The DuoPower drivetrain delivers nearly twice the horsepower and five times better fuel efficiency than a standard diesel engine. The DuoPower drivetrain features two electric motors that deliver an impressive 550 horsepower, <strong>accelerating a ZX5 bus from 0 to 20 mph in under six seconds<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Manufactured in the United States, Proterra battery-electric buses feature zero tailpipe emissions, saving approximately 230,000 pounds of greenhouse gases annually when replacing a diesel bus according to the company&#8217;s calculations. The purpose-built electric buses offer a quieter ride for reduced noise pollution, greater efficiency, and lower operating costs with fewer parts compared to combustion engine vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>The Proterra ZX5 features Proterra battery systems, which have been proven on the road through more than 15 million miles in service for mass transit.<\/p>\n<h2>Jack Allen on the 1,000th Proterra electric bus<\/h2>\n<p>Since 1997, Broward County has taken many voluntary actions to reduce greenhouse gases.\u00a0<strong>By 2030, Broward County plans to purchase only zero-emissions electric fleet and transit vehicles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDelivering clean, quiet transportation for all is an opportunity to meet the needs of our communities while protecting our environment and public health.
