Sustainability Meets Innovation: Exploring Electric Vehicles with S&B USA Building PA Podcast
In this episode of the Building PA Podcast, co-hosts Jon O’Brien and Chris Martin welcome back Eido Almog, the Director of Strategy and Business Development for S&B USA. We dive into the exciting topic of electrification in the construction industry, specifically focusing on e-fleets and electric vehicles.
Eido shares insights about S&B USA, a global infrastructure and construction company based in Israel, and its recent electric vehicle pilot program. He discusses the motivations behind their shift towards electrification, highlighting both environmental benefits and cost-effectiveness. Eido emphasizes the importance of data collection in understanding emissions and usage patterns, revealing that most of their emissions come from on-road vehicles rather than heavy construction equipment.
