than 2.5 million miles of service. Designed from the start as an
exclusively electric vehicle, Catalyst delivers exceptional route
fl exibility and proven operational performance, with the greatest
range of any zero-emission, battery-electric bus in its class.

the market’s highest-effi ciency electric drivetrain, the Catalyst
bus is designed to safely and quietly endure nearly two decades
of on-road service, with minimal maintenance required.
Proterra off ers a modular, technology-centric approach to
vehicle confi guration. Customers can choose from two vehicle
sizes and can select their energy level, as well as charging
solutions to meet the needs of their specifi c routes. Catalyst
buses can be upgraded to meet changing needs throughout

Improved Comfort and Efficiency
Vision Systems Booth 8712
Vision Systems is exhibiting a multizone Electronically Dimmable
Window (EDW). EDWs, integrated into the glazing, allow
the passengers to tune the tint of their window from clear to
dark in order to regulate daylight, glare and heat entering in,
while preserving the view. They enhance visual, thermal and
acoustic comfort, for a greater wellness atmosphere. They can
be controlled directly by the passenger, through a centralized
control panel, or automatically with integrated light sensors.
Moreover, they turn dark when the vehicle or train is
stopped, keeping the interior cooler for low air-conditioning
consumption. The electronics are integrated, which facilitates
installation (original equipment or retrofi tting) and reduces
maintenance and downtime. Lastly, they are suitable for large
fl at or curved surfaces with diff erent zones to be dimmed
independently.
