It isrepresentative of the way Modo has been able to extend affordable use of avehicle to an ever-increasing number of people and families in 25municipalities across BC. And it illustrates our commitment to transitioningour fleet to zero emission and thereby even further minimizing theenvironmental harm associated with the use of vehicles,” says Nangle.
The 1,000thcar is a Hyundai IONIQ 5 EV and will be located at 410 West Georgia Street, incooperation with our developer partner Westbank. While Modo’s fleet currentlyconsists of over 30% hybrid or electric vehicles, the goal is to reach a zero emissionfleet by 2030.
