  After four and a half years traveling coast to coast selling BEV school buses, transit buses, and commercial trucks and vans, I'm back in the yellow school bus industry! Yellow blood always seems to rise to the top, and it's good to be back in Southern California selling Thomas school buses. I cover Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego, San Bernardino, Riverside, Imperial, and Ventura counties. Please give me a call or text at 714-321-0952 and let's catch up!

  • Feb 2017 - Oct 2020

  The future is here, and it is zero emissions! After over eleven years at the one of the top school bus dealerships in the country, I made the move in 2017 to focus on zero emissions vehicles. We had a blast working with Blue Bird on ZEV powertrain solutions for their school buses that keep our kids safe, all equipped with new zero emissions technology to keep the air clean, and now it's time to spread the net further! The plan was always to expand our sales efforts and promote Class 3 to 6 commercial fleet truck and van product lines. ADOMANI [OTCQB: ADOM] provides complete zero emission electric vehicle solutions to all types of public and private medium to heavy- duty fleet operators. By delivering value on the total cost of ownership (TCO), ADOMANI, Inc. helps commercial vehicles run clean and save green. Our team's combined decades of experience working with school districts and government entities makes us unique. We already know that schools and private fleets nationwide face major challenges with funding, so we help support them by working with government entities at all levels, local, state, and federal, to assist school districts, government entities, and private fleet operators in getting grant funding to purchase Class 3 to 6 electric commercial trucks and vans. We also work with PUC's and IOU's to help with funding on the infrastructure side in addition to vehicle acquisition funding. That's what real dealer partnership experience gets you, and we have many years of experience in bringing all the stakeholders together to successfully drive towards zero emissions fleet solutions. ADOMANI [OTCQB:ADOM] will continue to increase our portfolio of ZEV solutions available to all fleets and industries so that we can help everyone attain their goals to have reduced, and ultimately zero, emissions from their fleets.
