Pioneer Power Solutions, Inc. announced that it has received an initial order from the City of Fairfield, California, through AssetWorks, a leading supplier of fleet management software, automated fueling systems and EV charge management software, for one e-Boost trailer-mounted unit to service the electric portion of Fairfield's public bus fleet. The unit will include high-capacity DC charging capability, utilizing a 200kW ChargePoint charger, independently powered by a 240kW propane-fueled engine, all integrated on a mobile trailer. Located in the North Bay sub-region of the San Francisco Bay Area, approximately halfway between San Francisco and Sacramento, Fairfield is the county seat of Solano County, California.

With a population of 119,881 at the 2020 census, Fairfield is the home of Travis Air Force Base. In August, 2022, the Federal Transit Administration awarded a $12.0 million Bus and Low- and No- Emission Grant to the City of Fairfield for transit electrification. Fairfield was one of 150 transit agencies across the United States (19 agencies in California) to be awarded this funding.

The grant award covers the purchase of five GILLIG battery electric buses, three ChargePoint chargers, infrastructure upgrades, vehicle maintenance facility upgrades, and workforce development. Along with the other state and local funds, this award provides enough funding for the first phase of transit electrification. The California Air Resources Board adopted an Innovative Clean Transit regulation requiring all buses to be zero emission by 2040.

Fairfield-Suisun Transit ("FAST") has chosen to meet this mandate through electrification of its fleet. This competitive federal award is critical funding that will allow FAST to timely begin electrification infrastructure and maintenance upgrades at the City's Corporation Yard.
