Motiv Power Systems has received an order for 30 additional advanced zero-emission all-electric delivery vans from office supply giant Cintas Corp.
This new order follows the successful pilot of seven Motiv-powered vehicles in California, New York and Michigan in 2022. The new trucks will be deployed on existing Cintas routes, bringing the number of Motiv-powered EVs in the Cintas fleet to 37 vehicles driving daily routes nationwide across the three states.
The electric delivery vehicles are built on Motiv’s EPIC5 platform, which provides optimized vehicle performance and efficiency through a proprietary hardware and software EV platform, enabling an easier pathway to electrification for fleets of the future.
To date, the deployment of Motiv’s electric delivery vehicles has helped Cintas reduce tailpipe greenhouse gas emissions by 37 metric tons, aligning with the company’s broader Electric Vehicle and Alternative-Fuel Vehicle Strategy.
