According to IC Bus, the new electric vehicle was designed to provide “an environmentally friendly school bus option that aims to lower the total cost of ownership (TCO) and offer user-friendly options and features with diesel-like performance.”
Navistar and Volkswagen Truck & Bus Group announced plans to develop an electric-powered, medium-duty vehicle for the U.S. and Canadian markets at the North American Commercial Vehicle Show in Atlanta in September.
The unveiling of the concept electric school bus will take place on Tuesday, Nov. 7, at 9:15 a.m. Eastern time at booth 619 in the NAPT trade show. The show will be held at the Greater Columbus (Ohio) Convention Center.
The unveiling, which will include remarks from Trish Reed, vice president and general manager of IC Bus, will be available for viewing via a live stream at www.facebook.com/icbus.
