Phoenix Motorcars delivers all-electric service truck to school district

Phoenix Motor Inc., a leader in manufacturing of all-electric, medium-duty vehicles, recently delivered an all-electric, zero-emission service truck to the San Bernardino City Unified School District. The electric service truck was built on a Ford E-450 chassis powered by Phoenix Motorcars and will serve the school district. This electric vehicle was funded in part by the California HVIP voucher program.

“Our district’s commitment to sustainability not only contributes to environmental conservation but also yields significant cost savings, allowing resources to be allocated towards enhancing educational programs and student supports. That’s a testament to our dedicated Board of Education, which truly values putting students first,” said Samuel Precie, Administrator of Operations, San Bernardino City Unified School District.

The Phoenix service truck is equipped with a 105-kWh battery pack offering up to 115-mile range and can be fully charged in two to three hours with a 50-kW Level III charger. The zero-emission truck, compared to its equivalent fossil fueled alternative, can reduce atmospheric emissions by ~61 tons per vehicle annually, reduce maintenance costs by 75% and lower fuel costs by 80%.

Phoenix has been a leader in medium duty electrification for over a decade. With 4 million all-electric miles driven on its zero emission drive systems, Phoenix has unparalleled experience and expertise helping public and private fleets successfully deploy and adopt electric vehicles, cleaning the air quality and providing clean, quiet and safe zero emission transportation and mobility for their companies and communities.

“Phoenix Motorcars is excited to bring a zero emission service truck into the school district’s fleet,” said Denton Peng, CEO of Phoenix Motorcars. “We are eager to work with the school district to further its goal for zero emission fleet trucks. Zero emission transportation and mobility is a key factor in helping create a sustainable future and it’s our privilege to help reduce emissions and clean the air quality in the San Bernardino Valley. Our all-electric service truck offers a lower total cost of ownership for the school district as well, further justifying the switch to zero emissions from an economic standpoint.”
