Planning to Electrify your Electric Buses?

Why Electric School Buses?
‍
The transition from internal combustion engine (ICE) buses to electric buses can bring numerous benefits to US schools and local authorities, including improved air quality, lower operating costs, quieter operations, reduced dependence on fossil fuels, and a positive community impact.‍

‍

Sustainable Impacts
‍
In the pursuit of sustainability, global governments and local authorities are taking actions to reduce carbon emissions. The United States, in particular, is leading the way, with school districts eligible for funding to transition from diesel-powered buses to electric ones. The Clean School Bus Program, an initiative established by the Environmental Protection Agency under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law of 2021, provides $5 billion worth of funding over a 5-year period to support the shift towards low/zero emission school transport fleets. The funding offers fleet operators the resources necessary to make the transition and establish reliable charging operations.‍
