School Buses

Photo collage of school buses.

School buses are an ideal application for alternative fuel and advanced vehicle technologies. They operate on predictable routes, practice centralized maintenance and fueling, and transport millions of students to and from school each day—kids who can benefit from the cleaner emissions alternative fuels and advanced vehicle technologies offer. These technologies are successfully used in more than 2,500 vehicles in school districts across the country.
