Green Power Motor Company Inc. (GreenPower) announced the appointment of Wolfington Body Company as its exclusive school bus dealer in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware and as a dealer for its Class 4 commercial line of EV trucks and vans in those states.
As part of the appointment Wolfington has purchased a Type A Nano BEAST Access school bus, a Type D BEAST school bus, an EV Star Passenger Van and an E Star Stakebead Truck to serve as demo units in the region.
Wolfington also announced it has received an order for seven GreenPower Type A Nano BEAST school buses for a local school district in New Jersey.
“Wolfington Body Company is a fifth-generation family-owned business that has been serving the transportation industry since 1876,” said GreenPower President Brendan Riley. “In addition to selling school buses and commercial vehicles, Wolfington is equipped with complete mechanical services and body shops to handle a vehicle’s entire lifecycle. Their parts department supplies thousands of parts with same-day delivery available in most areas. We are thrilled to welcome this superior dealer to the GreenPower network.”
Joining Wolfington and GreenPower at the announcement were state AssemblyWoman Andra Katz and Hainesport Mayor Leila Gilmore, both of whom praised the new partnership and its benefits.
“This type of news is exactly what I’m working toward in Trenton. Hainesport will benefit from this economically and each of us will breathe cleaner air,” Katz said. “School buses are an ideal use of EV technology and to know that the children at Burlington County Special Services School District will be among the first to benefit from this partnership is exceptional.”
Wolfington got started building horse drawn carriages that could hold up to heavy usage. Since then they have continued to adapt to changing technologies and are now shifting their focus to electric vehicles.
