Electric school bus transportation

A smoother route to zero-emission school bus transportation

Switch to electric school bus fleets with a trusted partner

We’ve been bringing clean air to communities since 2017, working with bus and coach operators to switch from diesel to electric fleets. With a dedicated team of technical experts and engineers, our focus is on understanding school transportation contractor’s and school fleet needs then designing and delivering the electric depot to match.

 

We’re market leaders in end-to-end electrification, and with an end-of-life plan for EV batteries, we bring a deep understanding of the technology.

Zero emission transport, simplified and reliable

We take on the risk, so our customers can focus on what they do best – getting students to school safely.

 

From grant support, to design and delivery of charging infrastructure. From performance guarantees, to bespoke optimization. We’ll work with you to overcome the barriers and make a smooth switch to electric student transportation.

A partnership approach to grants

Core to our service is our partnership approach to grants. The Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Clean School Bus Program and state-level grants are fantastic opportunities to accelerate the switch to zero-emission fleets.

 

Our team will help you develop grant applications that meet state and federal requirements, your depot’s charging infrastructure needs and your daily route demands.

What we will do for you

✓ Grant management services for federal, state and local funding

✓ Optimized infrastructure planning and design

✓ Utility coordination

✓ Technical and engineering expertise

✓ Construction and project management

✓ Reporting and compliance to funding requirements

24/7 electric school bus monitoring and performance guarantees

Maintain excellent services with operational assurance for every route, every day.

 

We provide performance guarantees for batteries and chargers under your contract with Zenobē, for peace of mind and operational certainty.

Battery-as-a-service and second-life applications

Batteries degrade and will need replacing at some stage during the life of your electric school bus. We remove this risk by offering a unique managed service, taking on responsibility for the battery’s performance and replacement once it can no longer meet route requirements.

 

And, by monitoring battery behavior throughout this first life, we gather data that enables us to repurpose them in less intensive applications, using this value to keep costs down for our customers.
