“We want to start using this for smaller areas first, areas that do not require very long distances to deliver,” VP for Procurement Chris Guidotti said .
“We are a company that has been helping the environment for several years now, starting with the “Linis-Dagat” project where we have been collecting plastic garbage from the ocean and converting this to 100% recycled plastic pavers. The e-Cab is another project we are doing to show our commitment in going green,” Guidotti revealed.
A study conducted by researchers at MIT’s Centre for Transportation and Logistics finds that electric vehicles can cost 9 to 12 percent less to operate than trucks powered by diesel engines, when used to make deliveries on an everyday basis. “Regular vans use electricity instead of gasoline so there’s no emission, making it more environment-friendly,” added Guidotti.
