  • The electric bus is powered only by battery and produces zero-emissions, contributing to cleaner and healthier air in Tucson.
  • In addition, it provides a quieter and more comfortable ride for passengers.
  • Sun Tran has purchased and expects to receive five additional electric buses later this year, paid for with funding awarded by the Federal Transit Administration’s Low-No Emission Grant program.
  • Tucson Electric Power upgraded Sun Tran’s electrical system and installed a new bus charging system at no cost to Sun Tran.

Since 2006, 100 percent of Sun Tran’s fleet is powered by clean fuel technology.

  • This fleet currently runs on biodiesel, compressed natural gas, and hybrid-electric power sources. Get a first look at the new electric bus in the video linked below.
