Sustainability is a powerful tool for boosting business growth and supporting healthy social systems and the environment. As a pioneering force in the commercial vehicle manufacturing industry, EAVX, works with J.B. Poindexter & Co., Inc, (JBPCO) and other business units, in our dedicated efforts leading the way in sustainable initiatives shaping our industry.
JBPCO is deeply committed to ensuring the availability of safe, affordable and environmentally friendly commercial vehicles. This commitment is evidenced by EAVX investing time and resources dedicated to the development of next generation of electric and alternative powered work trucks.
With transportation being the largest end-use of energy in developed countries, EAVX and JBPCO recognize the importance of our role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving air quality. That’s why JBPCO is committed to taking urgent action to combat climate change by harnessing the innovative resources at EAVX to create zero-carbon commercial vehicles and making commercial electric vehicle platforms more accessible for mainstream use. We are continuously striving to develop sustainable solutions that will reduce the environmental impact of commercial vehicles. We believe our focus on advancing EV/AV technology will also contribute to the creation of inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable communities.
We understand the success of the next generation of commercial vehicles hinges on their ability to meet the unique needs and demands of businesses and fleets. That’s why we prioritize serviceability – the development of lighter-weight bodies to offset EV battery weight and increase available payload, increase distance to reduce range anxiety and create innovative upfits for diverse businesses.
JBPCO is committed to ensuring sustainable consumption and production patterns by adopting eco-friendly manufacturing practices that minimize our impact on the environment. Through the innovation hub at EAVX, we are improving operating efficiencies and optimizing manufacturing processes to reduce materials usage and waste. JPBCO is putting less strain on the planet’s resources and the processes needed to obtain them. We work to create the shortest and most efficient paths possible to deliver the needed materials for production and utilize the award-winning ERA Environmental Management System to help quantify and reduce emission use.
Responsible business practices can drive progress, conserve the environment and improve communities. By actively seeking innovative solutions, EAVX and JBPCO are paving the way for a brighter and more sustainable future.
