Daimler’s All-Electric School Bus Is Coming To The United States In 2019

It appears electric vehicles of all shapes and sizes will soon be the norm.

Daimler, the parent company of Mercedes-Benz, has developed an all-electric school bus, which is scheduled to be distributed in the United States in 2019.

The Saf-T-Liner C2 Electric Bus from Daimler subsidiary Thomas Built Buses will feature a range of 100 miles, capable of seating 81 children and powered by a 60kWh battery.

If operators want a higher range for the “Jouley” bus, there will be additional battery pack options available courtesy of Daimler’s electric technology.

At the moment, it is estimated Daimler’s Thomas Built Buses hold a whopping 38.7 percent market share in the US, meaning the Jouley is quite literally the future of school buses.
