PROTERRA CATALYST®—DIFFERENT BY DESIGNINTRODUCING THE PROTERRA CATALYST™ PLATFORM

Ultimate FlexibilityHighest Performance Meet Every Route Need

The Proterra 35 and 40-foot Catalyst platform is designed to deliver a turn-key electric vehicle system, fully customized to meet the needs of your most demanding routes.


Most efficient in its class

• Highest efficiency of any vehicle in its class

• Longest range per kWh of energy storage

• Lowest fuel cost per mile

• 1.61 - 1.89 kWh/mile

THE PROTERRA CATALYST® PLATFORM

Proterra’s use of advanced composite materials makes the Proterra Catalyst not only the lightest, most efficient vehicle,but the most durable and safe as well.

Highly durable for greatest safety

• Advanced carbon-fiber-reinforced composite material

• Super strong, lightweight and impact-resistant

• Non-conductive and corrosion resistant

Lightest transit vehicles on the market

• Increased passenger seating capacity

• 40’ vehicle: 40 seated passengers• 35’ vehicle: 28 seated passengers

• Lowest rear axle weight in industry

• Less damage to roadways


THE PROTERRA CATALYST’S RANGE

*Depending on model. Nominal range = total energy/ projected Altoona efficiency. Actual range will vary with route conditions, battery configuration and driver behavior.


WHY USE A STANDARDIZED EV CAR CHARGER?

J1772 CCS (aka Combo) EV Car Standard

• The most common plug in charger in U.S.• Currently charges:

• Chevrolet Bolt• Chevrolet Spark EV• Volkswagen e-Golf• BMW i3• BMW i8• Hyundai Ioniq EV• Tesla Model S• Tesla Model X• All Proterra buses• ….and many more coming!


• 25 states with EV bus projects

- Including delivered and pending

• 60+ Projects total

- Many more on the way!

• Mostly 35ft and 40ft buses

• ~150 battery-electric buses delivered to customers today

- MANY more coming in 2017

Publicly Announced Battery-Electric Bus Projects (All Vendors)

• Lithium Ion Battery Chemistry

- NMC: Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide

- NCA: Lithium Nickel Cobalt Aluminum Oxide

- LTO: Lithium Titanate

- LFP: Lithium Iron Phosphate

• Charging Technologies

- Plug in chargers – Less complex and less costly implementation today (for smaller deployments)

- Overhead conductive chargers – allows the fastest charging and nearly 24/7 use of an electric bus

- Inductive chargers – Technology that is still maturing

• Standardization of charging technologies

Battery Electric Technology Types


• Bus Chassis Design

- Modify an existing ICE bus platform as a BEV (i.e. Ford Focus EV)

- Retrofit an “end of life” diesel bus with EV powertrain

- Ground up EV design (i.e. Tesla model S)

- Keeping it light and strong is KEY

• Current Electric Bus sizes available in North America (heavy duty):

- 30ft, 35ft, 40ft, 45ft high floor, 60ft (bendy bus)

- Under 30ft buses will be available, but battery cost needs to be competitive

- Same for school bus industry

• Powertrain designs

- Single motors, dual motors, multi-speed transmissions

- Capturing Regenerative Braking
