DENVER, Colo., March 19, 2021 — Redmark, the foremost provider of advanced fuel vehicle services in the Rocky Mountain Region, formally launched its hybrid electric upfits and charging station services program for fleets in Q1 2021.
Redmark is a sales and installation partner with XL Fleet (NYSE:XL), an electric powertrain systems developer and leading provider of electrification technology for fleet vehicles. XL Fleet offers HEV (hybrid electric vehicle) and PHEV (plug-in hybrid electric vehicle) systems for models available from Ford, GM, and other OEMs. XL Fleet systems are installed in over 4,000 fleet vehicles in North America, with more than 145 million miles of use to-date.
All upfit vehicles go through the same intensive, quality-controlled upfit process regardless of the OEM. Each vehicle is fully warrantied, with combined support from the fuel system developer, upfitter, and OEM. All Redmark upfit vehicles, whether hybrid electric, CNG, or LPG, arrive at the dealership fully supported and ready for work. Dealerships in partnership with Redmark offer complete warranty repair and maintenance services for modified vehicles. Redmark is also one of the first companies in the United States to receive an installer certificate from the Ford eQVM program. As a participant in both the Ford QVM and eQVM (qualified vehicle modification) programs, Redmark upfits low-emissions natural gas, propane, and hybrid electric systems onto new vehicles from Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F).
“While OEMs are now offering some hybrid vehicles factory-direct, Redmark is partnering with XL Fleet to offer hybrid and plug-in hybrid systems for many OEM platforms not available otherwise,” said Kris Kielty, president of Redmark. “An upfit hybrid electric vehicle can also have a large array of OEM options and after-market accessories added, which provides maximum flexibility for our fleet customers. We completed our first batch of PHEV upfits last fall and are now proud to have fully launched our hybrid electric program for fleets.”
In addition to upfits, Redmark now offers equipment selection, design, build, and maintenance services for fleet electric vehicle charging stations. Redmark is partnering with ChargePoint (NYSE:CHPT), a leading EV charging network, to assist fleets with a seamless transition to electric charging. ChargePoint’s cloud subscription platform and software-defined charging hardware is designed for every charging scenario including fleet. The modular package of cloud-based software, expandable hardware, and professional services ensures success at every stage of electrification – from design and implementation to energy optimization and mission-critical support. Through the ChargePoint network, drivers have access to more than 100,000 places to charge in North America and Europe. To date, over 89 million charges have been delivered on the network, with a driver plugging in every two seconds.
Advanced fuel vehicles reduce criteria pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions, often beyond clean air requirements and climate change mitigation initiatives. The State of Colorado bid process for MY2021 fleet vehicles includes awards for vehicles with the Redmark-XL Fleet hybrid electric systems as well as Redmark CNG/RNG and LPG upfits. State and local government agencies can purchase these vehicles through select Rocky Mountain dealerships, such as Spradley Barr Greeley, in partnership with Redmark. Redmark is proud to offer reliable, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly solutions for fleets across all sectors.
