Unveiling Canada’s first all-electric waste management fleet!

July 16th, @CityofCourtena and @TownofComox unveiled Canada’s first all-electric waste management fleet! Their partnership with @emterragroup, @MackTrucks and their shared commitment to sustainability will reduce transportation emissions and create healthier neighbourhoods.

It marks an important milestone for Mack Trucks, for waste management company Emterra Environmental, and the City of Courtenay and Town of Comox on Vancouver Island.
