NYC's newest electric school buses come with a money-saving twist
Reported byElectrek ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
First Student deployed 40 new electric school buses in NYC's Brooklyn and Queens after completing a pilot project with Con Edison that used above-ground charging systems instead of buried cables, reducing infrastructure costs by 20 percent and accelerating installation timelines in dense urban environments.
New York State requires all new school buses purchased by 2027 to be zero-emission and all school buses on the road to be zero-emission by 2035.
