Air pollution is a major environmental issue in cities around the world. Globally, air pollution is a major environmental problem. More than any other sector of the economy, the transportation sector accounts for 27 percent of US greenhouse gas emissions. In addition to emitting most of the transportation sector’s greenhouse gases, passenger cars and light trucks also pose serious air quality problems; at least 125 million US residents reside in areas with poor air quality.
In reality, vehicles are used for a wide range of tasks every day. Deliveries are made, trash is picked up, and security is maintained. There are some things that only the right vehicle can help you achieve in congested areas, at remote work sites, in parks, at schools, and in businesses everywhere. There are some vehicles that leave a lasting imprint on the environment, and there are others that leave a fleeting shadow. David Solomont, Founder & CEO at evTS, invites you to learn more about the Firefly ESV®, an all-electric commercial light utility vehicle designed for a right-sized market.

Its ergonomic use of space provides a spacious feel, with best-in-class legroom, center, left or right-hand drive, adjustable, easy-to-clean heated fabric bucket seats, and multiple seating configuration options.
Final Words
It is possible to reduce carbon pollution as well as improve air quality by transitioning our transportation sector from its near-total dependence on oil to electricity. Transport can, and should, be electrified while the electric sector is further cleaned up. It will take time to switch fleets of cars and trucks to cleaner energy sources, but we should be determined to see it through.
