As the electric vehicle (EV) market in the U.S. hits record-high adoption rates, Ford Pro, the commercial vehicles division of Ford Motor Company, is at the forefront of revolutionizing fleet electrification for businesses and governments alike. With EVs proving to be a cost-effective, sustainable choice, key players such as DHL Express and Ecolab are showcasing the economic and operational advantages of transitioning to electric fleets.
The New Wave: “Show, Not Tell” Phase of EV Adoption
Early adopters like Ecolab and Vestas are scaling up from pilot programs, armed with data that validates the long-term economic benefits of EVs. Ecolab’s commitment to adding 1,000 F-150® Lightning® trucks and Mustang® Mach-E® SUVs underscores the growing demand for durable, versatile electric solutions tailored for rugged conditions.
Data-Driven Decisions
Connected vehicles equipped with Ford Pro Telematics are transforming fleet management. Chief Harry Hess of the Avondale Estates Police Department used telematics to save 2,790 gallons of gas and 20 tons of CO2 emissions, enabling smarter fleet replacement cycles and reducing operational costs.
Simplifying the EV Journey
Ford Pro’s one-stop-shop ecosystem—spanning vehicles, charging, software, service, and financing—streamlines the electrification process. Small businesses like France Alliance 56 have slashed energy costs by 80%, while companies such as Grade A Construction benefit from Ford Pro’s tailored solutions for vehicle management.
Evolving Charging Solutions
Ford Pro is addressing diverse charging needs with home, depot, and public charging options. Companies like Hotpoint leverage home charging and Ford Pro Telematics to optimize efficiency, while collaborations with utility providers like Xcel Energy aim to expand charging infrastructure nationwide.
