IN THE FIELDS

FARMING ELECTRIC WITH SOLECTRAC

Solectrac is creating a future where farmers use powerful, quiet and zero-emission tractors instead of noisy, polluting diesel-powered tractors. The benefits extend beyond the farm – kicking the oil habit means no toxic diesel pollution going into the air, settling in the soil, and ending up in our food system and bodies.

HIGH POINT 01

e25 Tractors

Solectrac supplied a combined total of 17 powerful, zero-emission and quiet e25 tractors to the University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources and Altman Plant Nursey.

POWERFUL ELECTRIC WITH US HYBRID

US Hybrid is making a big impact in the specialty vehicle markets. You may not think about specialty vehicles often, but they are essential to our lives. They are the vehicles that power our economy and improve our quality of life –  like street sweepers, buses, port and warehouse vehicles.

These vehicles are expensive, and operators want to run them for a long time. This is where US Hybrid comes in, converting existing fossil-fuel-powered specialty vehicles to zero emission. A fast, easy, and affordable way to keep these essential vehicles moving and in compliance with regulations.

HIGH POINT 01

Expanding A Strategic Partnership With Global Environmental Products (GEP)

GEP ordered 25 battery electric zero-emission propulsion kits from US Hybrid for street sweepers, with the potential for more 37 kits to be ordered.

Zero-Emission Paratransit Vans

US Hybrid delivered five Hydrogen-Powered Fuel Cell paratransit vans to Central Ohio Transit., and four Hydrogen Fuel Cell powered paratransit vans to SunLine Transit.

HIGH POINT 03

Reducing Emissions From Port Operations

US Hybrid partnered with Toyota Tsusho to convert a diesel-powered heavy-duty stacker to zero emission at the Port of Los Angeles. A second conversion project is underway.

US Hybrid places a high degree of importance on its relationships with ports, as they are traditionally located within or adjacent to disadvantaged communities whose residents are disproportionally exposed to bad air quality.
