On June 21, 2011, several Z-TUG members held a meeting at the Foothill Transit Pomona Facility in Pomona, California. During the day, the Z-TUG members had the opportunity to ride one of Foothill’s new Proterra Ecoliner battery electric bus and observe a fast charging demonstration. (See a video of the bus in action below.)

Please see this Z-TUG Newsletter which highlights the proceedings and information shared during this last Z-TUG meeting. We hope you will find this publication informative. Our next meeting is planned for September 2011.

Foothill Transit showed off its all-electric bus from maker Proterra in June 2011. This bus is able to charge in about ten minutes and has a range of about 30 miles.
