Online Electric School Bus Splash at ACT EXPO I
f the Advanced Clean Transportation EXPO in Long Beach, California last month is any indication, zero-emissions electric school buses are charging up to increase their footprint in the student transportation industry—over the next couple of decades at least. Regardless, investment into ZEVs and current events indicate a very real push towards all-electric school buses. About a week before three Sacramento school districts were to unveil the largest electric school bus pilot in the U.S. (see page 46 for more on this development), the California Air Resources Board announced on the exhibit floor that it had reached $599 million in electric vehicle grants and the approval of the state’s cap-and-trade funds. It also highlighted the 29 electric school buses from Lion Bus and TransTech Bus now in Sacramento as well as other advancements in ZEVs. Meanwhile, Creative Bus Sales displayed its new Starcraft zero-emission electric school bus
at ACT EXPO while ADOMANI showed a video of its own monocoque body electric school bus, which is expected to shown at next month’s STN EXPO. Another new electric school bus likely to be in Reno, Nevada is Blue-Bird’s zero-emission vehicle, a result of a $4.4 million U.S. Department of Energy grant earlier this year and a resulting partnership with Transpower.
