WDEV-Calkins Night Postponed to September 10
Thunder Road officials have postponed WDEV Radio/
Calkins Portable Toilet Night that was scheduled for Thursday,
July 29 due to a rainy forecast. The event is now slated for
Friday, September 10 at 7:00 p.m.
Rain was expected to begin in the Central Vermont area
between 5:00 and 6:00 p.m on Thursday and continue through
the night. The combination of the rainy outlook and a busy
weekend ahead for teams and fans — which includes the
American-Canadian Tour Midsummer Classic 250 at White
Mountain Motorsports Park on Saturday and the Bolduc
Metal Recycling Enduro 200 on Sunday — led officials to
slot the WDEV-Calkins event for the open September weekend.
The card of events for WDEV-Calkins Night will remain

GMP Begins Electrifying Field Operations Fleet
with First All-Electric Bucket Truck
Green Mountain Power (GMP) will replace two heavy-duty
fossil-fuel field operations trucks with two all-electric trucks
manufactured by Lion Electric in 2022 a fully outfitted bucket
truck for line crews and a Class 6 stake-body truck for electrical
maintenance field crews.
The two trucks are expected to offset up to 100 tons of
greenhouse gas emissions per year, representing a big advancement
in clean electric vehicle technology for heavy-duty work
and are a major step toward P’s goal of electrifying its field
operations fleet. P is among the first utilities in New England
to receive all-electric heavy-duty trucks for its fleet. This
move is the latest step GMP has already taken to cut carbon
in its fleet, including using clean B20 biodiesel in almost all
trucks for many years, and incorporating fully electric cars and
plug-in hybrid vehicles into other aspects of its fleet.
Electrifying our heavy-duty field operations fleet to reduce
carbon emissions as we travel the state keeping the lights
on and building a more resilient grid is a critical next step in
our work to eliminate fossil fuels from our operations,” said
Mari McClure, president and CEO of Green Mountain Power.
“Transportation with fossil-fueled vehicles is the top source of
carbon emissions in Vermont and we’re proud to start the process
of converting our line truck fleet to clean electric trucks.”
GMP received about a $915,000 grant through the VW settlement
fund managed by the Agency of Natural Resources,
and will collect data about the trucks’ use, performance, charging,
and carbon reduction to help the state learn more about the
opportunities electric trucks offer the state in reaching clean
energy goals.
“Reducing public exposure to diesel emissions is an ongoing
challenge,” said Peter Walke, commissioner of the Vermont
Department of Environmental Conservation. “This project reduces
both criteria air pollutants and greenhouse gases, moving
Vermont closer to meeting our GHG emissions reduction

goals, and supporting our electrification goals for the mediumand
heavy-duty vehicle sector.”
Lion Electric – a leading North American manufacturer of
medium- and heavy-duty zero-emission vehicles – will manufacture
the trucks to order, with the first truck expected to be
delivered to P in the first quarter of 2022, and the second
one scheduled to arrive next summer.
“As a clean-energy leader, Vermont is a great example of
how to integrate sustainable energy and electrified transportation,
which is key to creating a successful sustainable society
and economy in the future,” said Marc Bedard, CEO, and
founder of Lion Electric. “With reduced emissions and noise
pollution, these trucks will eliminate emissions in the communities
where they operate while saving on fleet costs, and
we look forward to growing our relationship with GMP in the
future.”
Because there is no combustion engine, like all EVs, there
are savings on maintenance and fuel – reducing maintenance
costs by up to 60 percent, and energy costs by up to 80 percent.
Additionally, the bucket truck and its auxiliary systems run entirely
off the vehicle’s battery pack, eliminating emissions and
noise pollution. The line truck has a range of 130 miles, and the
stake truck can go 200 miles on a charge.
The grant will also help customers through the purchase of
two bi-directional fast chargers for the trucks. This provides
charging convenience, plus the chargers’ two-way energy flow
means when the trucks are plugged in and not in use, GMP
can tap into the stored energy in their batteries during peak
energy use times on the grid. This helps reduce demand and
costs when energy is most expensive for customers. The two
vehicle-to-grid (V2G) chargers are expected to generate more
than $135,000 in savings for customers, building on GMP’s
earlier work with V2G, using stored energy in a Nissan Leaf
for peak energy reduction.
To learn more about the work GMP is doing to make it easier
than ever to convert to an electric vehicle, check out information
at greenmountainpower.com.
