United Rentals, Inc. (NYSE:URI) is set to provide sustainable solutions, including all-electric trucks and zero-emission power systems, to Turner Construction.
Shares of this leading equipment rental company rose 5.2% in the trading session on Jul 19, 2022.
In this partnership, United Rentals will supply equipment package like the all-electric, zero-emissions Ford F-150 Lightning pickup truck, in addition to a 9.6 kilowatt Pro Power onboard generator system, to Turner.
Turner will utilize the rental equipment for construction of a data center of Meta, in Kansas City, MO, to lower the carbon footprint of the jobsite.
Both United Rentals and Turner have been proactively engaged in reducing the environmental impact of their operations. This latest agreement will eventually help United Rentals to locate other construction projects where emissions-saving solutions can be deployed to work toward net-zero jobsites.
Testing electric vehicles, such as the F-150 Lightning, on the construction site will deliver key information on how electrifying construction equipment will help reduce emissions while driving productivity.
