Schneider expands electric fleet with new terminal tractors
Summary
The Lonestar S22 electric terminal tractors, which replaced two diesel units, are used to move trailers at Schneider’s Rancho Cucamonga, California, cross dock. “Implementing these tractors is a massive achievement as we move toward operating zero-emission vehicles at scale,” said Schneider Vice President of Equipment Engineering Jake VandeLoo. When charging is performed on breaks and shift changes in the yard, “range anxiety” and other infrastructure complications associated with over the road vehicles are eliminated.” Schneider’s collaboration with Lonestar is another essential investment to support the company’s long-term sustainability goals and continuous growth of their electric fleet, now one of the largest in North America, to better the industry and the environment. Starting Thursday, Aug. 10, newly installed technology will be checking trucks to be sure they are within legal weight limits on a portion of one of New York Citys major highways. Musket Corp., the trading and logistics arm of the Loves Family of Companies, has added an additional diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) terminal to its portfolio.
