Outside of airports, the company has a long history of providing clean electric transit options. Lightning eMotors has been providing specialized and sustainable fleet solutions since 2009. They have been deploying complete zero-emission-vehicle solutions for commercial fleets since 2018.
The five Lightning ZEV4 cutaway vehicles are constructed on Lightning’s second-generation, GM4500-based platform. Equipped with shuttle bodies, they are projected to cover 100 miles per shift. During charging breaks, one vehicle will operate continuously utilizing Lightning’s DC fast charger, while the others will be employed on a daily basis and charged overnight using Level 2 chargers.
