Saskatoon, SK anticipates transit fleet maintenance needs by using the Preteckt platform
Saskatoon Transit piloted Preteckt on select routes in 2021 in hopes of reducing service disruptions. The AI-powered, cloud-based platform considers vehicle usage, road conditions, and other data in evaluating maintenance needs. Transit technicians turn Preteckt's insights into routine maintenance and repairs before mechanical problems arise. City officials reported no service issues during the pilot thanks to a combination of predictive maintenance and process improvements.

Lubbock, TX addresses long-standing vacancies with its CDL training program for new hires
The city's Solid Waste Management team was 60% staffed at the program's approval, leading to overtime expenses and collection schedule changes. Lubbock is partnering with South Plains College on a two-week certification course for newly hired operators. Participants receive free CDL training and licensure while working as city apprentices. This incentive reduces upfront costs for new drivers, existing operator workloads, and solid waste collection expenses.

Seattle, WA Heavy Duty Truck Electrification Incentive Pilot reduces emissions from freight
Nine percent of Seattle's carbon emissions are generated by trucks driving to and from the port. This program provides instant rebates of up to 40% during all-electric freight truck purchases by selected operators. A $1.7 million incentive fund covers costs up to $180,000 per truck, reducing the financial burden of decarbonization on drivers and operators. Increased electric truck use supports the city's goal of 30% zero-emission deliveries by 2030.

Cachoeirinha, RS and Transbus use Liftango platform for new on-demand transit service
Residents use the TeuBus mobile app to request rides anywhere in the Transbus operating area. Transbus will use TeuBus for driver scheduling, fleet management, and customer support. TeuBus charges the same fare as the fixed-route system but reaches areas with limited transit service. An initial fleet of seven minibusses may expand to 16 if high commuter demand exists. Municipal and transit officials conducted a one-month pilot prior to a July 2023 release.

Oxfordshire County Council, GB and ULEMCo develop hydrogen fuel cells for emergency vehicles
The county's Fire and Rescue Service worked with ULEMCo on an eight-month evaluation of fire engine needs. This study determined how much energy was required for four hours of water pumping and typical travel distances to calls. ULEMCo will create a prototype drivetrain with hydrogen fuel cells for real-world tests across the county. A £3.9 million national grant supports the HYER Power initiative's development of zero-emissions technology for fire engines, ambulances, and street sweepers.

Lewes District Council, GB adopts Vision Techniques technology for safer and greener waste vehicles
Forty council vehicles are equipped with the company's 360° 3D Overview units. This system turns panoramic images outside of each vehicle into a 3D traffic view on the in-cab display. Council drivers improve their situational awareness using 360° 3D Overview. Waste management trucks are also outfitted with VT Solar rooftop panels. VT Solar sends emission-free energy to the vehicle's battery and alternator, thus reducing emissions produced by onboard equipment.

Raleigh, NC reduces the environmental impacts of city vehicles with a pilot of IDLE FREE technology
GoGreen is working with the city's Vehicle Fleet Services team on monitoring fleet vehicle idling. The IDLE FREE platform tracks idling time across participating departments and provides insights into driver behaviors. Department managers receive training from GoGreen and provide feedback to drivers about subtle changes for idling reduction. Behavioral changes during the use of city and personal vehicles will help Raleigh reach its goal of 80% emission reductions by 2050.

Nottingham City Council, GB CleanMobilEnergy pilot combines solar and vehicle-to-grid technologies
Two batteries constructed from recycled car batteries were installed at the city's Eastcroft Depot. The batteries hold 1,200 kWh of energy generated by the facility's solar panels. A fleet of 40 plug-in electric vehicles and six lorries is charged by 40 vehicle-to-grid chargers. The system provides entirely renewable energy to city vehicles with minimal use of the electrical grid. This pilot is the first of its type in the country and one of four supported by Interreg North-West Europe.

Ciudad de México, MX introduces all-electric BRT line as part of system-wide fleet electrification
Metrobús worked with C40 Cities and the International Council on Clean Transport on Line 3's conversion to electric buses. A fleet of 50 new buses provides zero-emission transport along the 20.4- kilometer route. Each bus can travel up to 330 kilometers per charge, thus allowing eight roundtrips on Line 3 before recharging is required. This fleet will result in an annual emissions reduction of 7,500 tons and moves the transit operator closer to 100% fleet conversion by 2035.
