ITLC Instructional Designer Brandon Liu, who works on ZEV-related training issues and who organized the trip noted, “The Brookville bus charging depot is an excellent and state-of-the-art facility in terms of zero-emission technology integration for its fleet. We are very excited to have Montgomery County nearby as it continues leading the charge to implement current and future zero-emission vehicles, technology, and infrastructure.”
