Thomas Built Buses recognized its top North America bus dealers during an awards program in San Antonio, Texas.
Kevin Bangston, the president and CEO of Thomas Built Buses, now also serves in that capacity over Freightliner Custom Chassis Corporation. He succeeds Jeff Sather in that role.
Since the program launched in 2019, it is among the largest utility-led electric school bus initiatives in the United States, with a fleet of more than 135 electric school buses operating in 25 Virginia school districts.
The North Carolina-based bus manufacturer delivered that bus as part of a larger order to Georgia’s Meriwether County School System.
The North Carolina-based school bus manufacturer has sustained its high Net Promoter Score (NPS) rating for nearly a decade.
The partnership formed between Accelera by Cummins, Daimler Truck, and PACCAR plans to bring 2,000 manufacturing jobs to Marshall County.
Thomas Built received the recognition from the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality during the annual Environmental Stewardship Initiative Conference.
The dealers are branches of First Truck Centre in British Columbia.
Accelera by Cummins, Daimler Trucks, and PACCAR are joining forces to create a 21-gigawatt hour (GWh) EV battery factory in the United States. If the partnership is approved, production might begin in 2027.
