The City of Lacombe has purchased and deployed two all-electric John Deere Gator TEs.
City officials say the all-electric Gators are already part of the City Parks fleet and funded by a grant from the Municipal Climate Change Action Centre (MCCAC) Electric Vehicles for Municipalities (EVM) project, which assists municipalities across Alberta to lower energy costs, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve community resilience.
“The City of Lacombe added two all-electric Gators to our operations, utilizing funding from the Municipal Climate Change Action Centre,” Mayor Grant Creasey said. “I am hopeful these units will prove to be efficient and cost-effective. These units will be utilized in our substantial outdoor spaces and will be a welcome addition to those who may be particularly sensitive to traditional vehicles.”
City officials note, the Gator TE Utility Vehicle features a motor powered by a 48-V electrical system. This electrical system is said to allow Parks staff to carry loads, climb hills, and perform evenly until recharge.
