Zero-Emissions Electric Truck in Salt Lake City
In keeping with our commitment to the pursuit of excellence, on Earth Day 2024, our Building Materials Distribution (BMD) branch in Salt Lake City, Utah, received the keys to its new zero-emissions electric vehicle. Associates and several guests gathered on April 22 to celebrate and learn more about the Kenworth ™ T680E Class 8 battery-electric truck. Boise Cascade was the first company in the Intermountain West to add one to their fleet.
“This project is a perfect opportunity to test our ability to incorporate sustainability in our daily operations, which further reduces our impact on the environment,” said Glen Lang, manager for our Building Materials Distribution (BMD) branch in Salt Lake City, Utah. “We are excited to see how we can put this asset to work in minimizing our environmental footprint while achieving our ROI.”
