COLUMBUS, Ohio — Columbus’ Zenith Academy is one of the first to take advantage of grants through AEP Ohio and the Ohio EPA to bring an electric bus into their ranks.
“There’s not much of a difference between this bus and our diesel bus,” said Steve Thompson, an Electric Vehicle Specialist at Thomas Built Buses by Ohio CAT, a nationwide manufacturer of school buses.
Thompson said the the new generation of electric school buses are built to make tomorrow cleaner, greener and brighter.
