United Rentals Outlines Emission Goals
United Rentals announced an agreement with Ford Motor Company to add EVs to its fleet for use by the company’s sales, service and delivery personnel.
The company outlined additional steps it is taking to reduce the environmental impact of its operations and help its customers reduce their carbon footprint, including plans to adopt more efficient technologies in its buildings and properties to further reduce GHG emissions.
These initiatives are detailed in the company's new white paper “Sustainability at United Rentals.”
United Rentals' initiatives with Ford, POWRBANK and Takeuchi, JCB and others demonstrate its commitment to providing eco-friendly equipment to the rental mix.
