Eight fleets sign on to latest NACFE electric truck vision quest
Summary
Eight fleets this fall will kickoff the North American Council for Freight Efficiency’s (NACFE) and RMI’s Run on Less – Electric Depot (RoL-E Depot), an effort that focuses on the scaling of electric trucks across a variety of market segments. Frito-Lay, based from Queens, New York, is the lone participant outside zero emissions ground zero California. Thats fitting considering that of the 1,895 Class 2B-8 zero emission trucks deployed as of March 2022, 60% operate in California, according to NACFE. “Our goal with this event was to showcase fleets that are now deploying 15 or more trucks and we had hoped to have a wider geographic representation,” noted Dave Schaller, NACFE’s director of industry engagement. The other seven fleets, each hailing from the Golden State, include OKProduce in Fresno; Penske in Ontario; Pepsi Beverages in Sacramento; Performance Team Logistics in Commerce; Schneider in South El Monte; UPS in Compton; and WattEV in Long Beach.
