http://countocram.com/2024/03/07/yv52m7r9 Van Hool North American importer ABC Companies, recently completed a long-distance road trip along with customer Pacific Northwest-based charter bus and shuttle operator MTRWestern. ABC Companies supplied a new battery-electric Van Hool CX45E coach for the long-distance road test. The demonstration run made a round trip of nearly 1,700 miles. Starting in Newark, California the coach travelled to Seattle, Washington and back, using existing publicly available charging stations along the route.

ABC said that as well as proving the viability of electric coaches, the demonstration was also designed to test the viability of charging stations along a typical route. Some of the chargers used were not designed to readily accommodate larger passenger vehicles, it found, although they were capable of recharging the coach.

Charging times were said to be shorter than projected, averaging 2.5 to 3 hours, as the vehicle never used more than 65% of the available charge in its Proterra Powered battery packs.

Our customers who have the CX45E in their fleets also continue to see increases in range as their drivers improve their ability to manage energy usage.

Our continued success with the Proterra Powered electric drivetrain just keeps pushing the current boundaries for zero emissions motorcoach travel, making claims or records, somewhat irrelevant. These coaches perform as stated, period.”

Both passengers and drivers were impressed by the incredibly quiet ride and our drivers were especially pleased with the smooth coach handling and power, particularly during elevation gains.”
