National contractor First Student announced its goal to convert 30,000 buses—over 70 percent of its North American fleet—to electric by 2035. It currently has 244 electric buses deployed.


ward the future, the biggest question is if ESBs are going to be produced quickly enough to meet all the mandates. “Does it get extended because they can’t meet the


part of our operation,” Smith continued. “And we hope by 2027, there are going to have many more advancements in technology coming off the production line.” Teno Gustavson, the director of vehicle maintenance leading the electric bus maintenance and infrastructure program at Suffolk, added that manufacturers need to be able to ramp up production so that buses can be built within the needed time frame. He said as Suffolk looks to-


demand? There [are] a lot of question marks that still need to be answered as we move forward,” Gustavson explained. “Getting buses, getting data, seeing where we’re at, and understanding the maintenance time to repair them and maintain them and warranties.” Smith and Gustavoson shared the cost of ESBs also needs to come down to more sustainable numbers so that they can price it out to customers accordingly. “Produc- ing more will bring costs down, we hope,” Smith added.

Occupant Detection Sensing Solutions


Life Detection Assistance System Advanced child-check system for pupil transportation safety


A trip to school and back must always be a safe one. Aside from the responsibility of getting children safely to their destination, a school bus driver is also mandated to make sure no child is left behind on the vehicle at the end of the day. To support the drivers in this endeavor, enhance child safety, and give parents that extra peace of mind, we developed LiDAS. Based on low-energy radio frequency technology, this Life Detection Assistance System has been de- signed for advanced vehicle occupant detection. It efficiently scans the vehicle and can sense even the sleeping motion of a child or spot the ones hidden in blind corners.
