Electric school buses are a breath of fresh air for children | Nearly $1B in federal funding could help clean up the unequal health impacts of diesel pollution.::Nearly $1B in federal funding will help decarbonize transportation and clean up some of the unequal health impacts of diesel pollution
I remember the school buses in one high school I went to running on propane. It’s not as clean as electric, but it’s cleaner than diesel… and at the time, an electric school bus would have been expensive, if not outright science fiction.
Now that’s what I call “Propane Accessories”!
There were a number of electric busses in the early 1900s. There are plenty of large electric people and material movers. They’ve been used for a hundred years now for underground mining.
You mean trolley buses with overhead power lines? Doesn’t work so well for school routes that change.
No, battery powered.
So the range would have been laughable.
A bunch converted during the 70s oil embargo. I’m surprised it didn’t stick around
