The pioneer of the electrification-as-a-service model, Highland Electric Fleets is the leading provider of electric school buses to districts, communities and states across North America. Today, Highland is spearheading the use of the private-public partnership model to bring electric school buses to students and communities across North America.

Active in 30 US states and Canada, Highland has over 470 buses under contract across 17 projects, with new contracts being announced each month. As part of its proven private-public partnership model, Highland has secured EPA Clean School Bus Funding for numerous rural and low-income districts to electrify their school bus fleets. In recognition of their success, the Biden Administration tapped Highland to partake in the White House’s EV Acceleration Challenge and help 1,000 US school districts improve student and community health by electrifying their school bus fleets by 2030.

In 2022, Highland was featured in over 1,000 top-tier business, finance, technology and trade publications, including Reuters, The Washington Post, Bloomberg and MarketWatch, as well as broadcast and radio outlets including CNBC, Bloomberg Radio and NPR and podcasts including Volts and Automotive Leaders.

Additionally, Highland was selected as the gold winner in the 2022 Cleanie Awards’ Pioneer in New Technology category and has been shortlisted for Reuters’ 2023 Responsible Business Awards.

Over a 12-month period of managing Highland’s social channels, including LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter, MC2 grew Highland’s LinkedIn followers from just under 1,200 followers to over 5,000.

Highland’s executive leadership team has become industry thought leaders in V2G, VPP and fleet electrification, and has been selected to speak at national conferences on electrification, electric vehicles, grid resilience and community resilience.
