The Houston Airport System will receive 35 electric vehicles as part of the entity’s goal to commit to carbon neutrality by 2030 after Houston City Council approved the purchase Aug. 20.
The details
The $2.3 million purchase will provide the Houston Airport System, which manages and operates the William P. Hobby, George Bush Intercontinental and Ellington airports, with 25 light-duty electric vehicles, replacing 25 internal combustion emissions vehicles. This is expected to reduce the airport system’s carbon footprint, according to the agenda item.
Additionally, the purchase includes 10 electric service vans that will be used for the information technology and electrical support department, including operations and maintenance between Houston Airport System facilities, according to the agenda.
