National Joint Powers Alliance (NJPA) announced its partnership with Fleets for the Future (F4F) to coordinate a national procurement initiative to increase the deployment of alternative-fuel vehicles (AFVs) and related infrastructure across the country.
This collaboration is designed to help cities, counties and regions with the large upfront costs that are associated with AFVs. Public fleet managers can utilize this opportunity to purchase and lease AFVs at discounted rates through NJPA’s extensive list of competitively awarded contracts. Participants can choose from a variety of battery electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid vehicles, natural gas vehicles, and propane autogas vehicles available with NJPA to build their fleets.
“NJPA is excited to join Fleets for the Future in expanding and promoting our alternative fuel vehicle and infrastructure options and providing solutions to public entities in all 50 states,” said Tom Perttula, NJPA’s Manager of Contract Administration.
In addition to vehicles, the two organizations aim to simplify the process of selecting, installing, and implementing the infrastructure to support AFVs. Recently, F4F provided guidance in the creation of NJPA's Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment category, and the addition of five new vendors, including ChargePoint, LilyPad EV, Siemens, AeroVironment, and Greenlots. NJPA will continue to add more opportunities as the partnership progresses.
