Phil Oldridge, CEO of Envirotech, stated, "Envirotech is proud to serve business owners from California to Connecticut as we help them reduce their operating costs and increase their on-time delivery performance." "First mile, last mile delivery companies know how impactful monthly saving of one to two thousand dollars per vehicle is for their bottom line. And successful deliveries with no emissions are a mark of pride for every owner of an Envirotech vehicle."
