City Leverages VW Mitigation Funding for Purchase of Zero
Emissions Shuttle
TEMECULA, Calif., Oct. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- GreenPower
Motor Company Inc. (NASDAQ: GP) (TSXV: GPV) ("GreenPower"), a
leading manufacturer and distributor of zero-emission,
electric-powered, medium and heavy-duty vehicles, together with the
City of Temecula, announces the
delivery of an ADA-accessible EV Star for use by the City of Temecula's Mary Phillips Senior
Center.
Michael Perez, Director of
Contracts and Grants at GreenPower, commented, "The City of Temecula has been eying our
purpose-built EV Star for over a year now. We are thrilled to
not only deliver this unit to the City, but also highlight our
ability to continue successfully leveraging available programs like
the VW Mitigation Trust." Perez continued, "Additionally, I would
like to thank the Temecula City Council including Council Member
and TCSD President Zak Schwank,
whose forward-thinking direction led to securing a grant that
replaces the City's older gasoline bus with a zero emissions bus.
We also thank the City Manager's Office including staff member
Stacey Brown whose commitment to
this project in a challenging pandemic environment was critical to
its completion."
Temecula Council Member Zak Schwank stated, "A safe, reliable,
emissions-free ride for our community is what we are after, and the
EV Star provides just that. By leveraging VW mitigation funding in
the amount of $160,000, we'll see an
immediate positive impact on operational costs and emissions
reduction, so it's a win for the entire community. We are
glad to have a GreenPower EV Star join the City's fleet."
GreenPower has leveraged its flagship EV Star Platform with six
distinct models serving the cargo, delivery and micro transit
markets. 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.
