Zenobē offers a turnkey fleet-as-a-service package that enables customers to electrify their vehicle fleets for a fixed fee. The company specializes in deploying second-life EV batteries that can generate revenue and help fleet customers to finance their EV projects. (See our in-depth interview with Zenobē co-founder and Director Steven Meersman, published in May 2025.)
Zenobē recently worked with NRT Bus to deploy 25 new electric school buses and 10 minibuses, along with the necessary charging infrastructure, for Lawrence Public Schools in Massachusetts. The buses are based in Methuen, and were placed in service for the 2025 school year.
The charging site, which was completed last summer, is served by National Grid and Liberty Utilities.
“At National Grid, we believe fleet electrification is a key component of building a sustainable and diversified energy future,” said Jake Navarro, Director of Clean Transportation, National Grid. “We’re proud to collaborate with a range of stakeholders to modernize our energy infrastructure.”
“As part of our ongoing commitment to reduce emissions and promote cleaner air for our students and schools, we are thrilled to announce the launch of this charging site to support our new electric fleet for Lawrence Public Schools,” said Scott Sheridan, Senior Vice President of NRT Bus.
