PROJECT SPOTLIGHT!
Tennessee's First Electric Vehicle Fleet Case Studies, in partnership, with East Tennessee State University's Masters of Business Administration program
|
|
In early 2020, DriveElectricTN (DET) project leaders began developing their initiatives and programs for 2020-2021 using a multi-year strategy, called the DET Roadmap that was created and published in 2019 by various stakeholders.
From the strategy, an EV task force team developed, from the Opportunity Area AWARENESS, that focused on Fleet case studies. East Tennessee State University M.B.A. students were asked by DET task force leaders to produce Tennessee's first Electric Vehicle (EV) Fleet Case study. The work began in May 2020 and will be completed by May 2021. This will also be the first DET working partnership with students at a university system.

"We are incredibly fortunate to have this opportunity to work with Dr. Bill Heise, E.T.S.U.'s M.B.A. Program Director and his students," said Virginia Salazar Buda, DET Coordinator. "Our task force team members are looking forward to this first-time experience working with university students where they'll have a unique opportunity to get a real-world working experience through this project," concluded Salazar Buda.
The students at E.T.S.U. will be creating Fleet case studies for Chattanooga Area Regional Transportation Authority (CARTA) and Tennessee's first EV school bus in Washington County.
