The Sacramento Clean Cities Coalition in partnership with Phoenix Motor Company succeeded last week in turning a typical coalition board meeting into an exciting networking event and workshop, furthering it’s efforts towards promoting a world with reduced carbon emissions and a cleaner atmospheric environment.
Instead of just hosting it’s regular quarterly board meeting, the coalition decided to combine the meeting with an educational workshop that centered around Phoenix Motor Company as a business, as well as the electric vehicles they manufacture and how those vehicles can be applied to federal and state funding opportunities. However, what ended up stealing the show was Phoenix's Battery Electric Shuttlebus. It was on display and offering Ride Alongs right outside the building for those who were interested. This provided an opportunity for Phoenix to showcase in real time the unique manufacturing it spearheads regarding all electric Class 3 &4 vehicles. The speaker from Phoenix Motors, Terek Helou, gave a compelling presentation on the Shuttlebus and how it represents the unique manufacturing styles, telematics overviews, and other technological advances that are available through the company.
The presentation was followed by a networking lunch catered from O’Sullys Café, who was able to provide a virtually zero-waste meal with entirely environmentally friendly food and cutlery. All the garbage cans in the room were removed and replaced with recycle or compost bins to ensure that there would be no waste sent to the landfill!
Overall, the event was a huge success! Not only was the Coalition able to meet and discuss standard topics, it was also able to execute an influential, educational workshop for those interested in implementing electric vehicles into their fleets. Expectations for the next board meeting will be quite high, but the Coalition hopes to use the success of this event as a leading example for all events in the future. With the help of companies such as Phoenix Motors, Sacramento Clean Cities will have no trouble fulfilling it’s mission to promote alternative fuel and vehicle technologies that will, one day, replace harmful, diesel powered engines.
