FORT WORTH, TX–(Marketwired – Dec 10, 2013) – Good Earth Energy Conservation, Inc., a subsidiary of Numbeer, Inc. (OTCQB: NUMB) and provider of electric fleet vehicles for the essential services market, announced today it has received a purchase order for one Firefly® Essential Service Vehicle (ESV) from the City of Berkeley, California.
The made-in-the-USA 3-wheeled energy efficient Firefly® is scheduled for delivery to Berkeley in the first quarter of 2014. This marks the first Firefly® purchase by the City of Berkeley, which will use the electric vehicle for parking enforcement. Berkeley currently has approximately 50 vehicles in its parking enforcement fleet.
This sale was made through one of Good Earth Energy Conservation’s growing network of dealers, Santa Clara, California-based Turf and Industrial Equipment Company. “This purchase order from the City of Berkeley is another indicator of the interest we are seeing for the Firefly® in Northern California. We currently have an installed base of customers throughout our region and once we present the economic and environmental benefits of the Firefly® to our customers, we’re seeing immediate interest in purchases. We expect to sell a lot more Firefly® ESVs in the future. They make economic sense for the customer,” stated John Matheny, President of Turf and Industrial Equipment Company.
Based on usage estimates and relative fuel prices for service vehicles, the Firefly® can create annual cost savings of $8,000 – $10,000, as compared to the cost of using a conventional gas-powered vehicle.
“Berkeley is committed to sustainable energy and development. We look forward to integrating the zero-emissions Firefly® into our parking enforcement fleet to reduce our city’s operating costs and improve our energy efficiency,” commented Noel Pinto, Parking Enforcement Manager, City of Berkeley.
Good Earth Energy Conversation CEO James Emmons added, “Parking enforcement is a usage application which our Firefly® meets perfectly. Municipalities use parking enforcement vehicles an average of 40 hours per week. Traditional gas powered vehicles are burning fuel at a national cost average of over $3.50 per gallon, while emitting carbon dioxide, and causing wear and tear on the vehicles, which will require more service and maintenance, thus creating constantly rising operating costs. The Firefly® has fewer moving parts, requires less maintenance, is a zero emissions electric vehicle and costs less than $.02 per mile to operate.”
