With at least two dozen manufacturers ready to serve the commercial vehicle market with electric trucks and chassis, fleets will soon be making tough decisions they never had to with ICE vehicles.
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.
With a capacity for 24 passengers and designed to hold enough battery charge for eight hours of service, trolleys electrified by Motiv are ideal for people moving services with predictable routes.
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.
Motiv Power Systems, delivering a software platform for the electrification of medium-duty trucks and buses, featured its new F-59 chassis at The Work Truck Show 2020.
