PenLight Clean Energy car at a gas station.During National Drive Electric Week we would like to raise awareness of the many benefits of all-electric and plug-in hybrid cars, trucks, motorcycles, and more. They are fun to drive, less expensive, and more convenient to fuel than gasoline vehicles, better for the environment, promote local jobs, and reduce our dependence on foreign oil. Visit the Drive Electric website and enter your zip code to find in-person and online events.

Here at PenLight, we are celebrating by introducing the first electric vehicle (EV) to our fleet. We are excited to have an opportunity to learn about EVs firsthand and be a credible advisor to our members. In honor of National Clean Energy Week and National Drive Electric Week, we introduce PenLight’s EV.

Clean diesel is the new generation of diesel technology. Today’s cleaner diesel fuels, advanced engines, and effective emission controls combine to achieve near-zero emissions for fine particles and smog-forming compounds such as oxides of nitrogen. Along with supporting a healthy environment, PenLight’s use of clean diesel will help improve engine efficiency and keep fleet maintenance costs down.
