The Canadian commercial vehicle manufacturer Vicinity Motor Electric has ordered battery technology from Proterra for its utility trucks, shuttle buses, and box trucks. The two companies have now signed a multi-year supply agreement.
According to Proterra, the company’s battery systems will power the 28-foot Vicinity Lightning electric transit bus as well as a Vicinity commercial vehicle platform (called: strip chassis platform). Proterra says it has contractually committed to supplying Vicinity with battery systems to power at least 600 of Vicinity’s commercial electric vehicles by 2024.
The agreement between the two companies also provides for the possibility for Proterra’s battery systems to be used in Vicinity’s next-generation electric heavy-duty bus, as well as the VMC 1200 (Class 3)…
