This bus looks like an electric Bluebird All-American but yet it has some IC switches and mirrors and Thomas seats. It's a tall bus but yet there's barely any headroom on the inside. It is pretty cool that you got to do a tour around it though.

This bus does look like a Blue Bird D3 or T3 RE. Even though it's more of an FE on the back. But I find it interesting that it is a Green Power. But looks like a Blue Bird more than a Thomas. I find it more interesting that it uses Thomas seats. So it kind of has a mix of each manufacturers. That font on the back door that says emergency door is a Thomas font.

These are made in Malaysia by Gemilang Coachworks. They were originally imported directly from Malaysia as CBU (complete built-up) buses but they set up an assembly facility in WV as a Buy America compliance loophole. The buses are still manufactured in Malaysia as CKD kits which are assembled into complete buses in the US. This might also explain why there are so many MAN parts because they have a longstanding business relationship with them.

I am not a fan of the design of the Beast. It honestly looks like a knockoff BlueBird D3/T3.

I actually sorta like the GreenPower Beast a bit. I love the interior but the outside needs more work. The rear windows need a change in design. Though, I dont think its a bad bus! It does look like a knock off D3 bus lol

The BEAST is here! I’m surprised that Cabell is getting 11 of these. Since the plant is around one mile from one of Kanawha County’s bus garage. I wouldn’t be surprised if we got those here too.

I spotted E1, 2 and 3 in Omps, WV charging in the state park last night. It was dark so I thought at first they were just All Americans without the black headlight surrounds. Cool to find out I saw something rare. I'm going back today to see if they're still there.

It looks like it should only be used for a transit bus or maybe an activity bus, looks unsafe too. It’s a huge ripoff of the D3 and T3.
