Facilities Planning and Management has continued to keep sustainability a priority with the addition of five Ford e-transit vans to our fleet. These vans are 100% electric and will help Drake reduce our carbon footprint.

Facts about the new e-vans:

• Lower maintenance costs, as much as 40% less than gasoline-powered vans
• Certified as a zero-tailpipe emissions vehicle
• 360-degree camera package and reverse brake assist
• Battery (400V lithium-ion) is located under the body to maximize cargo space and provides 126 miles of range per charge
