The eJEST operated as a demo at Hillsborough County

Hillsborough County is a county located in the west-central portion of the U.S. state of Florida. Hillsborough Area Regional Transit Authority (HART) offers accessible and budget-friendly public transportation solutions designed to meet the needs of today's busy lifestyles.

The eJEST, featuring a low-floor entrance and ramp, is designed to improve the accessibility and convenience of HARTFlex routes, On-Demand services, and Circulators. As HART looks into options for their future fleet, we are confident the eJEST will play a key role in their shift to battery-electric buses. It was a pleasure to demonstrate how our Mini ZEB fits perfectly with HART's goals of achieving innovative, sustainable, and cost-effective fleet solutions.

The demo aligns with our efforts to explore sustainable and cost-effective fleet options, supported by federal grants.

The vehicle would be considered for use on HARTFlex routes, On-Demand services, and Circulators. Ensuring compliance with state and federal regulations remains a priority as we explore its potential for our future fleet."
