The Importance of Electrifying Municipal Vehicles

Clean Fleet Report

A report from the Arizona Public Interest Research Group (PIRG) found that switching to electric fleets could save $14 million in pollution-related expenses over the lifetime of the municipal vehicles—and that’s just in Arizona. That makes them much better for the environment than traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles.
