An electric school bus developed by Azure Dynamics Incorporated, Blue Bird, the New York Power Authority (NYPA), and the New York City Department of Transportation, completed over 70 miles on one charge of its lead acid battery pack, taking top honors in the heavy-duty vehicle category.

ISO 9001:2000 Certification

Azure Dynamics' Canadian facility in Burnaby, British Columbia became certified to the ISO 9001:2000 Quality Management System standard by BSI Management Systems on November 1, 2007. Our Woburn, Massachusetts facility has been certified to ISO 9001:2000 by TUV America since October of 2003.

The certification of compliance to ISO 9001:2000 recognizes that the policies, practices and procedures of the Company ensure consistent quality in the products and services provided to the customer. Certification to ISO 9001:2000 requires a stringent evaluation process including the development of a quality management system, a formalized review of the related documentation, a pre-audit, an initial assessment and clearance of all non-conformances. These steps are intended to identify corrective actions that eliminate non-conformance to the quality management standard.
