Greenpower designs, builds and distributes a range of high-floor and low-floor all-electric heavy and medium-duty vehicles. This includes school cargo buses, buses for cargo and shuttles.
green power scooter is a zero-emission vehicle that has a high degree of customization. It's also fully FTA certified and Buy America compliant. It comes with a world-class range and ADA wheelchair-friendly features. It also provides cargo delivery setups.
greenpower scooter manufactures a complete line of heavy and medium-duty electric vehicles, which include lower-floor and high-floor models. Their flagship vehicle is the EV Star Cab & Chassis platform, which can accommodate a variety of body designs and upgrades for a variety of applications. The platform's design philosophy of clean sheets allows the best battery pack placement and a lower center of gravity, resulting in higher payload to range ratios.
The EV Star REEFERX was designed for mid-to-last mile refrigerated deliveries as well as catering applications. The refrigerated trucks in class 4 have a single interior wall structure and higher insulation than traditional trucks, enable seamless sanitation and better temperature control. They also have a longer service life. The EV Star REEFERX provides superior cargo capacity and an industry leading payload-to-range ratio for zero-emission goods and passenger transportation.
GreenPower has collaborated with Perrone Robotics to up-fit the EV Star with their TONY (To Navigate You) autonomous vehicle system, which will allow fleets to easily change to autonomous vehicles. The AV Star will also be able to support wireless charging up to 75 kW.
We had the chance to test drive the EV9 for a few hours on a local freeway and found it to be easy to drive and comfortable for long distances. The EV9 can block wind and road noise while driving along the highway. It rides smoothly over bumps and ruts. The acceleration is quite fast and the car has adjustable regenerative braking to enable "one pedal driving" by taking off the accelerator.
The EV9 has a great range and can be fully recharged in just three hours at home or with any commercial charger. Drivers have the option of choosing between two operating modes that include eco mode and sports mode. Eco mode focuses on the torque and cruise control and the sport mode increases speed and handling. Both are fun to drive and provide a unique driving experience for anyone that has not driven an electric vehicle before.
In addition to the EV9, GreenPower has several other e-vehicle offerings including a multi-purpose all-electric mini bus, called the EV Star. The EV Star is ADA compliant and can be utilized as an executive shuttle, micro-transit, transit vanpool, bus or a paratransit vehicle.
GreenPower produces approximately 10 EV Star busses a month for Jacksonville Transit Authority. The Jacksonville Transit Authority is replacing their older diesel vehicles fleet with 100 electric vehicles. GreenPower will increase production to meet the demands of the Biden Administration which wants to electrify all school buses in America. Their EV Star bus is the first of its kind to be tested in Altoona and FMVSS-certified, Buy America compliant and ADA certified. This means they'll be eligible for federal assistance in transit. We will be following the AV Star as it goes on its demonstration tour the coming months. We will share more details about this revolutionary electric vehicle.
