The North American Daimler( the parent company of Mercedes-Benz) subsidiary ,Thomas Built Buses introduced its first all-electric school bus for series production. Starting in 2019, the “ Saf-T-Liner C2 Electric Bus“ or short „Jouley“ will drive up to 81 kids all over America to school – safely, quietly and emission-free.

The 160kWh battery provides a range of up to 160 kilometers. Additional battery packs are optional and offer a higher range.

Thomas Built Buses was founded in 1916 and is world renowned for its legendary yellow school buses from films and television. With a market share of 38.7 percent Thomas Built Buses is the leading manufacturer of school buses in North America .

Its surprising that school buses have not gone fully electric ,considering the little distance they cover most of the time .Let’s hope to see more of this soon.
