You may spot two new pickup trucks on campus, but you won’t catch them at the gas station.
That’s because they’re the first vehicles in UWindsor’s Facilities and Operations fleet to be fully electric.
Marking a key milestone in the University’s sustainability journey, the two 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EVs will replace aging vehicles that have reached the end of their life cycle.
