Zero Emissions Shuttles to be used in Micro Transit and
Vanpool Application
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 25, 2020 /CNW/ -- GreenPower Motor
Company Inc. (NASDAQ: GP) (TSXV: GPV) ("GreenPower"), a leading
manufacturer and distributor of zero emissions electric powered
medium and heavy duty vehicles, announced via Green Commuter, that
two EV Stars will be deployed in Los
Angeles County in the Basset and Avocado Heights
neighborhoods under a California Energy Commission Grant.
The Energy Coalition is California-based, non-profit and the primary
grantee on the project which will provide locally produced
renewable electricity to 235 households through a community solar
tariff structure. The project will also provide 50 homes with
no-cost solar and residential battery storage, and develop an
electric vehicle (EV) mobility service, EV charging infrastructure,
and a community carbon management system.
Green Commuter is providing mobility services such as
microtransit and vanpooling along with the charging infrastructure
for the Basset Avocado Advanced Energy Community
(BAAEC) project. Green Commuter is the nation's largest all
electric vanpool company that also provides carsharing and fleet
replacement solutions.
Gustavo Occhiuzzo, Chief
Executive Officer of Green Commuter commented, "The fact that the
EV Star is providing vehicles for two different applications on
this California Energy Commission project really speaks to the
versatility of the vehicle. We look forward to further
opportunities to assist the Coalition with their zero emission
transportation needs."
Brendan Riley, President of
GreenPower Motor Company added, "We are absolutely thrilled to have
Green Commuter as a partner, we can trust that the customers are in
capable hands and the deployment of these vehicles will be a
success." Riley continued, "This reaffirms what we've
conveyed to the market, the EV Star is the best choice for
customers for reliability and durability to satisfy a wide variety
of duty cycles."
The EV Star is the only bus in its class that comes with a
standard J1772 level 2 and CCS DC fast combo charge system,
allowing for optimal flexibility in route planning for any duty
cycle.
