Repowering existing school buses with a new electric drivetrain shows promise to provide school bus operators with a lower cost and more sustainable vehicle compared to buying a brand-new electric school bus.
The emissions benefits of repowers also go beyond vehicle operation. When repowers result in an extended life of a bus’s chassis and bus body, they may be responsible for even lower manufacturing-related carbon dioxide emissions than newly-manufactured electric school buses. For every school bus chassis and body that is reused, it reduces the need to manufacture a new bus.
Repowered school buses are typically built with a similar electric drive system to new electric school buses and often use the same suppliers for battery packs and other components. The key difference is repowers do not use a brand-new chassis and body and instead take advantage of an existing bus from a fleet or dealer. The most complex part of school bus repowering is ensuring the new electric powertrain system seamlessly integrates with existing systems in the bus chassis and body .
