All new equipment being procured will be more efficient, using less gasoline or diesel compared to the current
vehicles being replaced. This will be achieved through the following strategies:
•Hybrids
•Right-sizing
This request will also allow the transition of 10 gasoline-powered fleet vehicles to become electric vehicles
(EVs). This change is expected to save 6,157 gallons of gasoline annually and reduce carbon dioxide (CO2)
emissions by 54.7 metric tons per year.
Additionally, this request includes replacing 9 pieces of obsolete EV fleet equipment with new electric Fleet
equipment, including forklifts, scooters, and scissor lifts.
