Getting Under the Hood of SunLine’s Fleet

At SunLine, we are on a mission to stay ahead of the curve. That is why our fleet is made up of multiple propulsion methods.

Our current fixed route fleet is made up of:

• 59 CNG buses
• 16 Hydrogen fuel cell buses
• 4 Battery electric buses

This clean air fleet is only getting cleaner as we transition to 100% zero-emission buses by 2035. That is five years before a state-mandated deadline, including our paratransit fleet, SunDial, which will be zero-emission by 2032.
