CONTACT US CUSTOMER SUPPORT REVOLUTIONIZING TRANSIT The Proterra ZX5 Electric Transit Bus Unmatched Performance Best acceleration, greatest horsepower, highest MPGe Longest Range Up to 329 miles on a single charge Greatest Savings Lowest operating costs, zero tailpipe emissions THE PROTERRA ZX5 Go the Distance Electric buses have become more efficient than ever with the Proterra ZX5, the next evolution in zero-emission transit. The Proterra ZX5 is refined based on a decade of delivering the Catalyst — the most popular electric bus in North America. Since 2004, the EV industry has evolved toward full fleet electrification, and Proterra buses have evolved with it. Proterra’s fifth-generation vehicle, the ZX5 electric bus employs the same technology that broke the world record for longest EV range, with a purpose-built platform proven by 20+ million service miles. The ZX5 features faster acceleration, industry-leading gradability, and the most battery storage on any 40-foot electric bus, offering a range of more than 300 miles per charge. Now you can make the shift to an electric fleet without compromising on vehicle performance.
