US-based designer and manufacturer of zero-emission, battery-electric buses, Proterra, has announced a new battery design for the Proterra Catalyst XR transit vehicle (bus) and added a Proterra EV Simulator to its suite of products. By increasing the battery's energy density, the team was able to utilize the Catalyst vehicle's purpose-built design and maintain its light weight," said Gary Horvat, chief technology officer at Proterra. The Catalyst is an all-electric bus that can travel up to 100 miles on one charge with zero emissions or fossil fuel emissions. 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.
