has launched a new extended-range product line. With the new TerraVolt XR extended-range battery, Proterra buses can now be configured to travel up to 180 miles (290 km) between charges. Electric transitbus manufacturer Proterra Inc.
A Proterra 40-foot Catalyst XR (extendedrange) electric bus drove 258 miles (415 miles) on a single charge under test conditions at Michelin’s Laurens Proving Grounds (LPG). Proterra offers both extended-range (XR) and fast-charge (FC) versions of its electric bus, using different battery technologies. Earlier post.).
The energy storage system incorporates the latest LithiumTitanate (LTO) technology, which significantly increases energy density, allows for faster charging and enables pure electric (engine off) extendedrange capability. With the launch of eGen Flex Allison will offer two distinct models, eGen Flex and eGen Flex Max.
Proterra offers both extended-range (XR) and fast-charge (FC) versions of its electric bus, using different battery technologies. The TerraVolt FC fast charge battery option (lithiumtitanate, LTO chemistry) allows for maximum run time with minimum dwell time. Earlier post.) Actual mileage will vary with route conditions.
The bus is powered either by an advanced LithiumTitanate fast-charge energy storage pack or an NMC extendedrange energy storage system. To break not one, but four records at Altoona is a major milestone not just for us, but for the industry as a whole and is a testament to how far electric bus technology has come.
Foothill Transit will also become the first customer for Proterra’s new extended-range vehicle, the Proterra Catalyst XR. Proterra’s TerraVolt FC fast charge battery options (lithiumtitanate, LTO chemistry) allows for maximum run time with minimum dwell time. Earlier post.). They are not used to the number of options.
Production of lithium-ion cells and packs for hybrid and electric vehicles. Primary lithium chemistries include: manganese spinel cathode and lithiumtitanate anode for high power applications, as well as manganese spinel cathode and amorphous carbon for high energy applications. Indianapolis, IN. Brownstown, MI.
Although lithium-ion cell and pack costs are expected to fall sharply by 2020, they are unlikely to drop enough to support widespread adoption of fully electric vehicles without a major breakthrough in battery technology, according to a new study by The Boston Consulting Group (BCG). million will be fully electric, 1.5 BCG Report.
