Roush CleanTech, Penske Truck Leasing and Proterra Inc. announced a new collaboration under which Proterra will supply battery technology to Roush CleanTech for development of its next-generation Ford F-650 all-electric commercial truck.

Roush CleanTech will integrate its advanced clean technology and control systems to leverage Ford’s medium-duty chassis and Proterra’s battery technology to Penske Truck Leasing, which will be the first customer for this next-generation product.
