The Fords will be deployed by the Forest Service’s Eastern Region at Allegheny National Forest in Pennsylvania, Huran-Manistee National Forests in Michigan and White Mountain National Forest in New Hampshire.The Eastern Region operates 1,489 vehicles today. Thirteen of them are hybrid and seven run on compressed natural gas. The Forest Service’s nationwide fleet is 18,250 total vehicles with 24 hybrids.
The U.S. Forest Service currently has 32 charging ports nationwide for plug-in hybrids and electric utility task vehicles, including a solar-powered station in Oregon. "In a parallel effort, the Forest Service will also be focusing on data gathered through expanding use of fleet telematics," the spokesman said.
"This technology will provide fleet managers with the hard data needed for planning charging station deployment and for maximizing the use of battery electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles."
