Die Herausforderung
Powering Fleets with Reliable Charging
First Student, North America’s largest transportation provider with over 45,000 buses across the U.S. and Canada, is leading the transition to electrified fleets to deliver safe, reliable, and sustainable transportation for students and communities. To meet the demands of school transportation, First Student must maintain low fuel costs, high vehicle availability, and depot turnaround times equivalent to those of combustion vehicles, making the need for a top-tier, reliable platform essential to its mission. In 2024, the company selected Ampcontrol’s software and energy management platform to monitor, optimize, and scale electric bus operations across all its sites.
