The new 18-foot electric delivery trucks and electric–cargo bikes (e-bikes) expand Purolator’s fleet of innovative eco-friendly vehicles already in use on the streets of Montreal and Toronto.
As more companies aim to minimize their carbon footprint and increase sustainability initiatives, work truck fleets turn to electric vehicles to get the job done.
PASADENA, CA – The fleets are members of the Hybrid, Electric and Advanced Truck Users Forum (HTUF) Parcel Delivery Working Group and each purchased an evaluation vehicle with assistance from CALSTART and the U.S. Department of Energy.
PASADENA, CA – A government-corporate partnership led by CALSTART has selected a Michigan firm to build three identical hydraulic hybrid delivery trucks for real-world testing by UPS, FedEx Ground, and Purolator.
CANADA – Fleet operators in Canada’s courier industry are increasingly using electric vehicles. The Purolator Quicksider operates 10 hours a day in downtown Toronto, delivering about 220 packages and parcels with zero greenhouse-gas emissions.
Urban package delivery routes usually include lots of stops and starts, but require relatively little long-range driving. Purolator Courier is developing the Quicksider EV, an electric green solution.
