Ontario International Airport has put its first zero-emission fleet vehicle into service, a fully electric truck built by ZO Motors USA in Fontana and unveiled by the Ontario International Airport Authority Board of Commissioners. The unit will handle logistics, facilities maintenance and transport tasks, including temperature-sensitive materials, while the airport links the purchase to a county grant that covered the full cost.
The truck extends a broader decarbonisation programme that already includes electric shuttle buses, public transit integration through ONT Connect, recycled materials in capital works, reclaimed water for irrigation, cleaner-equipment incentives for partners, waste diversion and electric gate systems that cut jet-fuel use. For operators, the move signals a shift from pilot sustainability projects to fleet-level electrification with direct operating cost implications.
