Maintenance costs for the <br />vehicles scheduled for replacement currently average approximately $17,500 per vehicle <br />annually, excluding fuel and internal labor costs. Several units have exceeded their powertrain <br />warranty periods and are beginning to experience significant drivetrain and mechanical <br />failures. <br /> <br />This purchase also supports California’s Zero-Emission Vehicle (ZEV) initiative, which <br />establishes long-term goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by transitioning public fleets <br />to low- and zero-emission vehicles. <br /> <br />Table 2.
