RIVERSIDE, Calif. – ElDorado National (California), Inc. or ENC, a subsidiary of REV Group Inc. and an industry leader in heavy-duty transit buses and emission-free technology, announces Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) has ordered 22 of its 40′ Axess CNG-powered buses and four of its new 40′ Axess EVO-BE™ Battery Electric buses.
DFW, one of the largest airports in the world, is the first carbon-neutral airport in North America. This new fleet of ENC buses is part of the airport’s ongoing efforts to maintain this status. This fleet of Axess buses, ordered through Creative Bus Sales, ENC’s largest dealer in North America, is expected to be delivered to DFW in Summer 2023.
ENC’s Axess platform delivers industry-leading performance and safety and features a low floor making it an ideal choice for airports. Axess buses are in operation at 33 airports around the country. The new Axess EVO-BE™ is the next generation in ENC’s line of zero-emission battery electric buses which is purpose-built for every transit and shuttle application, and available with an industry-leading 738 kWh of battery energy storage.
