The Azure Balance Hybrid Electric vehicles ordered by Purolator are integrated on a Ford E450 chassis with a Ford 5.4L gasoline engine. The hybrid electric drive train which features unique attributes such as engine-off at idle and below 20 miles per hour, while electronically supporting key ancillary functions like power steering and braking, is suited for commercial activity in urban environments.
Purolator operates a fleet of 3,500 vehicles and is the recent recipient of the Logistics Quarterly Third-Party Logistics Sustainability Award. In 2005, Purolator was the first express transportation company in Canada to introduce hybrid electric vehicles.
