GreenPower Motor Company designs and sells all-electric, zero-emission medium and heavy-duty commercial vehicles, with a primary focus on electric school buses. GreenPower's school bus lineup includes the BEAST (a heavy-duty Type D bus), the Mega BEAST (extended-range variant), and the Nano BEAST (a smaller Type A bus). These buses use a purpose-built composite monocoque structure that integrates the body and chassis, which GreenPower argues gives them advantages in strength, weight, and interior space over conventional designs. GreenPower's secondary product line is the EV Star, a Class 4 commercial vehicle platform available in configurations for passenger transport, cargo delivery, refrigerated freight, and vocational uses. GreenPower sells vehicles directly in Canada and through a dealer network in the U.S., with customers including school districts, public transit agencies, municipalities, universities, and commercial fleet operators. The company manufactures at two facilities — in Riverside, CA and South Charleston, WV — and sources battery packs, drivetrains, and other components from third-party suppliers. Revenue is driven primarily by vehicle sales, with profitability heavily dependent on unit volume and overhead absorption across its plants. Government incentive programs are critical to funding customer purchases. GreenPower also generates tradable regulatory credits under California and EPA zero-emission vehicle programs, which management views as a potential additional revenue stream.
