The company, known for its vertically integrated approach, continues to set benchmarks with top-tier vehicles, charging solutions, and fleet management software, solidifying its position as America’s fastest-growing specialty EV manufacturer.

Key Highlights

  • Top Score: The B4 shuttle’s 90.1 rating outshines competitors in the Altoona test, a gold standard for transit vehicle durability and safety.
  • FTA Certification: Passing Altoona unlocks access to FTA grants, with over $4.5 billion already awarded for eco-friendly buses.
  • Versatile Design: The B4 seats up to 18 passengers, offers ADA-compliant options, and balances sustainability with performance.

The Altoona test, held at the Larson Transportation Institute in Pennsylvania, evaluates a bus’s ability to withstand the toughest transit conditions. Endera’s success reflects its commitment to quality, as noted by CEO John Walsh: “We are tremendously proud of our Altoona results which prove the superior quality and performance of our electric vehicles.” This certification ensures the B4 meets FTA standards, opening doors for state and local governments to adopt these buses using federal funding.

Endera stands out with its all-in-one model, designing and building vehicles entirely in the U.S. This approach delivers cost-effective, reliable solutions with a low total cost of ownership. The B4 shuttle, ideal for tours and transit, offers quiet, smooth rides and significant savings through electrification. As the only vertically integrated EV OEM in America, Endera is redefining the market.
