PLYMOUTH, Mich. — Pareto Mobility LLC announced the opening of its 50,000-square-foot manufacturing and assembly facility at the Burroughs campus in Plymouth, Michigan. Led by first-generation immigrant and inventor AJ Kumar, the facility brings commercial bus manufacturing back to Michigan five years after Champion Bus ceased operations in the state in 2021.
The facility will manufacture Pareto Mobility’s Step-Free™, America’s first fully flat, low-floor commercial bus, designed to make accessible transportation safer, more convenient, and more affordable for transit agencies, senior-living communities, healthcare providers, and shuttle operators.

Michigan gave me the opportunity to develop new technologies, create businesses, generate jobs, and manufacture innovative vehicles.”…
