Overview

Highland Electric Transportation offers a full-service transportation-as-a-service model in which the company owns, powers, and maintains electric vehicles for school districts and fleet managers. The company reduces complexity for customers by supplying vehicles, charging technology, and maintenance while enabling optimal charging and grid services. Highland already sells battery services into ISO-NE and plans to provide similar services to the PJM energy market. It plans to expand beyond school buses to electrify entire government fleets and is working on projects to electrify thousands of medium-duty vehicles, making it among the largest electric fleet owners. Highland is headquartered in Hamilton, Massachusetts and owns and operates American-made electric vehicles manufactured by Thomas Built Buses and powered by Proterra. The company recently raised $253 million of corporate equity to accelerate growth and continue fleet expansion. Leadership includes founder and CEO Duncan McIntyre and recent board additions tied to the financing.
