UC Davis Adds Electric Box Truck to Support Logistics Operations

The vehicle replaces a gas-powered truck and supports the university’s broader sustainability efforts, including its Last Mile Initiative.

The truck will be used to support campus delivery operations, reducing UC Davis’ reliance on gas-powered vehicles for day-to-day services.

“Transitioning from gas-powered to electric vehicles, alongside the university’s Last Mile Initiative, significantly reduces campus vehicle traffic and lowers its overall carbon footprint.”
 — Jen Carmichael, Director of Logistics

The project was made possible with funding from the Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District (Sac Metro Air District).
