According to Todd Bloom, MFTA’s president and CEO, “Mitsubishi Fuso Truck has a long history of making environmentally sound vehicles. Our new partnership with eNow is another step in assuring our customers have access to vehicles that consistently offer lower cost-of-ownership, while maintaining as small an environmental footprint as is practical. And in this case, environmentally sound technology also solves specific operating issues for some of the auxiliary equipment our customers install on their trucks.””

The eNow systems will be available at more than 200 Mitsubishi Fuso dealers in the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico.
