FORD F-150
Built by Torque Trends, Inc.
What if "zero" emissions also means savings on operating expense? The leadership of this city government saw the sense of converting their existing service truck into electric. The truck will gain 50% useful life. It has also become more safe as its center of gravity has been lowered, crash zone extended, braking stop shortened. Perfect for stop and go traffic, it gives back energy as the brakes are applied and no emission while waiting for traffic light to go green.

The Ford F-150 pilot project development was done in partnership with the City of Surprise. Other fleet applications can be designed specifically for you.
"The City of Surprise is very excited to have a fully electric, zero emission service truck in our fleet. Converting a new Ford F150 makes good business sense for the city including lower operating cost per mile, reduced maintenance costs and associated down times, and more predictable electricity costs versus the historically volatile costs of petroleum based fuels. However, the benefits of being an environmental leader within our community and the fleet industry really make just as much sense. As added bonuses, Torque Trends, Inc. has been a pleasure to work with and the electrified F150 is surprisingly fun to drive!"
