicle now holds 28 percent more energy at 330 kWh and a best-in-market lightweight vehicle body. As a result of the upgraded battery, the company says that the vehicle now holds 28 percent more energy, at zero kWh, and features a best-in-market lightweight vehicle body. Furthermore, the new EV Simulator provides fleet managers with customised information on electric bus deployment, generating a side-by-side comparison of Proterra ’s transit solutions with diesel, CNG , and hybrid technologies, and highlights the cost savings, performance improvements and environmental benefits of battery-electric transport.
