Today, Investorideas.com is looking at the recent
news for electric vehicles and hydrogen/fuel cell transportation.
Lyft, Inc. (NASDAQ: LYFT) recently
released its green mission - Leading the Transition to Zero Emissions: Our Commitment to 100%
Electric Vehicles by 2030. On June!
7TH they released a passionate
and compelling case for a green automotive future saying, “The year 2020 will go down in history as an inflection
point for humankind. The challenges we face today, from the global climate
crisis that is ravaging our planet, to the global pandemic that is ravaging our
lives, to the global rage at injustice that is ravaging our communities, remind
us at once that we are human, and humans make choices.”
“The
COVID-19 pandemic has devastated economies around the world, caused
unimaginable heartbreak, loss and stress, and wreaked havoc on businesses large
and small, including here at Lyft. Yet amidst these extraordinary challenges,
one thing has become very clear: COVID-19 has presented us with a unique
challenge to rebuild our businesses and communities in ways that are better,
cleaner and more sustainable for the future.”
“At
Lyft, we made a choice. Rather than hunker down and ride out COVID-19, we chose
to stand up and accelerate our efforts to address the climate crisis. With
transportation recently overtaking electricity as the single largest source of planet-disrupting greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution in
the US and the second-largest source in Canada, we believe now is the time for Lyft to
lead a radical shift in strategy.”
“That’s
why today, Lyft – in collaboration with Environmental Defense Fund – is
announcing its commitment to reach 100% electric vehicles on the Lyft
platform by 2030. By working with drivers to transition to electric
vehicles, we have the potential to avoid tens of millions of metric tons of GHG
emissions to the atmosphere and to reduce gasoline consumption by more than a
billion gallons over the next decade.”
“Now
more than ever, we need to work together to create cleaner, healthier, and more
equitable communities,” said John Zimmer, co-founder and president, Lyft.
“Success breeds success, and if we do this right, it creates a path for
others. If other rideshare and delivery
companies, automakers and rental car companies make this shift, it can be the
catalyst for transforming transportation as a whole."
I
know PR departments put out a lot of B.S. statements, but I have to admit I liked
this one and it was believable in its context.
In other green auto news , Ballard Power Systems (NASDAQ: BLDP) ( TSX: BLDP) also announced news on June 17th
saying they that it has received
follow-on purchase orders for 15 of its 85-kilowatt heavy-duty FCveloCity®-HD
fuel cell modules from Wrightbus (www.wrightsgroup.com), a leading bus OEM and
Ballard partner headquartered in Northern Ireland, to power Fuel Cell Electric
Buses, or FCEBs, planned for deployment in the U.K. Wrightbus was recently
re-capitalized by Bamford Bus Company , after having gone into administration
last year.
Including the 15
modules announced today, Ballard currently has orders in-hand from Wrightbus
for a total of 50 modules to power FCEBs in the U.K., 35 of which were
previously announced in 2019. Of those 35 modules, 20 are to power buses
planned for deployment in London and 15 are for buses planned for deployment in
Aberdeen. Ballard expects to ship all 50 modules in 2020.
Thanks, that’s it for today. Do something good for this beautiful planet
each and every day.
