And, with new mandates on the horizon, you can count on Sprague to support your transition to electric vehicles.

Upcoming Mandates

The push for cleaner air and sustainable transportation is accelerating, and New York is leading the way with ambitious new regulations for school bus fleets.

  • Starting in 2027: All new school buses purchased must be zero-emissions vehicles, signaling a shift toward cleaner transportation.
  • By 2035: The mandate will extend to all new and existing school buses requiring full fleet electrification to meet zero-emissions standards.

These regulations are designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve air quality, and protect the health of children and communities. Transitioning to electric school buses (ESB) not only ensures compliance but also positions fleets to take advantage of funding incentives.

Our Legacy of Cleaner Fuel Solutions in NY

Sprague has long been at the forefront of sustainable energy innovation in New York, delivering cleaner fuel options that make a real impact:

  • Pioneering Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD): We commercialized ULSD nearly 25 years ago, long before it became an EPA mandate, improving air quality for New Yorkers.
  • Nation’s First Certified BQ-9000 Terminal Marketer: In 2006, Sprague earned this distinction for biodiesel offerings, a testament to our commitment to cleaner, renewable fuels.

Leading the Charge for Renewable Energy

Sprague continues to set the standard for clean energy in New York:

  • Retail Renewable Diesel Stations: We celebrated the opening of the first retail station in the Bronx offering renewable diesel (RD), a sustainable, low-carbon fuel alternative. This milestone builds on our earlier launch of New York’s first RD station in Brooklyn.
  • Partnering with NY for Cleaner Air: Our collaborations with organizations like the New York League of Conservation Voters (NYLCV) highlight our shared mission of creating cleaner, healthier communities.
