Battery electric commercial vehicles offer fleets many benefits including reduced fuel costs, reduced maintenance costs, and improved sustainability goals. Currently, commercial electric vehicles are ideally suited for operations such as:

- Regional haul day cab routes
- Vehicles that return to the depot at the end of day/shift for charging
- Areas where there are federal or state incentives for infrastructure and fleet investments 
- Dense urban areas where total cost of ownership can be on par with traditional powertrains

IC Bus® school buses are a great fit for electric vehicles as well, and are one of the first applications in the market. School buses have predictable routes, operate in short ranges, and return to home base every night for recharging.  All of these are important success factors for early adoption of battery electric vehicles.
