Time Warner Cable adds 540 Ford F-150s to Its fleet

(September 3, 2015) DEARBORN, Mich. — Time Warner Cable is the latest company to add the 2015 Ford F-150 to its fleet — purchasing more than 540 trucks built by America’s truck leader.

Time Warner Cable (TWC) chose F-150 as the vehicle best suited to continue to build a work-ready, energy-saving fleet that achieves greater levels of sustainability, environmental efficiency and lower operating costs.

TWC’s fleet drivers will use the trucks to transport equipment for installing and servicing Internet, TV and phone services to its customers’ homes and businesses. The company, based in New York City, is the nation’s second largest cable broadband firm. TWC says it selected Ford F-150 for its work-ready capability and multiple energy-efficient technologies.

 “Time Warner Cable is committed to reducing our impact on the environment,” said George Survant, senior director, Fleet Management, Time Warner Cable. “The Ford F-150 is another way to help us achieve our sustainability goals. Energy and fuel efficiency are very important to us as we continue our efforts to ensure the TWC fleet is environmentally friendly.”

TWC has added more than 400 diesel Ford Transit vans and 200 Transit Connect vans to its fleet in recent years. The Transit vans achieved an estimated 47 percent improvement in fuel economy.

TWC received accreditation from the NAFA Fleet Management Association as a NAFA Sustainable Fleet for successfully demonstrating the progress made toward reducing total emissions and the negative environmental impact made by extraneous carbon fuel usage. TWC was also recently announced as a finalist in the US Chamber of Commerce Foundation 2015 Corporate Citizenship Awards for Best Environmental Stewardship Program.
