From storing renewable energy stocks to tapping high-voltage transmission lines, the juice to power electric trucks has to come from somewhere.
A bigger-displacement natural gas-powered engine from Cummins could prompt fleets to switch from diesel in pursuit of lower emissions.
Shell chose the Advanced Clean Transportation Expo to talk up diesel-powered freight efficiency. An odd choice of venue — or was it?
Three years after winning an exemption to use cameras instead of ungainly outside mirrors on semi-trucks, Stoneridge Inc. is winning over fleets.
The Department of Energy’s SuperTruck 3 earmarks $100 million to expand electric heavy-duty truck concepts to lower emissions.
Here’s a look at whether deploying electric trucks makes sense for your company.
Hydrogen-powered fuel cells always seem to be five or 10 years from a meaningful presence on the transportation stage. That may finally be changing.
The North American Council for Freight Efficiency will focus on electric vehicles for its third Run on Less demonstration, an exploration of what works and what needs work in the battery-electric commercial vehicle space.
The varied duty cycles of regional haul trucks doesn’t prioritize fuel savings – the second-largest operating expense – according to the North American Council for Freight Efficiency.
NACFE is kicking off a three-year project as it digs deeper into electric truck opportunities in regional haul.
Electric trucks in big numbers are still years away, but interest among truck makers and fleets is widespread and growing.
The study looked at 85 different technologies that can help drive fuel efficiency.
The electrification of commercial trucks is edging closer but the industry first must go through a “messy middle” that sorts out the future of diesel and other alternative fuels.
The power and fuel efficiency of truck engines continue to rise as their size and weight shrink.
With diesel fuel powering 97% of all heavy-duty trucks, it seems silly to predict its industry dominance will end. But don’t tell that to California where the good can be the enemy of the great.
Solar power may not be the cure-all for reducing fuel costs, but it can provide assistance and achieve payback in relatively short time if used in the right applications.
The North American Council for Freight Efficiency provided more details into its Run on Less challenge from last fall that showed a real-world truck could achieve 10 mpg.
