• Group 2 - 35-foot Battery Electric Bus (BEB)

This award enables eligible state and local government agencies across California - including transit authorities, school districts, municipalities, and other public entities - to directly procure PhoenixEV's zero-emission buses through a simplified, pre-approved purchasing process. By leveraging the DGS statewide contract, agencies can avoid lengthy bid processes, gain access to pre-negotiated pricing, and accelerate their fleet electrification goals with confidence in product quality, compliance, and support. This streamlined procurement pathway plays a critical role in helping public fleets transition to zero-emission vehicles while meeting California's ambitious climate and air quality mandates.

"We're honored to be selected by the California DGS for this critical statewide contract," said Denton Peng, CEO of PhoenixEV. "This is a significant milestone for PhoenixEV, not only validating the strength of our product lineup, but also enabling us to expand our reach and support agencies across California with reliable, zero-emission solutions."

PhoenixEV's lineup includes purpose-built BEBs engineered for high performance, long range, and optimized passenger comfort, with a strong focus on reliability, total cost of ownership, and ease of service. The DGS contract award follows recent momentum from the Company, including partnerships in autonomous vehicle technology and continued expansion of its Greenville, South Carolina manufacturing facility.

This contract award reflects PhoenixEV's continued leadership in delivering innovative clean transportation solutions tailored to the needs of public and private fleet operators.
