One of the biggest problems in air pollution from motor vehicles is when they sit and idle. Anyone nearby, especially for diesel vehicles, gets to smell the nasty fumes, breathe the particulate matter, and more.
Do we get anything back for that nastiness? Not really, because an idling engine uses a lot of fuel just to give you a little bit of heat or to not have a rough start. So, replacing diesel school buses, which idle around kids, is a high priority.
“Peterson brings 76 years of sales and service experience to this new relationship with GreenPower,” said Michael Perez, GreenPower’s Vice President of School Bus, Contracts and Grants. “With five locations across the state of Oregon, we look forward to working with them to build on the current footprint GreenPower already enjoys in the state. Oregon operates nearly 4,900 school buses and GreenPower has already been quoting bus sales for several school districts.
GreenPower is already making a big impact in Oregon. Its EV Star models provide employee shuttles for one of the world’s leading sporting goods corporations and transportation solutions for non-profits in the area. Additionally, two award-winning Type A Nano BEAST buses are being produced specifically to serve Portland Public Schools — Oregon’s largest school district — and further BEAST buses are concluding their ordering process with other educational institutions nearby.
The Mobility House and their partners are gathering data from this project to generate resources across New York that satisfy the state’s electric school bus mandate for 2035, as well as NYCSBUS’ determination of electrifying 850 buses by 2030. This also involves providing immediate assistance with transitioning two additional school districts towards electrification.
