Pittsburgh, PA (December 16, 2024) - PITT OHIO, a leader in transportation, warehouse and logistics services, is proud to announce that it is on the brink of achieving a significant milestone: 100,000 all-time electric miles driven. This achievement underscores the company's steadfast commitment to sustainability and innovation in the transportation industry.

Taki Darakos, Vice President of Vehicle Maintenance at PITT OHIO, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, "Reaching 100,000 electric miles is a testament to our pursuit of eco-friendly solutions and our dedication to reducing our carbon footprint. This milestone demonstrates our leadership in the industry and our commitment to a sustainable future."

Patrick Linden, Sustainability Specialist at PITT OHIO, added, "Not many, if any, carriers in our region and of our size have reached this milestone. It is a significant achievement that highlights our innovative approach to sustainability and our continuous efforts to integrate electric vehicles into our fleet. Reaching 100,000 electric miles driven means we have avoided 112 tons of carbon dioxide emissions, which is equivalent to the annual emissions of around 28 average American households.”

Mike Todd, PITT OHIO’s Cleveland Terminal Manager, said, "Our drivers in Cleveland are thrilled to be behind the wheel of our electric battery vehicles. They are not only excited about the advanced technology, but also proud to be part of an initiative that prioritizes environmental sustainability. This enthusiasm is driving us forward as we continue to innovate and expand our electric fleet."

As PITT OHIO approaches this milestone, the company remains focused on expanding its electric vehicle fleet and furthering its contributions to a cleaner environment. This accomplishment is just one of many steps PITT OHIO is taking to lead the transportation industry toward a more sustainable future.
