SAN DIEGO : Dole unveiled five new electric trucks at the San Diego Marine Terminal Monday morning, in a move to help reduce pollution along the bay.
"This is our latest improvement in sustainability," says Nelson Montoya, the President of Dole Fresh Fruit International."This shows we're more than just a Port tenant. Dole is strongly committed to being a change agent in combating climate disruption and adding electric vehicles to our operations is one area where we can make positive emissions impacts."
"This is not science fiction, this is here right now," says San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria."The chalenge for all of us is to figure out whether it's the city, the county, the port, whomever it is, how can we imagine this kind of technology into the everyday work that we're doing." "It's a win for the environment and it's a win for the community," says Port Chairman Dan Malcolm."It's wonderful to see continue to take advantage of state funding to help meet both their environmental goals and ours."
