Electric trucks hit the road in Milton
On Monday, Watsontown Trucking Company took to the road with its new electric vehicles.
Watsontown Trucking Company is putting the brakes on emissions with their new electric vehicles.
'So right here in Milton, we have five. We have three Volvo VNR day cabs and two Autocar jockey trucks,' said Watsontown Trucking Company Director Of Operations Jared Brokenshire.
Officials with the company say the trucks are a significant step toward sustainable transportation.
What is the future of the Keystone Mission?
'A lot of our clients are pushing us to have sustainability goals as a company so it meets both of those our own sustainability goals and some that have been pushed to us from some of our clients,' Watsontown Trucking Company President Steve Patton Explained.
Over the course of a year, the trucks will save approximately 28,000 gallons of diesel fuel.
'As a trucking company, when it comes to the environment, burning diesel fuel is the primary thing we do, so as much as we can save in that aspect is how we would be contributing to sustainability. So a fully electric truck is the best way to take care of that problem,' Brokenshire added.
The company in Milton will use its five trucks locally and within their industrial park.
State grants helped make the project happen.
