Bimbo Bakeries has renewed its partnership with Motiv Power Systems with a follow-up order of 100 electric walk-in vans after a successful year-long pilot program.
The electric trucks will be deployed in greater Sacramento to provide home energy audits, weatherization, and HVAC services to low-income residents in an area where air quality is some of the worst in the country.
Based on Motiv's EPIC F-59 chassis, during the more 275,000 emission-free miles, the vans have saved Aramark more than $100,000 in fuel and maintenance costs, and are currently operating at a 99% uptime.
The university expects to save nearly $750,000 with its new battery-electric mobile surgical instrument lab (eMSIL) instead of contracting a third party.
Motiv, provider of all-electric medium-duty fleet chassis, announced that its chairman of the board and board member for more than two years, Matt O'Leary, has been appointed as CEO.
This year, Los Angeles County will expand its zero-emission fleet with two bookmobiles powered by Motiv EPIC chassis.
Seven months after we were teased with a ghostly image of Tesla's ersatz electric semi, we still don't know anything substantive about it. Maybe that's all we need to know, says Jim Park in his On the Road blog.
As of October, Motiv-powered vehicles have driven more than 275,000 miles. In 2017 alone, they have covered more than 83,000 miles, saving nearly 300 barrels of oil from consumption.
All-electric refuse trucks will bring a whole new level of “clean” to the Windy City.
