“REV is giving North American fleet vehicle operators an opportunity to
transform their passenger vehicle fleets into green driving machines.
REV Technologies is an innovative and forward thinking company, which
provides a steadfast fully electric vehicle that moves society with
a sustainable and renewable energy vehicle for now and the future,”
states Rick Longobart, Fleet Management and Transit Services
Superintendent, City of Inglewood, and President of the Municipal
Equipment Maintenance Association.
Fleet managers are adding all-electric vehicles into their fleets to
comply with clean air mandates, but finding production ready vehicles is
challenging. REV’s all-electric fleet vehicle is built on the best
selling fleet vehicle platform and it’s available now.
“We are offering fleet managers the ability to save fuel and maintenance
costs and increase fleet-service life, saving taxpayer dollars and
decreasing emissions that affect air quality. And for the first time,
fleet managers will have an opportunity to test drive a REV 100 percent
electric transformed vehicle,” says Jay Giraud, president and CEO of
REV. “In addition, Coulomb Technologies ChargePoint® Networked Charging
Stations provide the necessary infrastructure that allows us to deliver
an end-to-end solution for electrifying existing fleets’ operations.”
The REV 300 ACX travels 100 miles on a single charge while maintaining
the performance capabilities of the original vehicle. The REV electric
fleet vehicle is efficient with regenerative braking, eGear drive
transmission, and less than 10 moving parts. The vehicles are safe with
built-in inertia switches, a manual safety disconnect, 4-wheel ABS
brakes, and full system airbags. They are also reliable with 1/10th
the maintenance, Vehicle to Grid ready, recharge in as little as 3.5
