RIDE Celebrates Delivery of U.S.-Manufactured Battery-Electric Buses

At its manufacturing facility in Lancaster, CA, RIDE celebrated delivering five K7MER 30-foot battery-electric buses to the Macon-Bibb County Transit Authority. Overall, the company has built more than 2,000 battery-electric buses and trucks at the Lancaster location.

“This milestone represents the work of the people across our Lancaster facility who build, test, and deliver these vehicles,” said RIDE CEO Patrick Duan. “We’re proud to celebrate this achievement alongside Macon-Bibb and recognize the employees whose dedication makes it possible.”

The event brought together Macon-Bibb representatives and RIDE employees to recognize the partnership and production teams responsible for bringing the vehicles to life.

“RIDE buses were the first electric buses to run routes in Georgia in 2020,” said Craig Ross, president and CEO of the Macon-Bibb County Transit Authority. “We love our buses. They are our pride and joy.”
