Envirotech Vehicles announced Newark Public Library is using two Envirotech electric delivery vans to drive books, materials, and paperwork between the main library and the six branch libraries.
The Newark Public Library continues to demonstrate its proven commitment to sustainability and the environment using the two electric cargo vans, made available through the New Jersey Zero-Emission Incentive Program (“NJ ZIP”).
Phil Oldridge, CEO of Envirotech, expressed his gratitude for the ability to assist the library in serving the people of Newark, New Jersey. “Envirotech is honored to serve the people of Newark by having our vehicles deliver books to them. The fact that children, adults, and the elderly will be able to receive reading materials with the assistance of Envirotech’s electric vans is something we as a company are very proud of.”
Zuhare Meri, Newark Public Library’s Building Superintendent/Facilities and Maintenance, commented on the benefit the Envirotech vans provide: “We love them. Using the vans is the best situation we could have. They save us a lot of money on gas. They are very easy to charge. They are very easy to drive.”
Zuhare Meri added that based on the battery range the vans provide, the library does not have to charge them often – at times charging them only once every two weeks. As a result of the benefits the Envirotech electric vans have given to the Newark Public Library, the library’s traditional gas-powered van is now used much less.
Business owners interested in learning about Envirotech’s vehicle offering in New Jersey, and what vouchers may be available to them from the New Jersey Economic Development Authority – should contact Envirotech.
