NEW All-Electric Bus | Knoxville Area Transit, TN

KAT is pleased to introduce our all- electric vehicles. 

Here are a few of the amazing benefits of this new technology: 

CLEAN 

With their zero-emission drive, this bus operates with 100% electric propulsion. Each electric bus helps us prevent nearly 300,000 pounds of greenhouse gas emissions in our community annually. That’s like planting 2,283 trees. Electric buses also reduce tailpipe exhaust, keeping our air cleaner and our riders healthier. 

QUIET

Electric vehicles are up to 50% quieter than a standard vehicle, so everyone on the bus as well as in the community benefits from reduced noise pollution. 

CONNECTED

These vehicles can run a long time on an electric charge, returning to the garage at the end of the day to plug in and charge back up. Meanwhile, did you know that while on the bus, you can be connected as well? In addition to the free wi-fi, all seats on these electric buses have a USB port to keep you charged up and going!
