“We are very selective about who we choose to work with as channel partners,” said Steve Funk, President of Vanner. “From the very beginning, we were very impressed not only by the overall durability of eNow’s solar panels, but also their ability to generate far more energy than any other comparable solution. As hybrid and electric buses continue to be widely adopted worldwide, we see our work with eNow as an important step forward for the bus industry with solutions that save both money and the environment.”
eNow’s solar solutions for the transportation market continue to develop momentum.
