Fleet Transportation

Norfolk State University will promote sustainable transportation options, including public transit, bike-sharing, and electric vehicle infrastructure. Norfolk State University encourages reducing reliance on single-occupancy vehicles and investing in alternative, eco-friendly transportation methods. Electric vehicle (EV) charging stations will be integrated into campus infrastructure, alongside expanding green spaces and walkable paths. Transportation initiatives will help reduce campus-wide emissions and traffic congestion. Encouraging sustainable mobility is critical to reducing the university’s transportation-related carbon footprint

  • Fleet Electrification 

Norfolk State University (NSU) which focused on the feasibility and implementation of alternative fuel vehicle adoption (encompassing full battery electric vehicles (EV), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles(PHEV), and hybrid electric vehicles (HEV). By adding Level 1 - GEM carts to the transportation Fleet at NSU has reduced greenhouse gasses on campus and in the greater Norfolk region. 

  • By adding alternative fuel vehicle adoption (encompassing full battery electric vehicles (EV), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV), and hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), Level 1 - GEM cart to the transportation Fleet NSU will create a Cumulative Savings $318,816 Over 5 Years and a Cumulative Carbon Savings 376,380 lbs. Over 5 Years

  • Hybrid Fueled Vehicles - NSU Police Cruiser Vehicles

Police vehicles spend a lot of time idling on the job. The NSU Police Cruiser Vehicles will in the future undergo a upgrade that makes the standard hybrid powertrain ideal for NSU law enforcement. On-board electrical equipment can be powered using the lithium-ion hybrid battery, allowing the gasoline engine to shut off – running only intermittently to charge the battery. The standard Intelligent AWD drivetrain provides improved handling stability and traction in all driving conditions. It also offers significant improvements in fuel economy and reduced engine idle, along with across-the-board improvements in performance and capability.
