Clean Diesel remains the overwhelming choice for school buses. As we progress through the decade, Fuel Agnostic Engines (Diesel, Gasoline, Propane) from Cummins will dominate the landscape for new bus orders. 

If considering EV, the following steps should help streamline the process:

  • Involve your Account Representative, your facilities team, and local utilities when making commitments regarding infrastructure needs.
  • Order recommended charging equipment based upon the timeline provided by utility and facilities.
  • Based on the infrastructure timeline, order the EV bus(s). Lead times for EV buses can be much less than installation of the charging infrastructure. Make sure you consider all variables for how the chargers will be installed, connected to the utilities power grid, and commissioning. The bus should be the last step in your process.

Choose a team you can trust to be there to provide service, warranty, mandatory High Voltage EV training, and support.
