"Since introducing Azure's hybrid-electric vehicles ("HEV") to our fleet of curb-side delivery vehicles in 2005, we have logged more than 333,000 kilometres, saving almost 60,000 litres of fuel and preventing the emission of over 150 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions," said Robert Johnson, President and CEO of Purolator...
Under terms of the initial purchase order (dated September 15, 2005), Azure supplied 19 HEVs to Purolator. Under terms of an amendment to the initial purchase order (dated August 3, 2006), Azure was to supply an additional 115 HEVs to Purolator. To date, 30 of these additional HEVs have been delivered to Purolator and are currently in service. Under terms of the amended purchase order (dated August 14, 2007), Azure will supply the remaining 85 HEVs to Purolator on its new parallel hybrid-electric Ford E-450 platform. Further, Purolator has increased the order to include an additional 20 HEVs for a total of 105 HEVs on the Ford E-450 platform. Azure expects to deliver all 105 Ford E-450 HEVs in the third and fourth quarters of 2008.
