Electric School Bus Conversions
Advantages to repowering your fleet
The economics of making the transition to an EV fleet can be complex. Even though new electric buses have lower operating costs than old gas and diesel buses, fleet managers can’t retire vehicles overnight. Also, current OEM offerings for new electric school buses remain very limited and costly. But, there is a different solution… re-powering your current buses.
With our uniqueEV® platform, it is possible to re-power existing Type A-D buses into clean, efficient electric powered buses. Electric school bus conversions offer a lower-cost and less disruptive path to an electric powered fleet than buying new.
Field tested, economical and flexible
The uniqueEV® platform is designed for student and passenger transport, both urban and rural. The core system features a high-torque electric motor with safe batteries optimized for the duty cycle of electric school buses. Our flexible open architecture enables us to configure lithium-ion battery packs, onboard AC and optional DC charging, and fuel-cell range extenders to optimize vehicle range for a variety of duty cycles.
Affordable
