GreenPower Motor Co. to Build EV Factory in New Mexico
SANTA TERESA, NM—GreenPower Motor Co., a Canadian manufacturer of electric school buses and Class 4 commercial vehicles, plans to build an assembly plant here. The new 135,000-square-foot facility will serve as the company’s base for North American operations.
“Establishing [our] new manufacturing facility in Santa Teresa marks a significant milestone in our expansion and commitment to safe, sensible, sustainable transportation,” says Fraser Atkinson, CEO of GreenPower. “This strategic move leverages the region’s highly skilled and dedicated workforce, which has long been recognized as a key driver of economic growth and innovation in southern New Mexico.”
According to Atkinson, Santa Teresa’s Foreign Trade Zone designation, which offers streamlined customs and other support to manufacturers, was a key factor in the company’s decision. The town is a suburb of El Paso, TX, that is located just north of the Mexican border.
