Campus acquires second electric vehicle
UWRF acquired a second electric vehicle last week
to be used for campus mail delivery. The new Sustainable Energy
Electric Vehicle was built to specifications to meet the needs of
UWRF's Postal Services. Cost is as much as a new conventional van but
thousands of dollars are expected to be saved in fuel costs over the
life of the vehicle. Electric vehicles also offer the environmental
benefit of not adding to our carbon footprint. UWRF is a leader in the
state-wide sustainability effort. Wisconsin has a state contract with
the manufacturer of the electric vehicles as a number of electric
vehicles are in use in Madison. UWRF's first NEV was obtained last
summer for University Center use. For
