A U.S. company will not be taking over a $20-million deal to supply Greater Victoria’s first cohort of electric buses.
In 2022, BC Transit said 10 electric buses would join the region’s fleet in the summer of 2023, but a Thursday (March 7) announcement said Greater Victoria will not be receiving them.
BC Transit awarded a contract to the California-based company Proterra in May 2022 to build and deliver the buses.
