The Proterra EcoRide, sold as the BE35, was the first battery-electric transit bus offered by Proterra. It is a 35 foot low-floor bus with a composite body, built from 2010 to 2014 and seating 38 including the driver, with room for 60 passengers in all. Its electric traction motor drew on lithium-titanate batteries that could be recharged in a few minutes at a bus stop through overhead terminals, which suited short circulator routes better than long ones because the total battery capacity was small. The design grew out of a hydrogen fuel cell prototype shown in 2008, and Foothill Transit in southern California took the first production bus into revenue service in September 2010. Other agencies including Nashville, Worcester and San Antonio bought it with federal grant money. The larger Proterra Catalyst replaced the EcoRide in 2014.
