Rhea-AI Summary
Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) has placed the largest order of electric school buses from Blue Bird Corporation in its history, ordering 180 electric, zero-emission school buses. The shift to clean student transportation will help LAUSD realize its ambitious goals of reducing harmful greenhouse gas emissions while improving its operational efficiencies. The order includes 150 All American and 30 Vision model buses, with anticipated delivery starting in October 2024 and fulfillment in early 2025. The buses have a range of up to 130 miles on a single charge and come standard with vehicle-to-grid (V2G) capability, allowing LAUSD to potentially sell excess energy stored in school bus batteries back to electric power companies at a profit.
