Lazer Logistics’ EV Platform Surpasses 1.5 Million Miles

2023 Year in Review

ALPHARETTA, GEORGIA, August 7, 2024 – Lazer Logistics, Inc. (“Lazer Logistics”), the leading provider of outsourced, end-to-end yard management services in North America, is proud to announce another significant sustainability milestone achieved through its industry-leading Electric Vehicle (EV) Spotter Program: surpassing 1.5 million zero-emission miles.

This groundbreaking achievement is a testament to the company’s continued commitment to sustainability and innovation, marking seven-plus years of diligent efforts to lead the industry toward a greener future. This builds on the momentum Lazer achieved at the end of 2023, when they announced they had reached 1 million zero-emission miles. Now, seven months later they are half-way to doubling that milestone.

Lazer Logistics’ 1.5 million zero-emission miles by the numbers:

Carbon Footprint Reduction

Over 20.8 million pounds of CO2 emissions have been prevented, significantly improving global greenhouse gas reduction efforts.

Operational Efficiency

Lazer’s EVs have accumulated more than 620,000 hours of key-on time, demonstrating not only environmental benefits but also the reliability and efficiency of our fleet.

Energy Savings

Lazer’s EV program has saved over 925,000 gallons of diesel, showcasing the economic and environmental advantages of transitioning to electric vehicles.

The Lazer Logistics EV program milestone is equivalent to:

  • 24,129,937 miles driven by an average gas-powered passenger vehicle
  • 10,397,786 pounds of coal burned
  • 1,862 homes’ electricity use for one year

Healthier Communities

Significant reductions in criteria air pollutants such as nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter (PM2.5), and carbon monoxide (CO) have occurred, leading to cleaner and healthier air quality for Lazer’s employees, clients, and communities.

“Our steadfast commitment is to reduce our carbon footprint while assisting our clients with their sustainability goals,” said Adam Newsome, CEO of Lazer Logistics. “Lazer will continue to lead our industry in sustainable yard management solutions as our zero-emission fleet expands.

“These achievements reflect corporate responsibility and our pledge to environmental stewardship for a cleaner future.”
