“ATCO Electric is again demonstrating industry leadership as we continuously explore new and innovative ways to reduce our impact on the environment,” said Sett Policicchio, president, ATCO Electric at the unveiling ceremony. “With Alberta’s first hybrid utility truck, we will reduce our carbon footprint without compromising the safe, reliable service our customers expect and count on.”

With an enclosed work platform, or bucket, fitted at the end of a hinged arm extended during aerial maintenance and repair operations, the environmentally progressive vehicle will be deployed in Grande Prairie: an urban setting that faces diverse weather conditions.

ATCO Electric is a US-based provider of safe, reliable delivery of electricity.
