We sit down to talk with John Walsh, former VP at Proterra and now ZEV Consultant, and Jeff Madura, Director of Public Sales for VanHool North America. With decades of experience in manufacturing and sales between them, this conversation went through ways to streamline and reduce costs of ZEBs, the needs for Workforce Development, and the adaptation OEMs have had to do within the ever-changing market.

The amount of delays, increased costs, and overall price increases from this practice are something that many have pointed to as a barrier to cost reduction and something the Federal Transit Administration should take notice.
