To demonstrate the efficacy of battery electric vehicles in large numbers in commercial applications, in September 2023 NACFE held Run on Less – Electric DEPOT (RoL-E DEPOT).
The report outlines the challenges of interconnecting charging infrastructure for trucks and buses at scale, and details ten recommendations for lawmakers, utility regulators, and utilities to ensure distribution grids are prepared for this new load.
This dashboard explores trucking electrification potential in Advanced Clean Truck states. Trucking telematics data is from Geotab ITS. Health metrics are from EPA's COBRA tool.
The study leads to insights and recommendations to help utilities, policymakers, and the transportation industry decarbonize fleet vehicles.
This analysis offers insights into key trends driving growth in this market, as well as opportunities to further accelerate this growth that can help inform policymakers, original equipment manufacturers, and fleet owners.
Cold weather range loss for electric vehicles is real. However, that has not stopped chilly cities from deploying electric buses and trucks. To counteract cold weather range loss, fleets have taken advantage of technological advances in electric trucks and buses and have employed mitigation and adaptation strategies. This fact sheet discuses on-the-ground success of pre-heating the interior and battery, strategic planning and adaptation, more efficient heating technology, and longer ranges with newer vehicles.
Transitioning to electric freight vehicles offers corporate shippers and carriers one of the best opportunities to mitigate their emissions while reducing the demand for oil in the U.S. transportation sector. The following sections outline the national and economic security, environmental, health, equity, and cost-saving benefits of shifting the transportation sector from oil to electric-based.
Governments, policymakers, businesses, and utilities will need to work together closely to realize the full potential of the IRA. RMI’s report How Policy Actions Can Spur EV Adoption in the United States, provides stakeholders with the analysis they need to make data-informed decisions, detailing the challenges facing IRA implementation and ways forward.
Zero-Emission Trucks: The Facts provides a concise overview of the state of zero-emission freight vehicles in the U.S., including industry demand, supply, and benefits.
This paper demonstrates who is at risk from diesel trucks serving warehouses. It summarizes the new science about health impacts from air pollution generated by these trucks, and it also points to available solutions that can protect community health.
