The transportation company announced its target to add 1,000 EVs to its fleet by 2025, reflecting its commitment to sustainable mobility and addressing the growing demand for environmentally-friendly transportation solutions. This strategic move aligns with Blue Bird's efforts to transition towards cleaner and more efficient transportation alternatives.
