Electrification Case Studies
To reduce emissions, cities and businesses are considering deploying electric vehicles (EV), which produce no tailpipe emissions that would otherwise impact public health in their immediate surroundings and have lower carbon footprints. The adoption of EVs into fleets will not look the same for any city or region. Differences in funding streams, city or regional priorities, fuel prices, and community compositions make the process inherently unique for each project. Parker partners with OEMs and end customers to develop customized solutions for their specific engineering challenges.
