GreenPower Motor Company, a manufacturer and distributor of purpose-built, all-electric, zero-emission medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, is planning to deliver an additional 88 all-electric school buses to districts in West Virginia.
In January 2024, the EPA awarded an $18.6 million grant to GreenPower of West Virginia for the deployment of GreenPower's all-electric, purpose-built, zero-emission school buses in seven West Virginia counties. The grant includes funding for the charging infrastructure to ensure a proper charging strategy for the deployment.
“GreenPower is currently manufacturing all-electric, purpose-built school buses purchased by the state of West Virginia in its South Charleston plant,” said Fraser Atkinson, CEO of GreenPower. “Following behind that production are the school buses awarded to seven school districts in West Virginia under Round 2 of the EPA's Clean School Bus Program.”
