Porto No. 210 (renumbered Enterprises (1974-1993) 201 before arrival) is not a part of the Trolley Park story, of course, but it is similar to the streetcars that were kept there. Richard Thompson Car 210 was one of a series built during 1938-45 to replace the Brill and St. Louis Car Company classics. A sense of familiarity might also come from the fact that vintage Beginning in 1974, Gales Creek Enterprises (GCE), Portuguese trams share a kinship with our beloved Council headed by Oregon Electric Railway Historical Society Crest cars 503 and 506. (OERHS) co-founder Paul Class, provided at least 70 vintage streetcars to launch trolley operations in a half-dozen American cities.

  • S Inductive Chargers to Power Twin Transit Authority in Chehalis, Washington
    Ideanomics Announces WAVE’s Inductive Chargers to Power Twin Transit Authority in Chehalis, Washington June 3, 2021 (Source) — Founded in 2011, WAVE is a leading provider of inductive wireless charging systems for commercial electric vehicles (EVs) High-power, cable-free, in-route charging helps Washington-based transit authority extend the driving range of their electric buses WAVE’s technology is proven in the field with multiple commercial customer deployments across the U.S. This adoption will accelerate Twin Transit’s progress toward achieving its goal to make its fleet fully electric by 2030 Ideanomics (NASDAQ: IDEX) (“Ideanomics” or the “Company”) has today announced its subsidiary WAVE, a leading developer of high-power inductive charging solutions for medium and heavy- duty vehicles, has completed another transit authority deployment, adding the Twin Transit Authority (TTA) in Chehalis, Washington to its growing list of transit fleet customers. TTA has adopted and completed installation of WAVE’s 250-kilowatt high-power wireless charging system to help achieve their zero-emission goals. One of the most significant barriers mass transit agencies face in the move to zero-emission electric vehicles is matching the typical driving range of diesel buses. WAVE’s automated, cable-free system will be deployed in route to extend the range of TTA’s first two battery-electric buses, representing a big leap forward in the agency’s goal to make its entire 20 vehicle fleet carbon-neutral by 2030. “Our organization sees this technology as a critical component of the future of electric bus operations, and we were determined to join forces with a company that was both easy to work with and had successful models of implementation” explained Twin Transit’s Executive Director Joe Clark.
