The City of Dallas has selected Ford Pro – Ford’s commercial division – to help it advance its goal of electrifying its fleet by 2040 to improve city sustainability and air quality.
“The City of Dallas is committed to a clean, safe, and healthy environment, and we’re making great strides in our efforts to reduce emissions and improve air quality,” said Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson. “This agreement with Ford Pro marks a significant milestone and will… further scale EV charging infrastructure and electrify our fleet operations.”
As part of this partnership, Ford Pro and Dallas entered a 10-year agreement that will allow the city to grow and manage its EV charging infrastructure to support the electrification of its fleet operations.
Under this agreement, Dallas will install Ford Pro chargers at the city’s worksites and utilize Ford Pro’s smart charging software to customize and manage EV charging performance.
“EV adoption is on the rise… and we’re proud to provide smart charging software and hardware to help electrify one of the Lone Star State’s biggest cities in one of America’s biggest metro areas,” said Ted Cannis, Ford Pro CEO.
This agreement directly supports the city’s Comprehensive Environmental & Climate Action Plan, which calls for reducing carbon emissions through projects such as installing EV chargers throughout the city and adding light-duty EVs to the city’s fleet of 5,400 vehicles.
