04 May 2016
XL Hybrids, Inc., the developer of a hybrid electric drive retrofit system for commercial and municipal fleets, announced that this month, 25 million road miles will have been collectively driven by globally-recognized brands, municipalities and nonprofits using the XL3 Hybrid Electric Drive System in their service, delivery and passenger fleets.
The number of fleet vehicles using XL Hybrids’ technology is increasing significantly as we work with major fleets, including The Coca-Cola Company, AmeriPride Service and The City of Boston, and gain new clients, such as BMC Stock and Yale University. These additional fleet customers are exponentially increasing the number of customer road miles driven with XL Hybrids electric drive technology.
