These zero-emission vehicles are tailored for campus maneuverability, allowing maintenance crews to access tight spaces efficiently while eliminating tailpipe pollutants and reducing noise. The shift not only prevents over 3.8 metric tonnes of CO2 emissions annually but also offers substantial long-term savings on fuel and maintenance. Branded with Green Fund stickers, these vehicles serve as mobile symbols of NAU\u2019s operational commitment to sustainability, visibly demonstrating the feasibility of clean transportation to the entire campus community.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<!-- shortcode-column -->\n<div class=\"shortcode-column shortcode-column--count-2\">\n    \n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-uncropped-large wp-image-1619\" src=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/136\/2020\/06\/IMG_4929-600x450.jpg\" alt=\"mini recycling truck on campus\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/136\/2020\/06\/IMG_4929-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/136\/2020\/06\/IMG_4929-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/136\/2020\/06\/IMG_4929-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/136\/2020\/06\/IMG_4929-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/136\/2020\/06\/IMG_4929-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/136\/2020\/06\/IMG_4929-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/136\/2020\/06\/IMG_4929-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/136\/2020\/06\/IMG_4929-464x348.jpg 464w, https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/136\/2020\/06\/IMG_4929-232x174.jpg 232w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h5>Project Lead:<\/h5>\n<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\">Kelly Pellegrino<\/span><\/p>\n<h5>Project Advisor<\/h5>\n<p>Avi Henn<\/p>\n<h5>Date:<\/h5>\n<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\">10\/27\/2023<\/span><\/p>\n<h5>Funding Amount:<\/h5>\n<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\">$160,989.57<\/span><\/p>\n<h5>Department:<\/h5>\n<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\">Facility Services\/Office of Sustainability<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Supporting Documents<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2198,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","ring_central_script_selection":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-5422","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5422","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2198"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5422"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5422\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5423,"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5422\/revisions\/5423"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5422"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
