 Azure Dynamics & Ford Canada Name FleetWise EV300 as Transit Connect Electric LEAD Customer
Azure Dynamics and Ford of Canada said the Toronto Atmospheric Fund’s FleetWise EV300 Initiative has been added to the LEAD customer program for the Ford Transit Connect Electric commercial van with a 12-unit order. As a LEAD customer, FleetWise EV300 will receive one of the Transit Connect Electric vehicles in late 2010, the rest in 2011.
The FleetWise EV300 initiative aims to put at least 300 electric vehicles on GTA roads by 2012. Participating in the EV300 initiative allows public/private fleets, local electricity distribution companies/municipal partners to access electric vehicles, secure servicing/technical support, establish charging infrastructure, better understand vehicle-grid integration, monitor performance, and advance EV-friendly policies.
Toronto is committed to lowering emissions of greenhouse gases by 6% below 2009 levels by 2012, and lowering emissions of smog-causing pollutants by 20% below 2004 levels also by 2012.
