A new LEED-certified full-service Penske Truck Leasing facility has opened its doors in Akron, Ohio.
As a LEED-certified state-of-the-art facility, it indicates that it is a Leader in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), which Penske achieved via its environmentally sustainable building design, construction, and operation.
“Our sustainability efforts are an integral part of our day-to-day operations,” explained Luke DeCesare, the Vice President of the Great Lakes area for Penske Truck Leasing. “Opening our first full-service truck leasing facility with LEED certification is an example of our organization’s commitment to being good neighbors and stewards of the environment.”
Located at 937 E Waterloo Road, in Akron, the new facility provides consumer and commercial truck rental, full-service truck leasing, and contract truck fleet maintenance.
The Penske facility is also outfitted with the company’s proprietary fully digital and voice-directed preventive maintenance process and digital experience solutions—all of which help its customers leverage Penske technology as well as options related to onboard technology systems such as ELDs, telematics, onboard cameras, and more.
At 23,816 square feet and sitting on 9.85 acres, the facility enhances Penske’s ability to efficiently serve its customers as well as employees and supports strategic growth throughout the region.
It features four pull-through service bays plus an automatic truck wash bay, and a full-service fuel area offering diesel, diesel exhaust fluid, and gasoline.
With 60 associates at the new facility, Penske said that it is hiring truck technicians, management trainees, customer service representatives, and recruiters, both locally and nationwide.
