Solenis is beginning a transition of its commercial fleet to hybrid and fully EVs. Starting in Europe and North America, the changeover supports the company’s goals for operational efficiency and environmental responsibility.
“It is important to find opportunities in all facets of our business where we can reduce costs and carbon emissions at the same time,” said John Panichella, CEO, Solenis. “Adopting more sustainable technologies like hybrid and electric vehicles is another action item in our commitment to corporate social responsibility, matching the enthusiasm for sustainability that we see from our customers and stakeholders.”
Solenis will focus initially on the 82 percent of its fleet located in Europe and North America.
- Europe — Transition to battery electric vehicles where possible and plug-in hybrid vehicles elsewhere, with exceptions as needed.
- North America — Target 100 percent hybrid vehicles in the U.S., while Canada will be phased in as the local charging infrastructure matures.
- Latin America, Asia Pacific, Middle East, India and Africa will be reassessed annually, with electrification based on vehicle availability and infrastructure.
The company will conduct annual reviews to introduce new vehicles and expand into new countries.
