: "The Chautauqua County Department of Public Facilities Division of Solid Waste received its second plug-in electric terminal truck on February 6, 2018. The first truck was received in November 2017 at the North County Transfer Station and this second truck will be used at the South County Transfer Station on 2570 South Work St. in Falconer. The truck is provided by Orange EV, a Kansas City, Mo.-based industry that builds, sells and services industrial electric vehicles. The terminal truck, also known as yard jockey, will be used to shuttle loaded and empty transfer trailers in and out of the compaction area at the South County Transfer Station. This pure-electric terminal truck will replace a diesel-powered unit that is more than 15 years old and will completely eliminate the previous truck’s diesel fuel consumption and emissions. It is also much smoother, quieter and cleaner than a diesel truck and will create a better, healthier work environment for employees; lower energy costs; and reduce the county’s carbon footprint. The truck was purchased as part of the Department of Public Facilities Division of Solid Waste’s Capital Vehicle and Equipment Replacement Program. The county was able to purchase the truck by taking advantage of the New York State Electric Vehicle Voucher Incentive Program. This program aims to accelerate the deployment of alternative fuel vehicles and verified diesel emission control technologies for medium to heavy duty commercial fleets in New York State. By participating in this incentive program, the county experienced a reduction of 51 percent in its final cost for the new terminal truck." { "@context": "", "@type": "ImageObject", "contentUrl": "", "contentlocation": "US", "name": "County receives second plug in electric terminal truck for transfer station systems", "description": "Mike Saxton of Orange EV; Paul Abram of the Chautauqua County Department of Public Facilities; Bryan Davis of Orange EV; Kelly Rhinehart and Steve Rexford of the Chautauqua County Department of Public Facilities Division of Solid Waste; and Bob Reuther of White Oak Power.", "provider": { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Orange EV", "url": "", "image": "" } }

Williams said one pleasant surprise at the beginning of DHL’s electric truck initiative was the grant process to secure government subsidies. “When we sought grant money to test CNG-powered trucks, the application process was complicated and lengthy,” he said. “Getting getting EV grant money application process together much easier. In fact, it took less than a week.” Williams said driver training was a key component in putting the electric trucks in service, but added that that overall the operation of the trucks is “very straightforward” with few unfamiliar procedures. “For us, training was more about overcoming the ‘fear factor’ drivers had with the new vehicles,” he said. “The bulk of the training focused on understanding charge-state indicators as well as vehicle recharging features.” DHL Supply Chain’s electric truck evaluation is still ongoing. But Williams said he was confident that a “conservative" estimate has the two electric yard tractors saving $40,584 per year compared to diesel units.
