American electric vehicle manufacturer Proterra has been working hard on developing its electric buses, and this labour has now borne fruit in the form of the Proterra Catalyst E2 Max, an electric bus that recently managed to demonstrate a drive of 1,772 kilometres, the best run ever managed by any electric vehicle.
This electric bus offers 660 kWh of energy, and is advertised to manage a range of up to 563 kilometres, but some crafty additions have allowed the Catalyst E2 Max to go above and beyond that already-impressive figure.
With such a spectacular range displayed, the Proterra Catalyst E2 Max could make a big splash in the public transit sector, and is sure to appeal to transit authorities looking for more eco-friendly ways to help citizens get around.
