Balance Hybrid Vehicles for Toronto

Leading by example, the City of Toronto is going green after purchasing five Balance Hybrid Electric Trucks from Azure Dynamics Corporation. The five trucks will be put into service in three different city divisions including the Library; the Parks, Forestry and Recreation Division; and Solid Waste Management Services.
“Azure Dynamics has a steadfast dedication to promoting sustainable living and driving a world of difference,” said Scott Harrison, Azure Dynamics’ Chief Executive Officer. “By deploying five Balance Hybrid Electric trucks, the City of Toronto continues to support a collective effort to improve the green footprint throughout Canada where the citizens value and appreciate their incredible natural resources.”
The five trucks ordered by the City of Toronto will be used in some of the City’s busiest departments. One unit will be utilized by the Library where an inter-branch delivery system will operate six days a week making approximately 10 stops a day. The Parks, Forestry and Recreation Division will use one vehicle for the delivery of sports equipment and recreational materials to community centers throughout Toronto and another vehicle for the delivery of live plants for special events held in Toronto at various public functions. Finally, two units will be used by Solid Waste Management Services for residential curb side pickup of ‘white goods’ which include refrigerators, stoves, washing machines, etc. to be taken to a dedicated recycling facility.
