Nuvve Holding and Blue Bird replace Martinsville ISD’s diesel fleet

Nuvve Holding (NVVE) and Blue Bird (BLBD) have replaced the Martinsville Independent School District’s, or ISD, diesel fleet with five Blue Bird Vision electric buses, five Nuvve Level II chargers and the innovative AI-powered Nuvve FleetBox 2.0 charge management software. Martinsville ISD Principal Keith Kimbrough commented: “We’re a small district but proud to be leading the way on sustainable and clean commutes for Texas school children.” Kimbrough secured a $1.58M Clean School Bus grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in October 2022 to help underwrite the project. He also partnered with Rush Truck Centers as dealer, Blue Bird for the fleet and Nuvve K-12 to consult and provide the right chargers and software for the district’s routes and daily charging needs.
