In partnership with Trans Tech, Motiv Power Systems is planning to introduce the electric school buses in Sacramento, California. A grant from the California Air Resource Board (CARB) amounting to $7.5 million will support in this project as part of the Sacramento Regional Zero-Emission School Bus Deployment Project. Powered by Motiv’s all-electric powertrains and these 13 buses will be divided between Elk Grove Unified School District and Twin Rivers Unified School Disctrict. This powertrain replaces the diesel engine on a standard chassis and supports a battery capacity of 85 or 106kWh, with a range of 68 to 85 miles. Top speed for the bus is 60 mph.
