Commercial HVAC Fleet Taps XL Hybrids for Efficiencies, Reduced Emissions

A leading HVAC provider has turned to XL Hybrids to reduce fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions while servicing Chicagoland facilities.

The solution has been the installation of XL3 Hybrid Electric Drive systems in service vans for Climatemp Service Group,  which services over 450 commercial and industrial facilities throughout the metropolitan Chicago area.

“We serve as our customers’ eyes and ears regarding their heating and cooling equipment, providing them with expert advice for more than 60 years,” said Paul Szymczak, general manager of Climatemp Service Group. “Thanks to XL Hybrids, we’re now able to deliver on our promise in a greener, cleaner way. We expect XL Hybrids’ technology to enhance our fleet’s fuel efficiency, and reduce carbon dioxide emissions.”

Climatemp’s four new Chevy Express vans are also equipped with XL Hybrids’ XL Link™ cloud-based fleet vehicle connectivity and analytics system. XL Link measures MPG performance, fuel savings and CO2 reduction to confirm the XL3 hybrid system is delivering a return on investment and enhancing clients’ sustainability initiatives.

According to Clay Siegert, co-founder and chief operating officer of XL Hybrids, “Since our XL3 system requires no driver training, no special plugs, or charging or fueling infrastructure, the Climatemp team can focus even more on their customers – and spend less time at the gas pump.”

The XL3 Hybrid Electric Drive System saves fuel through regenerative braking, a process by which the electric motor helps slow the vehicle when the driver brakes, charging the battery. When the driver accelerates, the battery releases the energy to the electric motor, helping propel the vehicle.
