Electric Fleet Vehicles
The City of Orlando has integrated a variety of alternative fuel and electric vehicles into its fleet, working toward a goal of 100% by 2030. As of 2022, 92% of the city fleet is alternatively fueled, and as more makes and models of electric vehicle options become available across different classes, the city is evaluating and piloting which are best suited to support critical city services. Current EVs in the fleet include Chevy Bolts and Volts, Nissan Leafs, Ford Cargo Vans and a F150 Lighting. Departments across the city are embracing the future. These clean vehicles are saving taxpayer dollars spent on operations and maintenance and reducing the emissions released in the process.
CNG and Hydraulic Hybrid Garbage Trucks and Recycling Trucks
Today, over 90% of the City of Orlando’s refuse and recycling collection trucks have been replaced by compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles. These CNG trucks are significantly quieter on our city streets and reduce CO2 emissions by up to 12.5 thousand metric tons – the equivalent to taking 325 cars off the road - each year. And they further reduce the city’s use of more expensive diesel fuels.
