Phoenix Motor Inc. announced its recent delivery of an all-electric, zero-emission Z400 shuttle bus to the City of Grand Terrace. The electric service truck is built on a Ford E-450 chassis powered by Phoenix Motorcars and will serve the city and their community. This electric vehicle was funded in part by the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District's VW Program aimed at helping mitigate pollution by scrapping older gas and diesel shuttle buses throughout California.

Simultaneously, the City of Grand Terrace announced the acquisition of a new all-electric bus, made possible through funding from the Volkswagen (VW) Environmental Mitigation Trust. Sourced from Phoenix, this eco-friendly vehicle marks a significant step towards sustainable transportation in community. Designed to serve the needs of senior and disabled residents, the bus will facilitate transportation to essential appointments, routine outings such as grocery shopping, and special events.

Its emission-free operation aligns with commitment to environmental stewardship and improving air quality. Operated by Vickie Thompson, a valued member of the city's transportation team with a year of dedicated service, the bus symbolizes dedication to providing safe, reliable, and environmentally conscious transportation solutions for all members of community. The Phoenix Z400 shuttle bus is equipped with a 105-kWh battery pack offering up to 115-mile range and can be fully charged in two to three hours with a 50-kW Level III charger.

The Z400 shuttle, as compared to its equivalent fossil fueled alternative, can reduce atmospheric emissions by ~61 tons per vehicle annually, reduce maintenance costs by 75% and fuel costs by 80%. Phoenix has been the leader in medium duty electrification for over a decade. With over 4 million all-electric miles driven on its zero emission drive systems, Phoenix has unparalleled experience and expertise helping public and private fleets successfully deploy and adopt electric vehicles into their fleets, cleaning the air quality and providing clean, quiet and safe zero emission transportation and mobility for their companies and communities.
