Textron Specialized Vehicles’ new line of Cushman Shuttle personnel carriers is powered by the company’s exclusive 72-volt AC electric drivetrain. The drivetrain features improved energy efficiency and increased range and is incorporated into its Cushman Shuttle 4, Shuttle 6, and Shuttle 8 models.

The 72-volt AC drivetrain generates longer battery life, enabling vehicles to travel further between charges, and has improved hill-climbing capabilities, according to the company.

Shuttle vehicles are known for transporting people and cargo throughout large facilities such as golf courses, airports, educational facilities, and college campuses. Cushman Shuttles feature standard headlights, brush guard, hour meter, and USB port, and can be equipped with a range of options and accessories, including a limited-slip differential, brush guard, windshields, canopies, and more.

The Cushman Shuttle 4 features seating for up to four people, with a stake-side cargo bed to carry equipment, luggage, or personal belongings. The Shuttle 6 features seating for up to six people, and the Shuttle 8 can carry up to eight.
