We value sustainability and are always looking for ways to continue providing safe and reliable service while reducing our carbon footprint. By 2030, we hope that all new company vehicles purchased will have zero carbon emissions. This could include technologies such as Electric and Hydrogen vehicles. 

With that in mind, we have launched an electric vehicle pilot program in New Hampshire and purchased our first, fully electric vehicle. A 2020 Chevy Bolt was purchased in July and assigned to an employee based out of Londonderry. This electric vehicle is equipped with a 200 horsepower motor but has no engine noise.

As we evaluate our annual replacement needs, we will consider electric vehicles. Some of the challenges we face are mileage range and charging infrastructure. It is unlikely heavy duty vehicles will be replaced with electric vehicles. However, we will continue to evaluate the marketplace across all vehicle types to look for opportunities to utilize alternative fuel sources.
