RIDE Celebrates American Manufacturing Milestone as Macon-Bibb Transit Delivery Marks More Than 2,000 Battery-Electric Commercial Vehicles Built in Lancaster, California

Five-bus delivery to longtime Georgia customer highlights RIDE’s growing U.S. manufacturing operation and the employees behind its electric vehicles.

LANCASTER, CA (November 9, 2026) — RIDE celebrated the delivery of five new battery-electric transit buses to the Macon-Bibb County Transit Authority during an event at its Lancaster, California, manufacturing facility. The occasion also marked a major production milestone, with more than 2,000 battery-electric buses and trucks built at the facility.

Macon-Bibb has been a RIDE customer since August 2020, and its electric fleet has accumulated close to 500,000 miles. The event brought together Macon-Bibb representatives and RIDE employees to recognize the longstanding partnership and the 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.”

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