As a Charter Member, Penske will hold a permanent seat on the
Board of Directors. Paul Rosa, Senior Vice President of Procurement
and Fleet Planning from Penske will fill the Board seat.
“We’re pleased to join PACT and to support the ongoing dialogue
about a sensible approach to ZEVs, fleet electrification, and the
infrastructure investments needed to realistically support the
trucking industry in the future,” said Art Vallely, President of
Penske Truck Leasing. “We have been at the forefront of testing and
running ZEV options, advising fleet customers on their use, and
building charging infrastructure. Our nation requires a commonsense
regulatory approach to be successful with this energy transition as
well as more infrastructure investment to support the critical
needs of the trucking industry which moves approximately 80 percent
of all goods in the U.S.”
A leading fleet operator, Penske currently operates and
maintains a fleet of more than 445,800 vehicles across its
businesses in North America on behalf of itself and its
customers.
“Penske is a tremendous asset to PACT. Its longstanding customer
relationships and deep understanding of fleet operational needs
will help close the knowledge gap that currently exists between the
utility and trucking sectors,” said Ritchie Huang, PACT Board
Member and Executive Manager for Government Affairs at Daimler
Truck North America. “We’re excited to have Penske’s involvement in
PACT and look forward to incorporating their perspective into our
strategic planning going forward.”
