You can see Prairie Electric\u2019s work everywhere you go in Southwest Washington and Northwest Oregon.<\/p>\n
For more than 35 years, we\u2019ve helped power the region across a wide range of projects: the Faubion School at Concordia University; the Columbia Precast Products headquarters; and The Canyons<\/a> on North Williams Avenue in Portland \u2014 just to name a few.<\/p>\n Prairie works with both residential and commercial partners, as well as transportation and utility companies to provide world-class electrical services.<\/p>\n As the Pacific Northwest grows, so does Prairie Electric. So chances are you\u2019ll continue to see our trucks<\/a> and some of our 200-plus electricians out and about as we work on a variety of projects.<\/p>\n One of our most exciting endeavors, however, is less likely to be noticed \u2014 at first glance, anyway. That\u2019s because it takes place under the hood, so to speak.<\/p>\n Increasing numbers of electric vehicles cruise our nation\u2019s highways and byways. Thus, the market and infrastructure for these modern marvels are expanding.<\/p>\n Prairie\u2019s skilled Manufacturing Team is on the cutting edge of electric vehicle technology.<\/p>\n More and more manufacturers are introducing electric vehicles into their fleets to help keep the nation\u2019s businesses and economy rolling while reducing noise and greenhouse gas emissions. Prairie Electric builds wiring harnesses for these vehicles.<\/p>\n It\u2019s just one of the many electrical services we provide<\/a> for our clients.<\/p>\n Wire harnesses are sets of electrical wiring, connectors, and terminals that relay information and power to the innumerable devices on a contemporary vehicle. Modern vehicles have thousands of connections, and Prairie has the tools, equipment, and know-how to fabricate these complex and fascinating harnesses.<\/p>\n While wiring harnesses themselves are not new, the demand for their fabrication is growing. That demand provides a glimpse into an electric vehicle future<\/a> with applications across a wide range of industries \u2014 from commercial trucking and agriculture to aerospace and medicine.<\/p>\n For example, the trucking company Penske recently revealed that one of their electric trucks had already covered 10,000 miles.<\/p>\n As posted by the Associated Press<\/a>, Penske Logistics \u201csuccessfully logged more than 10,000 over-the-road miles making multiple, daily store deliveries on dedicated routes in Southern California for a leading quick-service restaurant chain using two, electric Freightliner Innovation Fleet Cascadias. The company believes it is the first truck fleet operator in the United States to achieve such a feat.\u201d<\/p>\n Finally, as more and more nations come online, the need for wiring harnesses for electric vehicles will increase as well.<\/p>\nPrairie Electric<\/b><\/h2>\n
