Four new 100% electric community buses have set out in Mountain View City, California, beautiful Silicon Valley. Four free electric shuttle ships for the public, thanks to Google and are equipped with seats for 16 passengers, roller elevators, space for two wheelchairs, Wi-Fi connection and bicycle racks outside the ship shuttle. This sounds more attractive to me than a Tesla.
Free Mountain View community shuttle service, sponsored by Google, designed to move people and tourists through the city between neighborhoods, shopping centers, medical complexes, establishments. Street and entertainment area. These EVs can move up to 100 miles on a charge and provide passengers with quiet and comfortable trips. Officials are hoping for new free public transportation services to reduce traffic alone, as well as help residents around the town in a convenient route.
With many interesting places to visit in Mountain View, these new shuttle is just one more reason to kick themselves for leaving the San Francisco Bay area. In Mountain View Fidel Street alone, there is a market of farmers weekly and on Thursday, especially, the district has turned into an interesting street fair with many art and craft providers, and Classic car owners show. All other days of the week are also attractive, walking in multicultural blocks of ethnic restaurants and local businesses. And if you feel tired when walking, just jump the shuttle EV. Free of charge.
“We don't need to design new cars from the beginning”
Jim Castelaz said that with these four buses, thousands of residents will experience what a electric bus can provide. These buses prove that we do not need to design new vehicles from the beginning to break their dependence on fossil fuels and provide emissions air car options.
Motiv Power Systems, based in Foster City, California, has begun to design and build the control system of Mo -Mo, plug and play system in 2009. Motiv says its EPC is that it is The only set of products in the chassis industry is like a train option. Using a range of battery and engine sets sold on the market, this creative process allows minimum changes between fossil and electric versions of trucks or final buses.
EPC Motiv can be used to create all -electric versions such as box trucks, flat beds, cold trucks, utility/service trucks, shuttle buses, school bus , delivery cars and even garbage trucks. In 2014, Motiv was the first bus and bus company in the US to issue a completely electric school bus model and the first person in North America to release a truck truck completely equal to electricity.
The four spots of the New White and Blue Mountain View community have Ford E450 chassis and the body of the AMERITRANS 285 shuttle bus. The motivation and frame transmission are not new. This process is becoming quite popular in the truck and bus industry, and it is really similar to the amendment of naturally compressed airborne air vessels.
Mountain View, Googleplex HQ's famous Google's home
One of the major cities in California's Silicon Valley, Mountain View is where many IT companies are noticeable, including Symantec, Microsoft, Nokia, and of course, Google. The famous Googleplex became a new headquarters of Mountain View for Google in 2004. Now the home base for more than 70 offices in more than 40 countries around the world.
Google Meghan Casserly spokesman is satisfied with the new two -year pilot project. We are happy to work with Motiv and Mountain View City on the new electric shuttle ships, she said. We hope the shuttle system makes travel a bit easier and greener for all our neighbors.
It is really sad when we all cannot be Google's lucky neighbors. In addition to providing excellent, free community shuttle services, Wi-Fi, no emissions, Google also offers free Wi-Fi Internet on most Mountain View. Do not mention all the great Geeks and Geekettes of Google are decorating the neighborhood
Innovation and renewal houses are set up the trend of California
Mountain View SHuttle project is a beautiful combination of state and private players. The cost of the two -year pilot program of Shuttle service is supported by Google. However, the actual gasification of shuttle ships has been implemented through a Calstart project managed with funding from the California Energy Committee (CEC).
This is a great example of how the state and private funds can be used to help clean the air, cut greenhouse gas emissions and support the development of a company in California.
CEC's funding has allowed bus and service dealers, ABC companies, buying batteries and electrical transmission systems. In return, ABC companies have provided Google to Google with 100 percent shuttle ships, no emissions at the same cost as fossil shuttle ships.
In the pilot program, Motiv will collect data and samples. Its goal is to prove that electric shuttle buses are a feasible replacement for traditional diesel shuttle ships. The MotiV group declared that they hope to see a significant reduction in the time needed to produce these vehicles. It also predicts 8% reduction of ownership costs for initial production facilities and more than 30% for production vehicles.
Mountain View Shuttles is a perfect introduction
Jon we have tracked the development of electric buses over the past few years. Google's commitment to clean, efficient and cultural transportation of their company about promoting new technologies has given ABC's ABC subsidiary ABC's subsidiary company the opportunity to apply the complete electric drive system of Motiv. For their shuttle.
The high -ranking Vice President of ABC Savitz continues, the Mountain View community shuttle ships are the perfect display to apply this technology to our buses and bring cleaner public transport to humans. people and tourists of the city.
