A battery power pack in a sidelined electric bus ignited Wednesday at SEPTA’s Southern Bus Depot, occupying city fire crews for hours and delivering another possible setback to efforts to build a low-emission fleet in Philadelphia.The transit agency bought 25 battery-electric buses from California manufacturer Proterra in 2016, but all have been parked at the depot since 2020 after discovery of cracks in bus frames and performance problems.
The bus was towed from the garage and isolated in a nearby parking lot. The Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating.
Wait till they start putting your children are these fire tramps. 🙏
Sounds like a defective battery. There is no way this is a setback.
Pros =Low Co2. Cons= it could explode unexpectedly & kill people. TonyBrunoShow
