Blue Bird Opens New Production Facility For Electric School Bus Production
4 days ago
School districts in the U.S. and Canada are increasingly shifting their bus fleets toward electric, zero-emission vehicles in an effort to decrease greenhouse gas emissions, enhance the well-being of students and communities, and counteract rising fuel expenses. To expedite the adoption of electric school buses and the necessary charging infrastructure, school districts are leveraging substantial public funding sources.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency , it is expected that 30% of all model year 2027 school buses will be powered by electricity. The EPA’s newly proposed greenhouse gas emissions standards for heavy-duty vehicles project this number to rise to 45% for model year 2032 school buses. Blue Bird’s EV Build-up Center aims to bolster the company’s long-term production capacity, allowing for the manufacture of up to 5,000 electric school buses annually.
Blue Bird’s EV Build-up Center is equipped with InCharge Energy ICE-30 chargers and mobile carts, enabling flexible charging options for electric school buses before they are delivered to customers. With this charging infrastructure in place, newly-assembled buses at the EV Build-up Center can be fully charged within four hours.
Finally, electric school buses can also provide benefits to the electrical grid by helping balance out peak demand during certain times of day. By charging during off-peak hours when electricity is cheaper and then discharging during peak hours when electricity is more expensive, electric school buses can help reduce overall energy costs while providing a reliable source of energy storage for the grid.
