Dallas Selects Ford Pro To Advance the City's EV Charging Infrastructure

The City of Dallas - America’s fourth-largest metro area - has selected Ford’s commercial division, Ford Pro, to help electrify its vehicle fleet by 2040. They have entered a 10-year agreement to grow and manage EV charging infrastructure for the city’s fleet operations.

As part of the agreement, Dallas will install Ford Pro chargers at its worksites and use Ford Pro smart charging software to customise and manage EV charging performance.

Through the integrated software and hardware solution, Dallas can help ensure its fleet vehicles are charged optimally and ready for work when they need them.

Ford Pro delivers a connected customer experience through a suite of solutions including vehicles, charging, software, financing, and service for all commercial and government customers.

The US government has called for most federal vehicle purchases to be zero-emission vehicles by 2035.

Ford Pro CEO, Ted Cannis, says: “EV adoption is on the rise with state and local government fleets, and we’re proud to provide smart charging software and hardware to help electrify one of the Lone Star State's biggest cities in one of America’s biggest metro areas. The impact software can have on EV charging can be substantial, helping public agencies like the City of Dallas not only manage charging infrastructure today, but help determine where chargers may be needed in the future.”

“The City of Dallas is committed to a clean, safe, and healthy environment, and we’re making great strides in our efforts to reduce emissions and improve air quality,” adds Dallas Mayor Eric L. Johnson. “This agreement with Ford Pro marks a significant milestone and will help our city avoid energy waste and save money on energy costs. We look forward to building upon our work with Ford Pro to further scale EV charging infrastructure and electrify our fleet operations to continue to serve our great city now and in the future.”

Ford is the leading global commercial vehicle brand and America’s best-selling line of commercial vehicles for 39 consecutive years.
