Stakeholder Spotlight: Model1

October 31, 2024

Drive Clean Colorado is excited to feature one of our members, Model1, formerly known as Creative Bus Sales. Model1 is a leading distributor of commercial vehicles across North America, offering a range of buses, trucks, and vans, including electric and alternative fuel options that emphasize sustainable transportation. They also provide customized solutions, maintenance, and fleet management support to help organizations meet their diverse transportation needs. We look forward to collaborating with Model1 to promote sustainable transportation solutions across Colorado!

We had the chance to speak with Jon Kibble, Model1’s Commercial Business Development Manager and an EV owner and enthusiast. When asked about partnering with Drive Clean Colorado, Jon shared, “DCC has a strong alliance that will help Model1 and myself be a part of amazing opportunities to educate and collaborate with other like-minded individuals to further expand the current transportation industry needs.”

Can you provide a brief overview of Model1
Model 1 is the blueprint for creative commercial vehicle solutions, setting the example the industry follows with a drive for continual improvement and innovation. When you’re looking for a transit solution, you want it from a company that already has the answers. That’s why we thrive in finding creative solutions – and where they don’t exist, we help create them. Because when we see an opportunity up ahead, we’re the first to go after it. Let’s move the transportation industry into the future. Together.

Please give us an introduction to your role at Model1
I am an EV owner and enthusiast. Currently my wife and I both have EV’s and we absolutely love them! As the Commercial Business Development Manager at Model 1 Commercial Vehicles, I assist people in finding solutions for their commercial transportation needs in many different industries across Colorado and Wyoming. I look for opportunities to help my customers save money both during the purchase process and while the unit is in service.

What are the next steps for you in the clean transportation industry?
I am constantly learning about new information about the EV and alternative fuel industry to remain knowledgeable when trying to help my customers to make the right vehicle purchase decision with an unbiased perspective. I will continue educating myself as I feel the technology will continue to grow and evolve quickly as we move forward in the transportation industry.

What are you most excited about partnering with DCC and how will this help you work toward your goals?
I am extremely excited to partner with DCC as I am an EV owner and truly believe in contributing to a cleaner future for my kids. I love technology and want to help promote alternative transportation options that will help people maximize efficiency and save money for their organizations. I feel DCC is a strong alliance that will help Model 1 and myself to be a part of some amazing opportunities to educate others and to be around like-minded individuals looking for new ideas to further expand the current transportation industry needs.
