(Photo: Business Wire)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nU.S. and Canadian school districts are increasingly transitioning their bus fleets to electric, zero-emission vehicles to reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions, improve student and community health, and save on rising fuel costs. School districts continue to benefit from significant public funding sources to accelerate the adoption of electric school buses and the supporting charging infrastructure. Presently, there are more than $10 billion in federal, state, provincial, and local funding earmarked for zero- and low-emission school buses. This includes the Biden Administration\u2019s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), which provides a total of $5 billion over five years for clean school bus transportation.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cBased on the historic Bipartisan Infrastructure Law alone we anticipate thousands of additional electric school bus orders valued at an estimated $1 billion over five years,\u201d said Phil Horlock, president and CEO of Blue Bird Corporation. \u201cOur new EV Build-up Center reflects Blue Bird\u2019s steadfast commitment to school districts across the U.S. and Canada to meet increasing demand and deliver clean, safe, and reliable student transportation when they need it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nThe U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) anticipates that 30 percent of all model year 2027 school buses will be electric-powered. This figure is projected to increase to 45 percent for model year 2032 school buses, according to the EPA\u2019s newly proposed greenhouse gas emissions standards for heavy-duty vehicles. Blue Bird\u2019s EV Build-up Center will enable the company to increase its long-term production capacity to 5,000 electric school buses a year.<\/p>\n<p>\nBlue Bird\u2019s EV Build-up Center is part of a multi-million dollar investment in the upgrade of Blue Bird\u2019s Fort Valley, Ga., manufacturing site. The new facility will feature a dedicated assembly line for electric school buses. Highly-trained technicians will install electric batteries and other components to turn the vehicles into emission-free electric school buses.<\/p>\n<p>\nBlue Bird remains the proven clean transportation leader with nearly 1,000 electric-powered, zero-emission school buses in operation today.
