Proterra Recognized as a Leading Global Technology Pioneer
Proterra Inc., a leading provider of zero-emission, battery-electric transit solutions, has been honored as a 2015 Technology Pioneer by the World Economic Forum (WEF).
One of only 24 companies selected worldwide, Proterra is the only company serving the mass transit sector. The WEF’s Technology Pioneers program recognizes companies from around the world involved in the design, development and deployment of new technologies poised to have a significant impact on business and society.
Noted Ryan Popple, president and chief executive officer, Proterra, “Thanks in large part to Proterra’s efforts, the transit industry is able to offer riders a viable, sustainable and cost-effective urban transit solution. We recognize the long-term importance of these efforts in achieving energy independence and protecting the environment for future generations, and we are committed to continuing to lead the way.”
Proterra has recorded that its buses have a fuel economy per kilometer/mile (when translated into conventional fuels) that is nearly six times that of a diesel bus.
