Colorado Welcomes Its First Electric School Bus

March 12, 2021by cowest

It was an exciting day last week as Colorado/West Equipment, Inc delivered the very first Electric School bus in Colorado to the Boulder Valley School District.  The district has been anxiously awaiting this day and planned a fun, socially-distanced gathering to debut their new Blue Bird Electric bus, complete with a bow.

Adding this zero-emissions school bus to their fleet not only provides a clean, efficient, and environmentally sustainable large capacity school bus, but will also provide for easy maintenance because it does not require typical oil changes, fuel or air filters, transmission service, or additional fluids. Requiring only coolant, allows for budget savings for the district.

In addition to these savings, the purchase of this bus was made possible with federal funds through the ALT Fuels Colorado program of the Regional Air Quality Council, as well as the district’s level two charging station.
