This morning, council partners are gathering at Indiana Furniture in Jasper (Dubois County) to enjoy a plant tour, an introduction to the company and a discussion on infrastructure - featuring the Indiana Department of Transportation and AECOM talking about EV infrastructure readiness and a look into what the Center for Electrified and Automated Trucking (Purdue University) has to say about technology challenges and opportunities in trucking.
