ATCEMS has just become green with the help of Stealth Power. Green-powered electrical systems have just taken over the vehicles of the Austin-Travis County EMS department through the newest collaboration with Stealth Power. This innovative partnership has opened the door to new economical, and ecological developments for the City of Austin. Stealth Power has distributed 21 power systems into the fleets of ATCEMS, along with 5 more on the way. Stealth Power's green powered technology systems allow for the ATCEMS vehicles to maintain full power while the vehicle is turned off; this ecological development aids in the reduction of fuel consumption and green house gas emissions. "We were looking for ways to save money and reduce energy use,” said EMS Chief of Staff James Shamard, "this partnership with Stealth Power has opened the door to new economical and ecological breakthroughs for EMS and the City of Austin." These highly innovative energy advances support the City of Austin’s Green Initiatives to improve the environment by:
- Reducing fuel consumption
- Diminishing the rate of green house gas emissions
- Providing an alternative green powered energy system
This Friday, June 5th, is the 41st annual celebration of World Environment Day: a day to raise global awareness to take green initiatives in order to preserve and improve the environment.
