Clean Transportation (cont'd)

A Variety of Activities

Here at the New York Power Authority, we’ve put into service hundreds of electric-drive vehicles (EDVs) of various sizes and purposes all around the state for use by our customers as well as at our own facilities. We were the first utility in the Northeast to pass the million-mile mark for combined electric vehicle mileage in 2000, and our Clean Transportation programs and services have continued gaining ground. As of December 31, 2007, we had logged over 8.6 million electric-drive vehicle miles. (See Electric-Drive Vehicle Report Summaries, by vehicle application, by vehicle type, and by vehicle model).

Our EDV projects include hybrid-electric vehicles such as heavy-duty trucks, transits buses, and school buses, the next generation of electric-drive vehicles - the plug-in hybrid, as well as a range of electric vehicles, such as the two-ton delivery trucks, low-speed vehicles and off-road equipment,  In addition to our vehicle fleet, we have worked on a number of other initiatives to promote clean transportation technologies, including a program to install pollution control devices on New York City school buses.  Here’s a look at what we’re doing:
