LAWA Workshop Presentation

Phoenix along with WallyPark was invited to present during the LAWA Workshop at the ACT expo in front of 80 LAX operators. The presentation focused on the operation of the 30 Phoenix ZEUS shuttles at the Wally Park Facilities at LAX. Metrics such as mileage, routes, time of operation, cost savings and emission reductions were shared with the fleet operators. This was hosted by LAWA in order to introduce fleet operators to viable market ready Zero Emission Vehicles that they can use as part of their current fleets. LAWA is introducing new measures starting in April 2019 for fleet operators to switch over to Alternative Fuel Vehicles and preferably Zero Emission vehicles for their fleets.
