Great work and a great set of product offerings.
Electric trucks may be part of helping to make the #supplychain of the future more sustainable. The #logistics sector must continue to embrace modern tech, like EVs, to meet rising demand and create a more resilient and streamlined supply chain. #supplychaintech #EV #whiteglovedelivery #heavygoods
More progress is being made in the electrification of our transportation sector. The New York Times reports on a new coalition, Powering America’s Commercial Transportation (PACT), established by Daimler Truck North America, Navistar, Inc., and Volvo Group North America. The goal of PACT is to accelerate the construction of charging infrastructure for medium- and heavy-duty electric vehicles. Today's gas-powered commercial trucks account for nearly 25% of transportation-related CO2 emissions according to the EPA. We applaud the vision and the effort. It'll take all of us to advance our clean energy future. Read on: https://lnkd.in/eKQQVteg
🔌 ➡️ 🚚 A new nationwide initiative aims to build a #charging infrastructure for electric #trucks along major freight corridors across the U.S. What's the plan? Multiple federal agencies like the Office of #Energy and #Transportation combined forces to create a 15-year strategy that focuses on installing charging stations in 30+ freight hubs near major freight traffic areas, all within roughly 100 miles of each other. This isn't just about coverage; it's positioning for maximum efficiency. The National EV Freight Corridors aims to add stations within the average range of electric trucks, ensuring they can go the distance — literally. 🗓 ✅ Four-Phase Plan for Electric Freight Hubs: 1. Establish Hubs (2024-2027): Prioritizing high-volume freight areas for initial hub setup. 2. Connect Hubs (2027-2030): Linking these hubs along critical freight corridors to streamline clean freight movement. 3. Expand Connections (2030-2035): Broadening the network to initiate nationwide coverage. 4. National Network (2035-2040): Achieving a seamless, zero-emission freight network across the country. With plans to electrify America's trucking fleet and a focus on not just the where, but the how, we're looking at a future where freight moves cleanly, efficiently, and sustainably. 🌟 🔋 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dc4XPMAH #CleanTransportation #ElectricTrucks #EVs #EVCharging

Whilst industry collaboration has driven significant progress in HGV electrification during the first half of 2024, the challenge remains substantial. As we approach the election, prioritising further investment and collaboration is key to scaling up the transition away from petrol and diesel HGVs and unlock a more sustainable future for British trucking. #fleetelectrification #evcharging #decarbonization #transport #logistics #emobility
When are we finally going to see the truck fleet electrification? We see hurdles in Australia similar to those in the US, including higher costs, limited charging infrastructure, maintenance challenges, longer refueling times, and payload limitations. To accelerate the transition, consider: -Leveraging Regulatory Incentives: Utilize tax credits and subsidies to offset costs. -Partnering with Industry Stakeholders: Collaborate for tailored solutions. -Selecting Suitable Routes and Loads: Optimize efficiency and productivity. -Strategic Planning: Consider regional regulations and operational needs. -Implementing Pilot Programs: Gather insights for broader adoption strategies. #ElectricTrucks #FleetElectrification #SustainableTransportation #GreenLogistics #FutureOfTransportation #kearney Kate Hart Dhananjay (DJ) Bajaj Vrajesh Shah Rob Harriss Chris Berry Rebecca Roberts (EngD) Michael Zimmerman

As the truck charging landscape evolves rapidly and we find ourselves at the forefront of this pioneering change towards greener solutions, we’re excited to open the floor to a crucial discussion: 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐤 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐞 𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞? 🚛🔋 Would the ability to reserve charging slots improve convenience and operational efficiency for route planning and drivers on the road, or would it rather disrupt your operations? 📅🔌And what would be crucial for this?

Shelley Simpson makes excellent points, and in addition to producing and sourcing electricity, there are several additional challenges to the path of electrification - battery technology for trucks, equipment costs, charger network, etc. And we are clearly not at the inflection point for this transition, in spite of all the wishful thinking. This doesn't mean that there's no electric future for the trucking industry, I think there are compelling use cases like yard tractors (to move trailers around in a yard/parking/intermodal settings. Also, I am heartened to see Hybrids back in discussion, as that would be the path of least resistance to electrify truck fleets. Just my 2 cents, great discussion Paul!

If J.B. Hunt were to electrify its entire fleet of trucks, it would require the electricity draw consumed by 1.4 million households – or 1% of the entire U.S. “Who’s willing to give their electricity up to power their home for us to charge our entire fleet?” That was the sobering question posed by Shelley Simpson, president of J.B. Hunt Transport Services, speaking at ACT Expo. “Imagine what it would take to power all the electric vehicles in the U.S., in addition to all the passenger vehicles.”
