The centre, being built on GE’s campus in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, is scheduled to open in Spring 2012 and will enable customers to experience electric cars and trucks from a variety of manufacturers first-hand and analyse vehicle performance, driver experiences, service requirements and operational efficiencies with GE fleet experts. The centre will also eventually feature alternative fuel vehicles powered by other energy sources.
“Electric vehicles have the potential to solve some of the world’s toughest transportation challenges, and the centre we are building will be a tremendous resource as we continue to educate our customers about the benefits of this technology,” said Deb Frodl, chief strategy officer for GE Capital Fleet Services and global EV leader for GE.
