Formosa Plastics Corp. U.S.A. received a shipment of 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning All-Electric trucks and 2022 Ford E-Transit All-Electric vans from United Rentals as it converts its fleet of more than 400 vehicles to hybrid and electric units. The company, an early adopter of electric vehicles, is among the first in South Texas to receive these electric units, receiving a shipment in time for a celebratory event with media and community leaders at Formosa Plastics’ facility in Point Comfort, Texas, August 25.
Formosa Plastics considers the event significant because there is high demand and short supply for these types of electric vehicles, the company said.
Formosa Plastics said it values its long-term partnership with United Rentals. The companies have worked together for 25 years. It said sharing their mutual commitment to reducing the environmental impact of their operations and reducing their carbon footprint has been at the forefront of their business planning.
