Halley also leads the company's alternative fuel program, working closely with manufacturing and energy partners to expand the company's Green Fleet of lower-emission vehicles. With electric fleets planned for urban, suburban, and rural areas, this information will give the company actionable intelligence into the performance of electric vehicles in distinct operating environments. The project is being led by 45-year industry veteran Ron Halley, who serves as the Vice President of Fleet and Facilities.Īs part of the electric vehicle pilot program, Halley's team is tracking battery life, monitoring component life, and collecting other key data. STA currently runs an electric vehicle pilot program in the United States with electric buses either deployed or planned for deployment in select markets, including Los Angeles, CA, Trenton, NJ, Barre, VT, and others. If funding is approved and Canadian school boards opt to pursue the electric buses, STC would become the largest operator of zero-emission school buses in North America. This ambitious program, carried out thanks to Lion, the Quebec leader in electric transport, fits perfectly into our climate strategy, and will directly contribute to our commitment to reduce the carbon intensity of our portfolio by 60% by 2030," said Emmanuel Jaclot, Executive Vice-President and Head of Infrastructure at CDPQ. Driving the next generation to their place of learning in electric transport is a good illustration of our vision for a more sustainable future. "As the controlling shareholder of Student Transportation, we are delighted to support the company in its green shift, with the deployment of a fleet that would make it the largest operator of zero-emission school busses in North America.
We look forward to working with government leaders, our majority shareholder CDPQ and our customers in the coming weeks and hope that our collaboration can make incorporating electric buses into fleets a reality," said Vaughan.
Electric buses are a great step toward this objective. "STC recognizes how imperative it is to be a global steward in reducing emissions and minimizing the environmental impact of our services.
