The transition to switching to zero-emission vehicles should be interesting

Is the trucking ecosystem effectively capturing and amplifying the tacit and explicit knowledge necessary to smoothly electrify transport? While I appreciate a good dashboard full of operational data (like NACFE's Run On Less), I can't help but wonder if we're overlooking the important details – the real-world experiences, the gut feelings, the "aha!" moments – that could accelerate the transition to electric trucks. Some of these are currently only well captured in one-on-one conversations, which though rich in detail can be quite a challenge to capture. Imagine if we had a treasure trove of stories alongside the data. Not just "what went right/wrong," but the human side of the trials. The range anxiety anecdotes, the unexpected triumphs, the lessons learned the hard way. We need to capture and share these narratives, because the transition is not just a technological transition but a socio-technical one. But where? Do we have a dedicated service, platform or even technology for this yet? I'm curious to hear your thoughts in the comments. Is there a need for a centralized hub where we can gather, discuss, and learn from the experience of those leading the transition? And if so, what would it look like?

The Path to net zero carbon

In this article, we will explore the growing trend of zero-emission trucks and the impact it is having on the transportation industry, not just in California, but across the nation. LEARN MORE HERE: https://lnkd.in/gt5k6ZPE #LabworksUSABlog #ZeroEmissionTrucks

If large fleets are struggling to adapt to transportation’s carbon-free future, how will smaller trucking fleets keep up with federal regulations set to take effect in less than three years?

How are you right-sizing your fleet? If you aren’t consistently monitoring your fleet and making adjustments, you could end up with a large number of unused vehicles, tying up valuable cash in depreciating assets. Fleet Science expert Brent Pietroski discusses the best approach to right-sizing (and other cost containment measures) in our latest Fleet Studies Lab article: https://bit.ly/47KPEd2 #ContainingFleetCosts #FleetCosts #RightSizing

Detailed study of the cost of transitioning America's trucking fleets to electric. Read findings below:

Electrification is not just about the environment… Yes, that’s a big part of it. But the more sustainable tech innovation we see, the more it’s proving to simply be better tech. Let’s take the electrification of fleets as an example. The US Department of Energy estimates that electrified fleets can eliminate breakdowns by more than 70% when paired with good Fleet Management Software. Think about operating a fleet of dozens of heavy-duty trucks and having real-time data on all of them with pinpoint accuracy. Anything from battery usage and temperature to motor and electrical system functions. That sounds like the future, and the future sounds amazing. Read about how to make that future a reality in Prologis Mobility's latest white paper. #evfleets #electrification
