Unique Electric Solutions (UES) is excited to announce the commencement of a groundbreaking project to convert a 2016 Blue Bird School bus from diesel to electric for the Beaverton School District. This transformative initiative is being carried out with the invaluable support of FORTH Mobility, marking a significant step towards sustainable and cleaner transportation in the community.
This conversion project underscores UES's commitment to environmental stewardship and innovative technological solutions. By transitioning the school bus to electric power, the Beaverton School District aims to reduce emissions, lower operational costs, and promote a healthier environment for students and the community at large.
"We are thrilled to partner with the Beaverton School District and FORTH Mobility on this pioneering project," said Joe Ambrosio, President and CEO at Unique Electric Solutions. "This conversion represents a tangible step towards a greener future, showcasing the potential of electric vehicles in improving public transportation and reducing our carbon footprint."
One of the significant benefits of repowering a vehicle that is in generally good shape, such as this 2016 Blue Bird School bus, is avoiding unnecessary scrappage. By converting instead of replacing, we maximize the use of existing resources and reduce waste, further contributing to environmental sustainability.
The conversion process will employ cutting-edge technology and expertise to ensure the highest standards of performance, safety, and reliability. The project exemplifies the collaborative efforts of UES and FORTH Mobility to drive innovation and sustainability in the transportation sector.
FORTH Mobility, a leader in advancing electric and smart transportation, is providing crucial support for this initiative. Their expertise and resources are instrumental in facilitating the successful execution of this project, highlighting the importance of partnerships in achieving environmental goals. This project aligns with FORTH mission to promote electric mobility and foster sustainable communities and will serve as a model for similar initiatives nationwide.
As the project progresses, UES will provide regular updates, showcasing key milestones and the benefits of the electric bus conversion. This initiative is expected to inspire similar projects across the region and beyond, demonstrating the feasibility and advantages of electric vehicles in various applications.
