Greenpower Mobility - All-Energy Medium and Heavy-Duty Vehicles
Greenpower designs manufactures and distributes the entire range of heavy- and power mobility scooter medium-duty electric vehicles. This includes transit buses, school cargo buses, buses for cargo, and shuttles.
EV Star is a highly customizable zero-emission vehicle that's fully FTA certified, Altoona tested and Buy America certified. It offers a range that is world-class and ADA wheelchair provisions. It also provides cargo delivery options.
EV Star
GreenPower Motor Company produces a full line of high-floor as well as low-floor all-electric medium and heavy-duty vehicles. The EV Star Cab & Chassis is their flagship model, and it can be customized to suit a wide range of applications. The platform's design philosophy of clean sheets allows the best battery pack placement and a lower center of gravity, which results in better payload-to-range ratios.
The EV Star REEFERX was designed for mid-to last mile refrigerated deliveries as well as catering applications. The class 4 refrigerated trucks' one interior wall structure, and higher insulation than traditional trucks, allow for seamless sanitation and better temperature control. They also have a longer service life. The EV Star REEFERX has a higher capacity for cargo and a payload that is industry-leading to range for green power mobility reviews zero-emission goods or 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 seamlessly transition to autonomous vehicles. The AV Star will also be able to support wireless charging at 75 kW.
We were capable of testing the EV9 on an unpaved highway for several hours. We found it easy to drive and comfortable to drive long distances. The ride is smooth and smooth over bumps and ruts, while the EV9 is a master of reducing the sound of traffic and wind on the highway. The acceleration is surprisingly quick and the vehicle has adjustable regenerative brakes that allow "one pedal driving" by simply lifting off of the accelerator.
The EV9 offers a great range and can be charged within three hours or less at home, or with any commercial charger. The driver can choose from two operating modes: eco mode and sport mode. The eco mode prioritizes torque and cruise control and the sport mode increases speed and handling. Both are fun to drive and offer an experience unlike any other for anyone who has never driven an electric vehicle before.
GreenPower offers a variety of other electric vehicles which include a multi-purpose electric minibus called the EV Star. The EV Star is ADA compliant and can be utilized as an executive shuttle, transit or micro-transit vanpool, Green Power Electric Scooter bus, or paratransit vehicle.
GreenPower is already producing around 10 EV Star buses per month for the Jacksonville Transit Authority, which is attempting to replace their fleet of diesel vehicles with 100 all-electric vehicles. With the Biden Administration planning to electrify school buses across the country, GreenPower plans on ramping production to meet demand. Their EV Star bus is the first of its kind to be Altoona-tested and FMVSS-certified, Buy America compliant and ADA certified. This will make them eligible for federal transit grants. Stay tuned when we follow the AV Star on its tour of demonstration later this year. We will be sure to give more details about this innovative EV!
