GreenPower Motors recently announced its plans to manufacture zero-emission all-electric school buses in West Virginia.
its plans to manufacture zero-emission all-electric school buses in West Virginia, and CEO Fraser Atkinson took the time to sit down with me and share some details of this plan and also what inspired him to found GreenPower.
“Of all of this stuff as a group, what did we think could be the most transformative? Like, what could blow up in the industry and collectively. And then we all said, battery-electric. But back ten years ago it didn’t make economic sense.
The next question I asked was a general goal-oriented question. I asked it for two reasons. One is that diesel buses are incredibly bad for those riding in them. Another reason was because theses types of goal-oriented questions, I feel, are inspiring. They are challenging to answer but the answer itself is the source of inspiration.
“Also, in terms of doing multiple shifts, we see a path that in three or four years we could be building a thousands vehicles a year. That’s kind of what I would call mid term long term goal.”
