OSCEOLA, AR / ACCESSWIRE / December 10, 2024 / Envirotech Vehicles, Inc. (NASDAQ:EVTV), today announced an Envirotech logistics van is in use by New Jersey based Central Art & Engineering, Inc.

Central Art & Engineering uses the Envirotech logistics van for the pick-up and delivery of jobs and raw materials. A custom plastics fabricator, the company is deeply committed to the quality and reliability of their customer service. Central Art & Engineering also gains from cost savings and environmental benefits delivered by the Envirotech electric van.

Vice President of Central Arts & Engineering Eric Makkay commented: "I want electric vehicles for the business. We prefer to have clean electric. We love the hauling capacity."

The new Envirotech electric logistics van replaces an old fossil fuel powered Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van that Central Arts & Engineering had been using for years. The New Jersey Zero-Emission Incentive Program ("NJ ZIP") was instrumental in providing funding for the new Envirotech vehicle.

Phil Oldridge, CEO of Envirotech, stated: "We congratulate Central Arts & Engineering for their transition to electric delivery vehicles. And we again recognize the positive impact NJ ZIP is having in allowing New Jersey business owners to go electric. We welcome other New Jersey business owners to join us on this journey."

NJ ZIP is a $90 million voucher pilot launched by New Jersey Economic Development Authority ("NJEDA") for Medium and Heavy Duty Zero-Emission Vehicles. This pilot is funded by Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative ("RGGI") proceeds allocated to NJEDA for the purposes of reducing harmful emissions, especially in communities disproportionately impacted by transportation emissions, and creating economic opportunity within the state. The program will provide vouchers with base values ranging between $20,000 to $175,000.

The goal of the program is to accelerate the adoption and use of zero-emission medium and heavy-duty vehicles within New Jersey; to reduce emissions within the state; and to continue to allow NJEDA to determine and stimulate market-readiness, assess effectiveness of funding levels and program design, and test methodologies for measuring economic impact of such adoption. The pilot is being used as a vehicle to support the growth of the NJ zero-emission vehicle ecosystem, with accelerated adoption of zero-emission vehicles being the first step to attracting more jobs and investment, as other zero-emission vehicle programs and regulations roll out across multiple state agencies.

Business owners interested in learning about Envirotech's vehicle offering under NJ ZIP, and what vouchers may be available to them from the New Jersey Economic Development Authority should contact Envirotech at https://evtvusa.com/contact-evtv/
