Partnership to Electrify Turner Fleet

Turner has secured an equipment package that includes all-electric trucks and zero-emission power systems. Turner will use the rental equipment for construction of a data center in Kansas City, MO.

The equipment package includes the all-electric, zero-emissions Ford F-150 Lightning pickup truck with a range of up to 320 miles and a maximum towing capacity of 10,000 pounds in addition to a 9.6-kilowatt pro power onboard generator system.

“Turner is committed to leading the challenge of decarbonizing construction and working with innovative partners like United Rentals. These solutions allow us to demonstrate how the future of construction will look,” Bill Hassel, data center program sustainability manager at Turner Construction, said. “The ability to test cutting-edge electric vehicles, such as the F-150 Lightning, on a real-world construction site will provide valuable information on how electrifying construction equipment will help reduce emissions while driving productivity.”

“Turner and United Rentals are both committed to building a better future, which was a catalyst for our collaboration to drive eco-conscious changes on construction jobsites,” Craig Schmidt, vice president of national accounts at United Rentals, said. “We look forward to continuing to partner with Turner on innovative, sustainable solutions that contribute to a safer, healthier environment.”
