Proterra Catalyst
open-in-new
<h2 id="history">History</h2> <p>In 2014 Proterra introduced the Catalyst, a fast-charge 100% electric bus to replace the EcoRide BE35. The bus was built on the EcoRide's design and engineering and delivered a longer, lighter and more fuel-efficient bus. The second-generation bus measures either 42 ft (12.8 m) or 36 ft (11.0 m) and weighs approximately 27,000 lb (12,000 kg). The bus is built from lightweight, durable carbon composite. The overall lower weight helps reduce wear and tear on streets. It has no tailpipe and runs virtually silent. </p> <h2 id="specifications">Specifications</h2> <p>With the on-route fast charging system, the Catalyst can be operated continuously, 24/7, without the need to head to the depot for lengthy charge times. Catalyst buses equipped with the Fast Charge (FC) battery pack can charge at a rate of up to 500 kW.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:1" href="#fn:1"><sup>1</sup></a> The company added a 35 ft (10.7 m) model of the Catalyst to its product line in October 2015. </p><p>Catalyst is a modular system, offered with two different lengths, two different drivetrains, and seven different batteries, depending on the required passenger capacity, speed (hill performance),<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:2" href="#fn:2"><sup>2</sup></a> and range, respectively.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:3" href="#fn:3"><sup>3</sup></a> </p> Proterra Catalyst combinations<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:4" href="#fn:4"><sup>4</sup></a><table><tbody><tr><td colspan="2" rowspan="2"> </td><th colspan="4">Drivetrain</th></tr><tr><th colspan="2">DuoPower</th><th colspan="2">ProDrive</th></tr><tr><th colspan="2" rowspan="2">Output<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:5" href="#fn:5"><sup>5</sup></a></th><td>Peak</td><td>Continuous</td><td>Peak</td><td>Continuous</td></tr><tr><td>240–510 hp180–380 kW</td><td>150–257 hp112–192 kW</td><td>245–295 hp183–220 kW</td><td>150–181 hp112–135 kW</td></tr><tr><th colspan="2"> </th><th><a href="/facts/Miles_per_gallon_gasoline_equivalent/HGmYreVp">MPGe</a></th><th>Range</th><th><a href="/facts/Miles_per_gallon_gasoline_equivalent/HGmYreVp">MPGe</a></th><th>Range</th></tr><tr><th rowspan="7">Battery</th><td rowspan="1">FC(94 kW-hr)</td><td>26.8–27.1 mpg‑US8.8–8.7 L/100 km</td><td>67–68 mi108–109 km</td><td>22.0 mpg‑US10.7 L/100 km</td><td>55 mi89 km</td></tr><tr><td rowspan="1">FC+(126 kW-hr)</td><td>25.8–26.1 mpg‑US9.1–9.0 L/100 km</td><td>86–94 mi138–151 km</td><td>21.5 mpg‑US10.9 L/100 km</td><td>72 mi116 km</td></tr><tr><td rowspan="1">XR(220 kW-hr)</td><td>27.9–28.1 mpg‑US8.4–8.4 L/100 km</td><td>163–164 mi262–264 km</td><td>23.3 mpg‑US10.1 L/100 km</td><td>136 mi219 km</td></tr><tr><td rowspan="1">XR+(330 kW-hr)</td><td>26.8–27.1 mpg‑US8.8–8.7 L/100 km</td><td>235–238 mi378–383 km</td><td>22.0 mpg‑US10.7 L/100 km</td><td>193 mi311 km</td></tr><tr><td rowspan="1">E2(440 kW-hr)</td><td>25.8–26.1 mpg‑US9.1–9.0 L/100 km</td><td>302–305 mi486–491 km</td><td>21.5 mpg‑US10.9 L/100 km</td><td>251 mi404 km</td></tr><tr><td rowspan="1">E2+<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:6" href="#fn:6"><sup>6</sup></a>(550 kW-hr)</td><td>25.2 mpg‑US9.3 L/100 km</td><td>367 mi591 km</td><td>20.7 mpg‑US11.4 L/100 km</td><td>303 mi488 km</td></tr><tr><td rowspan="1">E2 max<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:7" href="#fn:7"><sup>7</sup></a>(660 kW-hr)</td><td>24.3 mpg‑US9.7 L/100 km</td><td>426 mi686 km</td><td>20.0 mpg‑US11.8 L/100 km</td><td>350 mi560 km</td></tr><tr><td colspan="6">Notes</td></tr></tbody></table> <h3>Drivetrains</h3> <p>At introduction, the Catalyst was equipped with a single electric traction motor, the <a href="/facts/UQM_Technologies/km1unrhb">UQM Technologies</a> HD220.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:8" href="#fn:8"><sup>8</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:9" href="#fn:9"><sup>9</sup></a> The HD220 was rated at 220 kW (300 hp) peak power (120 kW (160 hp) continuous) and 700 N⋅m (520 ft⋅lb) peak torque (350 N⋅m (260 ft⋅lb) continuous);
