AT&T Introducing 105 Alternative-Fuel Vehicles to US Fleet
21 May 2008
AT&T Inc. plans to add 105 alternative-fuel vehicles to the corporate fleet of its operating companies. The company will deploy three types of alternative-fuel vehicles:
- 25 Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) vans;
- 65 electric hybrid OEM vehicles (Ford Escapes and Toyota Priuses); and
- 15 electric hybrid conversion work trucks (gasoline parallel hybrid electric Ford E-450s from Azure Dynamics)
The vehicles will be embedded into AT&T’s workforce as operational components of its fleet. The company will measure and track fuel efficiency, greenhouse gas emissions, operating costs, performance and driver satisfaction of each vehicle.
The vehicles, which will be deployed in cities in California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio and Texas, join four Ford Escape hybrids that were deployed in California in late 2007.
AT&T estimates that its use of these alternative-fueled and more fuel-efficient vehicles will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 124 metric tons and conserve nearly 34,395 gallons of fuel annually.
