All charged up and ready to roll

Ross King is one of several carpentry and mechanical shop workers who will be rolling across campus in the newest additions to UVic’s environmentally friendly fleet vehicles. Parking services and facilities management have expanded their fleets with two new electric Might-E Trucks. Campus security has also just replaced one of their SUVs with a hybrid version. This initiative is a part of UVic’s strategy to become carbon neutral by 2010. The new vehicles add to UVic’s growing fleet of bicycles, e-gators, hybrid cars and bio-diesel equipment on campus, helping to save money by reducing long-term operating costs.
