BROOKLYN, NY / ACCESSWIRE / March 4, 2015 / Zenith Motors LLC, an alternative fuel conversion manufacturer, has announced today the Zenith Electric Vans are now eligible for the New York Truck -- Voucher Incentive Program (NYS -- VIP). This VIP program is designed to encourage fleet owners to shift into more efficient and cost-effective alternative-fueled vehicles promoting a cleaner air and a sustainable future for New York.
Fleet owners that operate Class 3 to Class 8 vehicles in a 30-County area can apply for funding to purchase an all-electric Zenith Shuttle or Cargo Van. The voucher will offset the purchase price up to $49,844*. With the voucher, the Zenith Electric Cargo & Shuttle Vans are now competitively priced compared to traditional gasoline-powered vehicles. After New York's truck voucher and a federal tax Incentive of $7,500, the Zenith Electric Shuttle Van can be purchased for $37,956. For more information on Zenith Motors' eligible vehicles, visit the NYS -- VIP web page, http://www. truck-vip.ny.gov.
"We are extremely pleased to be working with CALStart and the NYS -- VIP, offering our New York fleet owners a zero emission shuttle or cargo van that is competitively priced and less expensive to operate than gasoline powered vehicles," said William Yung III, CEO of Zenith Motors LLC.
NYS -- VIP is supported by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA). The program is a "first come, first serve" incentive program for the purchase of alternative-fuel vehicles and diesel emission control devices. Vendors that market and sell these technologies can apply for a voucher incentive to reduce the cost to the purchaser.
The Zenith Electric Shuttle and Cargo Vans are 100% electric. These electric vans can travel up to 60 miles per hour with a range from 90 to 120 miles per charge (depending on the battery options chosen). The van can fully charge in 6.5 hours; an upgraded on board battery charger can reduce this time to 4 hours. The shuttle van seats up to 11 passengers, while the cargo van sports a payload capacity of 3,000lbs. Zenith Electric vans are saving fleet operators an estimated $100,000** over 300,000 miles.
