Electric vehicle technology firm Proterra’s share price is gaining premarket after it announced a fleet electrification project with the Miami-Dade county.
The county will acquire 42 Proterra ZX5+ electric transit buses, featuring a total of 19 megawatt-hours of battery storage capacity, along with plans to install 75 Proterra chargers across three bus depots. The first electric buses are expected to be delivered in 2022.
The deal means that Miami-Dade will have, in total, 75 electric transit buses from Proterra.
