The Terex Utilities Sustainability Committee has taken a significant step toward environmental stewardship by donating a variety of trees to Codington County Memorial Park in South Dakota. Additionally, spruce trees were planted at the Terex Utilities facility in Watertown. This effort highlights Terex's commitment to bolstering local ecosystems and supporting community green spaces.
The company’s sustainability initiatives extend beyond tree planting. Terex Utilities has developed several eco-friendly solutions, including the HyPower SmartPTO by Viatec and an all-electric bucket truck, which help utility companies reduce carbon emissions by allowing aerial devices to operate without idling truck engines.
“Today, hybrid and electric bucket trucks from Terex Utilities are working across the United States, Canada, and expanding into other international markets,” said Joe Caywood, director of commercial operations for Terex Utilities. “In the same way that utilities are reducing emissions in the communities where they work with this equipment, the tree planting effort is one of many steps Terex is taking to lead the industry in sustainable practices.”
Terex Utilities remains dedicated to enhancing environmental stewardship and supporting the communities where it operates through ongoing sustainability efforts.
“We want to thank the Codington County Conservation District for their help with this project,” said Alicia Haich, Terex Utilities Sustainability Champion. “They assisted our committee with local tree recommendations, tree placement, and facilitated the donation to Memorial Park.”
