New York City is the first in the nation to equip 50 city fleet vehicles with telematics technology that keeps them moving at the appropriate speed and no faster.
The electric rear loader trucks in the New York City Sanitation Department's fleet don't have the range necessary to complete the needed work in a single charge, the sanitation commissioner said.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, New York City, the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs, and the U.S. Army, will use Beam's EV ARC charging systems at various locations across the country and in Puerto Rico.
The intelligent speed assistance pilot program utilizes technology to prevent speeding and adjust vehicles' max speeds based on the changing speed limits.
Telematics systems can seem overwhelming, but when put to good use, they can lead to more efficient operations, and cost savings. Four fleet managers shared their success stories at the 2022 Government Fleet Expo & Conference.
Keeping the nation's largest municipal fleet fueled cost the city a projected $81.8 million for the 2022 fiscal year.
The city's previous contractor argues it was not made aware of a new contract DCAS was working on for 10 months. It also argues the new contract will cost the city $6 million more.
The New York City fleet will be reduced by at least 855 vehicles in an effort to save taxpayer dollars and reduce carbon emissions.
The charging stations are expected to be installed by December 2023. This is part of a long-term plan to have 1,776 EV fast chargers operational by 2030.
