Electrifying Emergency Response: Lessons from Cary, NC’s Electric Fire Truck
Kelley Flanagan2026-06-24T16:36:25-04:00The insights gained from this project offer valuable lessons to other municipalities and fleets operating heavy-duty vehicles as they illustrate a path forward for electrification through documented real-world application. Learnings from pilot deployments also help to inform decision-making for scaling and continuing the transition to zero emission. “This deployment and real-world performance give us conviction to continue evaluating electric options across our fleet. It also demonstrates that local governments don’t have to choose between reliable operations and environmental responsibility,” says Danna Widmar, assistant town manager.
