The Benefits of Choosing an Electrical Bus
As the planet turns toward more earth-friendly and sustainable options, electric vehicles are the undeniable wave of the future. There are, in fact, several advantages to making the switch to an electric school bus or shuttle.
Safety – Modernized safety updates in electrical bus construction include specialized packaging for the battery as well as a simpler overall vehicle design which results in fewer mechanical failures. The lack of noise pollution from the engine lends to quieter operation and less driver distraction. It’s easier for the driver to be aware of what is happening on the bus.
High Performance – Electrical vehicles have increased horsepower and acceleration capabilities. This can be a game changer for driving in harsher Canadian road conditions involving deep snow or soft backroads. The additional power will be noticeable when climbing hills.
Lower Maintenance – Electric bus owners enjoy fewer mechanical failures and service visits. With a simpler power system and fewer moving parts, cost of ownership decreases. Spend more time on the road and less in the shop.
Zero Emission – Designed for a sustainable environment, an electric bus is the perfect fit for a greener world. It’s emissions-free, noise pollution-free and fossil-fuel free. That goes a long way to help save the planet!
Cost Savings – Powering with electricity costs less than traditional fuels which helps offset the price difference of battery electric versus conventionally powered vehicles. Buses have regular scheduled routes that result in thousands of trips per year leading to significant fuel savings. And there’s downtime in between runs to refill with the convenience of on-site charging. As electric innovation continues, expect further improvements which will improve cost savings.
Forward Thinking – Electric vehicles are the future of transportation, and the public is increasingly recognizing the switch to electric vehicles as good practice. When you choose electric, you can be confident that you’re a part of the movement, and you’ll be able to advertise as such, strengthening your reputation along the way.
…and that’s just a few advantages! The list goes on; electric vehicles are quickly becoming the sensible choice to add to your fleet. Not only will they continue to be in greater demand in the coming years, they are indeed the future, and that future is coming sooner than most of us think. You are considering making a beneficial choice – and you’ve come to the right place.
