Proterra to Provide Zero-Emission Buses to Yosemite
Yosemite National Park in California’s Sierra Nevada Mountains recently announced plans to acquire two zero-emission buses from Proterra, becoming the first U.S. national park to incorporate the vehicles into its shuttle fleet.
Ryan Popple, chief executive officer of Proterra, said, “Yosemite was the first wildland protected in the United States, by President Abraham Lincoln, over 150 years ago. … The Proterra team is especially proud to directly contribute to the preservation of Yosemite National Park. We believe that upholding the environmental integrity of our nation’s most precious resources is of paramount importance.”
With more than five million visitors each year, Yosemite has seen its free shuttle service travel 436,000 miles annually with 3.8 million boardings. In 2001, the park began replacing its diesel bus fleet with diesel-electric hybrid vehicles.
