LOS
ANGELES, Dec. 19, 2024 /CNW/ -- GreenPower
Motor Company Inc. (NASDAQ: GP) (TSXV: GPV) ("GreenPower"), a
leading manufacturer and distributor of purpose-built,
all-electric, zero-emission medium and heavy-duty vehicles serving
the cargo and delivery market, shuttle and transit space and school
bus sector, today announced the company has received three orders
for 11 Type D all-electric, purpose-built, zero-emission BEAST
school buses for school districts in Arizona, California and Oregon.
"As school districts continue to make the change from NOx
emitting diesel school buses to a cleaner, healthier means of
transporting students, school district transportation departments
are pursuing the gold standard of the industry – the GreenPower
all-electric, purpose-built BEAST and Nano BEAST school buses,"
said Paul Start, GreenPower's Vice
President of Sales – School Bus Group. "With 2025 fast approaching,
the GreenPower school bus order pipeline and production schedule
are both at record levels with sales projections for next year set
to eclipse the 2024 calendar year."
The three orders announced today are:
- From GreenPower's exclusive California dealer Model 1 for seven BEASTs for
the Los Banos Unified School District in Los Banos, California.
- From GreenPower's exclusive Arizona dealer RWC Group for two BEASTs for
the Casa Grande Elementary School District in Casa Grande, Arizona.
- From GreenPower's exclusive Oregon dealer Peterson
Trucks for two BEASTs for the Hood
River County School District in Hood River, Oregon.
GreenPower's BEAST is a purpose-built 40-foot Type D
all-electric, zero-emission school bus with seating for up to 90
students. Designed from the ground up as an EV, it is a fully
integrated structure that features a strong and corrosion resistant
aluminum body made from extruded aluminum, manufactured by
Constellium, seamlessly mated to a high strength steel Truss (bus)
chassis. The complete flat floor design allows for adjustable track
seating with no wheel wells in the passenger compartment, and the
high floor keeps students out of the impact zone. Combined port
charging is standard with Level 2 rates up to 19.2 kW and DC Fast
Charging rates up to 85 kW, allowing for full charging in less than
three hours.
