Envirotech Vehicles Inc.- Providing 100% electric solutions for the transport industry

After nearly a century of the internal combustion engine dominating the personal transportation sector, electric vehicles are experiencing rapid growth in developed and developing vehicle markets.

The broad-scale adoption of electric vehicles has brought significant changes to society in terms of not only technology, but also moving our economy away from petroleum and lessening the environmental footprint of transportation.

Electric vehicles have the potential to reshape the transportation sector in the United States, drastically cutting carbon emissions and clearing the way for significant climate progress. Transportation is the highest-emitting sector in the country. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), the sector produced 28 percent of all carbon (CO2) emissions in 2018.

Electric vehicles could transform this high-emissions sector.

Powering the shift to zero-emission vehicles—Envirotech Vehicles’ story

The Envirotech Vehicles (EVT) team has over 30 years of in-depth industry expertise and an innovative, growing, customer-ready product line of vehicles, systems and green technologies that serve last-mile fleets, school districts, public and private transportation service companies and colleges and universities to meet the increasing demand for electric vehicles.

EVT is America’s first purpose-built, zero-emission, 100% homologated electric vehicle provider compliant with EPA, Department of Public Transportation and National Highway Transportation and Safety Administration (NHTSA) requirements. That means Envirotech’s vehicles are not only good for the environment and economically beneficial for customers, they’re also safe and meet the strict criteria mandated by the federal government.

Additionally, Envirotech’s vehicles do not use microprocessors, so the manufacturing of the company’s electric commercial vehicles are not impacted by present or future chipsupply chain shortages.

EVs are uniquely suited to commercial and government applications with predictable routes and schedules. These efficient, reliable vehicles provide a unique, cost-effective solution that addresses the challenges of fluctuating fuel prices and local, state, and federal government compliance. These facts, in addition to generous tax incentives for commercial EVs in the recently-signed Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), are all driving EVT’s focus on the commercial sector.

Today, EVT has hundreds of vehicles on the road, with satisfied customers from coast to coast.

EVT offers a variety of different products to meet commercial needs. From Class 3, 4 and 5 trucks, to vans and cutaway vans, to even right-hand drive vans, EVT has vehicles for almost every commercial need. Soon, that will include mass-transit customers as well. EVT’s all-electric bus is  currently in testing and will be rolling out at the end of the year.

Environmental sustainability and satisfying customers is our goal at Envirotech Vehicles

However you see it, commerical EVs are a key part of reducing the impact commercial vehicles have on the environment. If the transportation industry wants to make a positive impact on the environment, then it must start with changes in the commercial sector. Envirotech Vehicles is committed to building the best electric commercial vehicles that meet the customers’ needs. EVT is dedicated to innovation, and to developing the best EVs with the customer in mind. That’s why EVT’s vehicles look, perform and drive like standard commercial vehicles, but without the fluctuating fuel costs. Envirotech Vehicles are low maintenance, easy to operate, and even easier to maintain. Here’s what real EVT customers say about the company’s products and customer service: 

According to Gorden, the owner of Shine Solar working directly with EVT to ensure their fleet vehicles could meet their route without needing a charge was a game changer, especially when service was being done outside of city limits. Gorden added that Electric vehicles provided larger cost savings in gasoline and maintenance costs. EVT are expert in engineering and designing electric fleet vehicles.  

Another EVT customer, Edward Bagdasar, CSMI Vice President, said in San Diego, shipyard contractors were very aware and worked closely with their residential neighbors regarding greenhouse gas emissions. With the purchase of next-generation, zero-emission commercial vans from Envirotech Vehicles, Bagdasar said, CSMI was making positive improvements to become greener and more environmentally friendly. He hoped other contractors in the area would follow CSMI’s lead to a cleaner future.
