How does the pricing and profit margin compare to competitors like Thomas Built Buses, Gillig, and other EV bus manufacturers?

The article you referenced provides details only about the delivery of 25 electric school buses by Blue Bird Corporation to the Little Rock School District and does not contain any information on pricing, cost structures, or profit margins—either for Blue Bird’s electric‑bus line or for its competitors such as Thomas Built Buses, Gillig, or other electric‑bus manufacturers.

Because the news release does not discuss:

• The unit price or total contract value for the 25‑bus purchase,
• Blue Bird’s cost basis, margins, or profitability metrics for its electric‑bus segment,
• Comparative pricing or profitability data for rival manufacturers,

it is not possible to directly compare Blue Bird’s pricing or profit margins to those of Thomas Built Buses, Gillig, or other EV bus makers based on the information provided.

If you have access to additional details—such as the purchase price, Blue Bird’s disclosed margins, or comparable data from the competitors—those would be necessary to perform a meaningful comparison. Otherwise, the news article itself does not supply the data required to answer the question.
