The Proterra ZX5 is a battery-electric, low-floor transit bus that Proterra announced in September 2020 as the replacement for its Catalyst. It was sold in 35 and 40 foot lengths, with Edmonton Transit Service the launch customer for the 40 foot bus. It keeps the composite body of the Catalyst but has a more angular shape and a lower roof, and it carries batteries of 220, 440 or 660 kilowatt hours, the largest offered only on the 40 foot bus and claimed to run up to 329 miles. Each battery size could be paired with a single-motor ProDrive drivetrain or the two-motor DuoPower drivetrain, and the bus charges either from an overhead OppCharge rail or a plug-in connector. After Proterra's bankruptcy in 2023 the bus manufacturing business was sold to Phoenix Motorcars, which has built the ZX5 since.
