Company
Overview
2011 HQ Established
North American Headquarters
The company set up its North American headquarters in Los Angeles this year.
2014 PlantOpened
Lancaster Bus Manufacturing Plant
A manufacturing plant for electric buses was opened in Lancaster, California.
- Originally founded as a battery innovator, it grew into a manufacturer of electric buses, trucks, forklifts, monorails, solar and energy storage solutions
- Finances derive from its status as a public, vertically integrated global company with strong battery-electric vehicle and energy lines
- Common projects include supplying electric buses to major transit systems in Los Angeles and San Francisco, and manufacturing electric trucks for commercial fleets
- Sector expertise spans urban electric transport, medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, energy infrastructure and renewable power systems
- A striking fact: it’s the only union-employed electric bus maker in North America and also builds monorail systems under its SkyRail name
