LOS ANGELES, June 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas)在其车队中增加了福特E-Transit电动货车，作为其战略的一部分 ASPIRE 2045 sustainability strategy该公司正在努力实现其50%的公路车辆被替换的目标1 到2025年普及替代燃料汽车(AFV)，到2035年运营100%零排放车队. The introduction of 21 new Ford E-Transit vans represents a milestone for SoCalGas as the first battery electric vehicles to be integrated into the company's fleet.
"The addition of Ford's E-Transit electric vans to our fleet represents a significant achievement in SoCalGas' advancement toward a zero-emissions future," said Sandra Hrna他是SoCalGas供应链和运营支持副总裁. “通过投资电力驱动的技术, hydrogen or renewable natural gas, we are advancing our efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) and accelerate decarbonization in a sector that has historically been a major contributor to GHG emissions."
At the close of 2023, SoCalGas的公路车辆中有38%采用低排放和零排放能源. SoCalGas目前的公路车辆有700辆 RNG Ford F-250 service pickup trucks and 50 丰田Mirai氢燃料电池电动车(HFCEV).
"I applaud SoCalGas on its efforts to accelerate the transition of its truck fleet to zero-emissions," said Wayne Nastri，南海岸空气质量管理区行政主任. "These trucks reduce smog-forming emissions making it easier for us to breathe and they also reduce greenhouse gas emissions thereby helping our climate."
SoCalGas aims to advance sustainable transportation solutions and actively collaborates with automakers to develop innovative low- and zero-emissions options to help support California's climate goals. SoCalGas and Ford are developing a hydrogen fuel cell F-550 prototype with the Department of Energy (DOE) and, in 2025, plan to demonstrate its performance in real world conditions in an effort to help reduce GHG and nitrogen oxide emissions in medium- and heavy-duty commercial vehicles. Ford's light-duty electric vans have a range of up to 126 miles and are being used by employees to service SoCalGas' industrial and commercial customers.
"E-Transit is a great solution for companies to reduce carbon emissions while lowering fleet costs associated with fuel and maintenance," said Ted Haladyna, Ford Pro director of product marketing. "When low- and zero-emission vehicles are supported with the right infrastructure it can be a win-win for business and the planet. 在开发过程的早期与客户一起测试新技术, 就像我们在F-550超级氢燃料电池电动卡车上与SoCalGas合作一样, 我们的合作将如何推动替代燃料行业向前发展的另一个例子."
为了支持零排放车队，SoCalGas正在其境内安装电动汽车充电器 几乎完全由可再生电力提供动力 南加州爱迪生公司的绿色费率计划. 最近，SoCalGas公司在其总部增设了电动汽车充电站 Compton, Brea and Newberry Spring locations, with plans to extend the network to 1,未来两年，将在65个设施地点安装500个充电桩.

SoCalGas was recognized with the “先进清洁交通博览”颁发“领先私人车队奖” in 2022 acknowledging the company's efforts to go above and beyond what is required to achieve sustainability in fleet operations.
