Fluid Truck, a national truck rental platform, will incorporate 600 Lightning Electric vehicles<\/a> onto its platform, with availability starting in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n

Fluid Truck, a technology-based truck rental platform, allows businesses to easily rent and pick up vehicles from nearby locations 24\/7, 365 days a year. Users in major cities across the United States can access vehicles through both the Fluid Truck website and mobile application.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to work with Lightning Systems,\u201d said James Eberhard, CEO and founder of Fluid Truck. \u201cWe have been impressed with Lightning Systems\u2019 capabilities and innovation in the EV space. We believe that electric vehicles will be a great solution for businesses to get the job done sustainably.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fluid Truck\u2019s 600 vehicle order calls for an assortment of Lightning Electric<\/a> Ford Transit 350HD delivery vans<\/a>, Lightning Electric Ford E-450 Class 4 trucks, and Lightning Electric Hino 268 Class 6 trucks.<\/p>\n

The all-electric, zero-emission vehicles will be deployed in major urban areas across the U.S.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are thrilled about this partnership, because it provides a footprint for our commercial electric vehicles that will be available to vehicle operators on-demand, across the U.S.,\u201d said Tim Reeser, CEO of Lightning Systems. \u201cThis is an exciting opportunity for both companies due to the rising demand for electric vehicles from commercial customers who have sustainability requirements for their fleets.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCities also are beginning to designate \u2018zero-emission zones,\u2019 such as those in London and Santa Monica,\u201d Reeser added. \u201cWe see that trend continuing, which will further increase the demand for commercial EVs, including rental vehicles, in cities such as San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to the vehicles available through Fluid\u2019s rental platform, Lightning Systems is working with Fluid to facilitate trial use and demonstrations with 100 of its own all-electric vehicles in several major U.S. cities. \u201cThese vehicles will be a terrific way for users to experience our wide array of vehicles for short-term demonstrations and trial periods,\u201d Reeser said.<\/p>\n

Early in his term in 2019, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis signed\u00a0an executive order\u00a0to support the state\u2019s transition to zero-emission vehicles. \u201cColorado\u2019s small businesses rely on the safe and efficient transportation of their goods and services; this partnership unlocks an environmentally friendly transportation option that\u2019s good for businesses and Colorado\u2019s environment,\u201d said Betsy Markey, executive director, Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade. \u201cIt\u2019s especially heartening to see two Colorado companies pioneering a thoughtful and innovative transportation solution.\u201d<\/p>\n
