(Nasdaq:SPAR), announced today that it has partnered with Smith Electric Vehicles Corp. (Smith) to produce and market the all-electric zero-emission Newton Step Van. Utilimaster and Smith co-developed an integrated walk-in van design using Smith's Newton chassis platform, which includes its proprietary all-electric Smith Drive™, Smith Power™ and Smith Link™ systems to provide superior power train performance, battery management efficiency and remote system monitoring. The Newton Step Van is available in configurations of 14,000 to 26,000 pounds GVW and 650 - 1200 cubic feet, and provides a range of approximately 100 miles on a single charge. "The innovation and product performance found in the Newton Step Van sets a new industry standard for alternative propulsion walk-in vans. This was achieved by two leaders in the industry – Smith and Utilimaster – collaborating to integrate a new delivery and service solution. The Smith Electric partnership offers our clients an affordable green solution with a reliable all-electric vehicle platform. Utilimaster's electric van body is built on a commercially proven electric drive platform technology that has been working reliably for years with a number of national fleets," says John Knudtson, vice president, product development for Utilimaster. Smith Electric has successfully deployed hundreds of commercial electric vehicles into fleet operations around the world, including PepsiCo's Frito-Lay division, Staples, Coca-Cola, Sainsbury's and TNT.

  • One Million Electric Vehicles by 2015
    One Million Electric Vehicles By 2015 February 2011 Status Report 1 Executive Summary President Obama’s goal of putting one million electric vehicles on the road by 2015 represents a key milestone toward dramatically reducing dependence on oil and ensuring that America leads in the growing electric vehicle manufacturing industry. Although the goal is ambitious, key steps already taken and further steps proposed indicate the goal is achievable. Indeed, leading vehicle manufacturers already have plans for cumulative U.S. production capacity of more than 1.2 million electric vehicles by 2015, according to public announcements and news reports. While it appears that the goal is within reach in terms of production capacity, initial costs and lack of familiarity with the technology could be barriers. For that reason, President Obama has proposed steps to accelerate America’s leadership in electric vehicle deployment, including improvements to existing consumer tax credits, programs to help cities prepare for growing demand for electric vehicles and strong support for research and development. Introduction In his 2011 State of the Union address, President Obama called for putting one million electric vehicles on the road by 2015 – affirming and highlighting a goal aimed at building U.S. leadership in technologies that reduce our dependence on oil.1 Electric vehicles (“EVs”) – a term that includes plug-in hybrids, extended range electric vehicles and all- electric vehicles -- represent a key pathway for reducing petroleum dependence, enhancing environmental stewardship and promoting transportation sustainability, while creating high quality jobs and economic growth. To achieve these benefits and reach the goal, President Obama has proposed a new effort that supports advanced technology vehicle adoption through improvements to tax credits in current law, investments in R&D and competitive “With more research and incentives, programs to encourage communities to invest we can break our dependence on oil in infrastructure supporting these vehicles.

  • Electric Drive Vehicles
    Electric Drive Case Study Location: San Francisco, CA Company: Pacifi c Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) Study: Electric Drive Vehicles Pacifi c Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) is a company based in San Francisco, California. As an energy company it directs signifi cant attention to energy effi ciency and clean energy options. The company’s website offers additional information on the company’s community and environmental responsibilities. One of the major changes the company has undergone to reduce its carbon footprint has been the greening of its fl eet vehicles. The company has deployed multiple hybrid electric vehicles within its fl eet as a solid business model. The company has service vehicles such as bucket trucks, “cherry-pickers”, and light-duty fl eet cars. There are three basic types of bucket trucks, says Director of Transportation Services Dave Meisel. The fi rst and least fuel-effi cient type is the standard conventional fuel truck that operates the bucket with a hydraulic system powered by the vehicle’s internal combustion engine. The second type uses conventional diesel engines for propulsion, but uses an electric system to operate the boom and additional systems such as the truck heating and cooling system when the vehicle is stationary. This type of hybrid system allows for reductions in idle fuel consumption and emissions. The third type is the PG&E 100% electric bucket truck, which are the most fuel-effi cient because electric motors power the motor The PG&E 100% electric bucket truck, confi gured and manufactured by for propulsion and all subsystems.
