One of the ways Infratil seeks to
identify and engage with technological change and disruption is through its investment in Clearvision Ventures. Clearvision invests out of Silicon Valley in early-stage companies, focusing on innovations in IoT, Big Data, Security Technology, and tech-enabled sustainable infrastructure.
One of these investments is Zūm. Zūm provides modern transportation solutions aimed at transforming school transportation.
..
Zūm is providing a fleet of 74 electric school buses and bidirectional chargers in Oakland, managed through its AI-enabled technology platform. The all-EV fleet will transport students sustainably and play a critical dual role as a Virtual Power Plant, giving 2.1 gigawatt hours of energy back to the grid annually.
While Infratil’s look-through investment in Zūm is modest, it is an investment that provides valuable access to the thinking and technology driving an emerging class of tech-enabled sustainable infrastructure.
