Minnesota Valley Transit Authority (MVTA) will deploy a 40-foot Proterra Catalyst® E2 electric bus for Super Bowl 52. Zero-emission, battery electric buses represent an economic solution that supports the Twin Cities sustainability goals and commitment to the Paris Climate Agreement.

MVTA Executive Director Luther Wynder said, “As thousands of people flock to the Twin Cities for the Big Game, it’s paramount that we deliver on our promise to provide reliable, high-performance transit to all of our riders. By deploying the Proterra® battery-electric bus during the busiest week of the year, we will share this state-of-the-art technology with travellers from near and far."

The routes are scheduled to run during rush hour and weekend peak hours beginning on Friday, 26^th January through to 4^th February on Super Bowl Sunday, the Proterra bus will operate during freezing temperatures. The vehicle’s performance remains reliable through extreme weather because its E2 battery system includes active thermal management which monitors battery cell temperature and voltage. Unlike other electric bus technologies, the Proterra battery integrates liquid cooling and proprietary state of charge algorithms that enable long life, rapid charge times and operation in virtually any climate.
