Four of the top fastest-growing private and municipal fleets leading fleet electrification are Penske Truck Leasing, Beaverton School District, Bimbo Bakeries USA, and Sysco. See my article on the EV Charging Summit & Expo blog: https://lnkd.in/gdjfy2eR I'm proud to announce this is my first article for the EV Charging Summit & Expo. EVinfo.net has been honored to be a marketing partner of the impressive event for several years now. Don't miss the next event, March 25-27, 2025 in Las Vegas. It's the largest and most exciting EV charging event in the nation. The Beaverton School District is leading the movement to switch to electric school buses in Oregon. BSD is Oregon’s third-largest school district, including 39,000 students. BSD has the state’s largest electric school bus fleet, with 28 electric buses. These zero-emissions buses account for almost 70% of the 42 electric school buses currently used for Oregon public schools. In 2021, BSD was the first school district in Oregon to purchase an electric school bus. BSD announced it received a grant from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) worth $20M for electric school buses, funding replacing 50 of the district’s 225 internal combustion engine (ICE) buses with new zero-emission electric school buses. EPA's Clean School Bus Program provides $5 billion over five years for school bus fleet electrification. Bimbo Bakeries USA placed a significant order with Harbinger Motors for electric platforms for its fleet. The order was part of a book of 4,000 binding pre-orders worth $400M. Harbinger is a Southern California-based electric truck manufacturer and a fairly new startup founded in 2021. Harbinger’s platform is also known as an electric vehicle stripped chassis. John Harris, CEO at Harbinger, spoke about the historic EV order by Bimbo. In June 2024, Sysco added ten new Freightliner eCascadia electric semi trucks to its Houston, Texas, truck fleet. Recently, Sysco announced a plan to deploy roughly 800 battery-electric Class 8 tractor-trailer trucks by 2026. The company signed a memorandum of intent with Daimler Truck North America (DTNA) to make the impressive all-electric addition to its fleet. In 2023, Sysco unveiled a first-of-its-kind Electric Vehicle Hub in Riverside, California. Also, in 2023, the company deployed 23 electric vehicles globally and added five electric refrigerated trailers. Sysco’s electric vehicle fleet currently has 120 electric trucks. The Penske Truck Leasing fleet has led the way for fleet electrification. It now includes a wide variety of electric trucks in all classes. The company announced additions of REE Automotive P7-C electric trucks. ForeFront Power and Penske Transportation Solutions formed Penske Energy, a joint venture, to provide fleet electrification assistance to customers.
