While diesel and gasoline engines will still be the main power source for commercial vehicles for the next decade, fleets are now testing and buying sustainable vehicle technologies in record numbers. That’s according to a new study of fleet use of sustainable vehicle platforms for medium- and heavy-duty fleets, such as natural gas, propane, electric, and renewable fuels.
In the last two years, NYC Fleet has implemented a project to test the effectiveness, longevity, and performance of tires made substantially of soybean oil.
In its annual sustainability report, General Motors outlines its electrification and mobility initiatives as well as a previously unannounced electric full-size pickup.
“Diesel will be here for a long while, and [knowing] total cost of ownership remains the main motivator of acceptance for battery-electric and fuel-cell trucks.” That was the message of Sean Waters, Daimler Trucks North America’s vice president of Product Compliance and Regulatory Affairs, speaking at the Green Truck Summit.
Michelin and General Motors presented a new generation of airless wheel technology for passenger vehicles — the Michelin Uptis (or Unique Puncture-proof Tire System) prototype — at a sustainable mobility event.
New Jersey City University’s Department of Facilities and Construction Management completed the capital purchase of three electric vehicles.
Commercial fleets with a sustainability mission or government fleets with green vehicle mandates turn to electrified vehicles to meet their mission. Here's a closer look at the battery-electric vehicles available in the 2019 model year.
Alliance Autogas will eventually offer a propane autogas-fueled 2017 Ford Fusion midsize sedan to fleet buyers, following the company's debut of the vehicle at a sustainability conference in North Carolina.
ROUSH CleanTech will offer a Ford F-650 medium-duty truck that's powered solely by a battery-electric powertrain, the vehicle modifier announced.
There is a shift away from internal combustion engines and toward electric powertrain engines. How can fleets and automotive students prepare for this change?
