Reasons to electrify your fleet 

The transportation sector emits the largest share of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the United States, according to the US Environmental Protection Agency. Many tribal nations, businesses, organizations, state governments, cities, and individual citizens are reducing GHG emissions by choosing cleaner fuel options for their cars, buses, and trucks. 

Fleet electrification shows leadership and a commitment to reducing GHG emissions while providing the following benefits for people, businesses, and communities: 

• Improved air quality and reduced health risks for workers and communities. 
• Improved working conditions and safety by reducing exposure to noise and chemicals. 
• Financial savings over time by reduced fuel and maintenance costs. 

Adopting electric vehicles in a fleet is not the only way to reduce GHG emissions. Other clean fuels, such as biofuels, propane, renewable natural gas, or hydrogen, can make a lot of sense depending on the vehicle’s use case. The American Lung Association and the US Department of Energy’s Alternative Fuels Data Center offer many resources for learning about other options available to fleets. We encourage any step that leads to a future with lower GHG emissions!
