Freightliner Custom Chassis Corp. (FCCC) and Enova Systems Inc., a developer of hybrid-electric and all-electric drive systems, have introduced the Green for Free program, which enables fleet managers to purchase all-electric vehicles for the cost of a diesel-powered commercial vehicle.
‘We want to help those fleets interested in reducing their energy consumption and environmental impact by enabling them to purchase more alternative-fuel vehicles at one time because of the reduced up-front costs,’ says Bob Harbin, FCCC president.
The companies say the savings fleets incur from the reduced maintenance and fuel savings of the EVs can be used over a period of time to cover the incremental expense for the technology. The program will use the FCCC All-Electric Walk-in Van chassis powered by the Enova drive system.
