California, United States- GreenPower Motor Company Inc., a manufacturer and distributor of purpose-built, all-electric, zero-emission medium and heavy-duty vehicles serving the cargo and delivery market, shuttle and transit space and school bus sector, today announced it will deliver five Type D BEAST all-electric, purpose-built, zero-emission school buses to two school districts in California this week.
Mr. Paul Start, GreenPower Vice President of Sales – School Bus Group. “Delivery of our all-electric Type D BEAST school buses in California this week shows the continued preference for GreenPower’s purpose-built product in the marketplace. GreenPower remains the only OEM to manufacture both a Class 4 purpose-built Type A all-electric school bus in its Nano BEAST and a Type D all-electric, purpose-built school bus in its BEAST. This product combination allows school districts to meet its student transportation needs, all while taking full advantage of state incentives and programs.”
This week, we’re delivering five BEAST school buses to California: four to the Cutler-Orosi Joint Unified School District and one to the Terra Bella Union Elementary School District. “We’re thrilled these districts value the health and safety benefits of our all-electric, zero-emission buses,” said Start. “GreenPower’s electric school buses offer a safe, sustainable, and efficient transportation option, supporting a healthy learning environment for students.”
