GGT Electric Wins State-Wide Bid to Supply South Carolina with Electric Vehicles

Milford-based GreenGoTek Electric said it had received an order from the state of South Carolina for 10 of its E-Dyne all-electric passenger vans over the next year, with the option for a renewal for another 10 vans a year from now.

GGT said it's one of Carolina's first statewide contracts to bring low-speed electric vehicles to the state's automotive fleet.

The E-Dyne Van is a rugged, functional work vehicle that's 100% electric and produces zero emissions, making it a clean, safe option for buyers and the planet.

The vans will be used for a multitude of potential purposes, including, but not limited to, campus supervision, grounds maintenance, parking meter enforcement, personal transportation, light hauling, and many others.

Said Ray Leduc, CEO of GGT Electric: "The mission of our company is clear. We are working to advance the adoption of all-electric vehicles in North America in order to protect our environment, reduce our dependence on foreign oil and provide safer, cleaner, and less-expensive options to fleet and automotive buyers. We can't wait to  see one of our electric vans driving through the streets of Columbia, South Carolina!"

GGT Electric has supplied its all-electric vehicles to such diverse sources as the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, the U.S. Veterans Administration, the Federal Aviation Administration, the Grand Canyon National Park, the University of Memphis, and the U.S. Forestry Service, to name a few.
