Xos has secured a purchase order for 30 of its 100% battery-electric stepvans from global uniform and linen rental services company Alsco Uniforms. The 30 vehicles will be split and deployed across several of Alscoâs California laundry processing facilities as follows: nine vehicles to Santa Rosa, nine vehicles to San Jose, seven vehicles to San Francisco, three vehicles to Concord, and two vehicles to Los Angeles.
âWeâre thrilled to add Alsco to the Xos ecosystem and expand our footprint within the uniform and linen services industry,â said Jose Castañeda, Vice President of Business Development at Xos.
In its most recent sustainability report, Alsco Uniforms outlined its latest efforts and results in building a more sustainable business, including a reduction of water use by 50% over the last 10 years, the elimination of paper waste by implementing an online account management system, and an investment in American-made fabrics with life cycles of up to 80% longer than imported linens.
âWe are thrilled to add the Xos stepvans to our nationwide fleet,â said Tim Stuewer, Director of Operations Support at Alsco. âThe move to fleet electrification is an important pillar of our ESG initiative. Weâve been impressed by the vehicles that Xos has built and weâre looking forward to using them to make uniform, linen, floor mat, first aid and restroom supply deliveries to our many customers in California.â
