CalVans is a public transit agency that offers a vanpool program to California commuters, while Model 1 is America's largest bus dealer.
Model 1 Commercial Vehicles, America's largest bus and transportation services dealer, has announced the sale of 403 new Ford E-Transit passenger vans to the California Vanpool Authority .
Before purchasing the Ford E-Transit vans from Model 1, CalVans' fleet of nearly 1,000 vehicles included many internal combustion engine units that had exceeded the recommended lifecycle or were reaching end-of-life. The company struggled to find parts to maintain old gas-fueled models or traditional unit options to meet timing demands.
"This single move will grow our fleet by more than 40 percent and save millions in miles not traveled in the next year – greenhouse gas- and gas-free," said CalVans Board Chair Steve McShane. The first upfitted E-Transit passenger vans will ship to California in a week or two, with bigger shipments to reach the Golden State in October and November.North America general manager Tim Baughman applauded CalVans' efforts to reduce costs and its carbon footprint.
