Windsor, ON: ENWIN Utilities Ltd. (ENWIN) is powering up Windsor-Essex’s sustainable future with an announcement that will electrify the region:

Leading the Charge: ENWIN’s Electric Fleet Revolution

ENWIN is supercharging its commitment to sustainability, with an impressive 10% of its fleet now powered by electricity. This lineup includes: 

  • 1 state-of-the-art 55-foot electric bucket truck (one of the first in Canada)
  • 2 fully electric Ford E-Transit vans
  • 2 fully electric Ford Lightning F150 pickup trucks
  • 1 hybrid Chrysler Pacifica minivan
  • 6 hybrid Dodge Hornets

These vehicles will seamlessly integrate into the existing fleet, showcasing ENWIN’s dedication to efficiency, cost-savings, and environmental stewardship. 

Powering a Brighter Tomorrow: ENWIN’s Solar Rooftop 

ENWIN's commitment to clean energy extends beyond its vehicle fleet. The company recently unveiled a massive one-megawatt solar rooftop net metering facility at its Rhodes Drive headquarters. With over 3,000 solar panels, this installation – one of Canada's largest – generates enough clean electricity to power 300 homes annually.

Energizing Windsor-Essex’s Economic Future

As the region emerges as a hub for battery and electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing and innovation, ENWIN continues to support this rapidly evolving automobility sector, reinforcing Windsor-Essex’s position as a leader in sustainable industrial growth.

“ENWIN is focused on driving positive change,” says Garry Rossi, ENWIN’s President and CEO. “Our electric fleet acquisition and solar rooftop reflect our commitment to innovation and clean energy solutions. We’re proud to lead the charge, demonstrating that sustainability and functionality can go hand-in-hand.”

"It's fantastic to see these 12 new electric and hybrid fleet vehicles unveiled by ENWIN,” says City of Windsor Mayor Drew Dilkens. “As the Automotive and Automobility Capital of Canada, we are Building Windsor’s Future together by growing a sustainable and innovative economy that balances prosperity with a healthy environment.”
