    "BP is aiming to speed up electrification in the fast-growing fleet segment, which is key to lowering emissions from the transport sector - the largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions in the United States," said Richard Bartlett, senior vice president, future mobility and solutions at BP.

    Under the terms of the agreement, AMPLY Power will continue to operate independently as part of BP's global portfolio of businesses.
