The electric truck revolution is happening, but scaling will take some time. The primary challenge to increasing the uptake of electric fleets is the need for viable technology to address longer journeys and heavier loads. However, more robust regulation and stronger industry collaboration can help overcome the infrastructure and cost parity hurdles. Electrification is one of the leading solutions to decarbonise much of the world’s transport, but heavy-duty fleets have always been a slight outlier due to the difficulties involved in developing technology that can meet its requirements. Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) have helped get electric trucks on the road, and now the focus should shift to the next innovations, regulations, and collaborations that will help keep them there. Achieving cost parity between battery-electric trucks and their diesel counterparts will be complex, and a total cost of ownership approach is vital. The shift to EVs will not happen overnight, but it is, in fact, happening; and a conducive policy environment is necessary to scale these innovations.

Battery-powered electric trucks are a sustainable alternative to combustion engine vehicles that bring improved operational efficiency and simplified maintenance. That said, there are a number of key challenges that stand in the way of their adoption. These challenges include charging infrastructure, the energy density of batteries and the need for specialised components that can withstand high voltages. In this article, we dive into battery-powered electric trucks and the technologies needed for their widespread use. https://hubs.ly/Q02cMRqC0

Einride, a freight mobility company focusing on digital, electric, and autonomous technology, announced the opening of its first US Einride Smartcharger Station in Lynwood, California, in Los Angeles County. The site is located near the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach along I-710, which handles 29% of all containerized international waterborne trade in the US. The site features 65 chargers with the capacity to charge up to 200 vehicles a day, making it what Einride calls the largest operational charging site for electric heavy-duty freight in North America. The site - built in collaboration with Voltera - will ensure electric fleets can integrate into day-to-day shipping operations while reducing congestion and driver wait time. The charging station currently serves Einride's connected electric fleets, including routes for A.P. Moller-Maersk. Einride plans to make the station available for future customers in order to bolster the freight ecosystem in Los Angeles County. The Lynwood Smartcharger Station is the first of many the company plans to build throughout the country, and it will serve a critical function in installing capacity to service the region connecting the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. Future stations are being pursued on both the West and East coasts, and construction is set to begin on new sites later in 2024.

Wrightbus CEO Jean-Marc Gales speaks to BBC News on the groundbreaking technology available to operators at NewPower UK. Jean-Marc shared: "This is for bus companies that want to decarbonise faster, but cannot afford the investment a new bus requires. We can decarbonise a bus within three weeks, and give it a second lease of life. The sweet spot is buses that are between five and nine years old. We give a 10-year warranty on that. We can also completely refurbish that bus here in Bicester." Wrightbus has become the first OEM to offer a re-powering service, utilising the unique skills of its 1,800-strong workforce to swap diesel for electricity, with unrivalled expertise in being able to swap powertrains.

The final report for the Battery Electric Truck Trial (BETT) has been released, marking a significant milestone in the journey towards sustainable freight transport. 🚛🔋 The final report showcases the incredible progress made during the 18-month trial, which involved deploying 20 rigid eTrucks on 9 public sector fleets across England. It provides valuable insights into the factors affecting the range of electric vehicles, the experience of truck drivers and fleet managers, the business case of eTrucks, and the life cycle assessment. The report is an inspiration to all those who are committed to the development of sustainable transportation solutions that benefit the environment and society as a whole.

Greenlane is gearing up to build its very first electric vehicle charging route for commercial trucks. Here's what you need to know: -Greenlane, Daimler Truck North America, NextEra Energy Resources, and BlackRock joined forces to create this venture. -The first charging corridor will be along Interstate 15 in Southern California. Initial Locations: -The charging sites will start in Colton, Barstow, and Baker. -Greenlane's CEO, Patrick Macdonald-King, says these spots were picked based on truck data, popular freight routes, and customer needs. This project will be an interesting case study on how future electric vehicle charging hubs could work. https://lnkd.in/gBwJAm5U

Wrightbus today took the wraps off a bold new enterprise designed to replace older diesel engines with new zero-emission electric powertrains. NewPower UK, which has moved into a hi-tech factory in Bicester, Oxfordshire, aims to speed up the decarbonisation process by eradicating diesel powertrains in older fleets at a substantially lower price than a new bus. Wrightbus becomes the first OEM to offer a re-powering service, utilising the unique skills of its 1,800-strong workforce to swap diesel for electricity. Its master technicians built the original buses and have unrivalled expertise in being able to swap powertrains. Hailed as affordable decarbonisation, it is hoped that operators with mid-life bus fleets but without the funding for new zero-emission buses can take advantage of the instant sustainability switch. Engineers say the conversion can take as little as three weeks and have space for teams to work on six buses at any one time, offering the potential to decarbonise 500 buses a year. Repowering of buses will be more cost effective for some bus operators, I spoke to Jean-Marc Gales, CEO of Wrightbus, about this new enterprise.

“No matter how many new Rivians and Teslas hit the road, some 95% of the world’s energy for transportation still comes from fossil fuels. Transportation accounts for about 30% of global energy use and is responsible for approximately one-quarter of greenhouse gas emissions. But there is no one-size-fits-all solution for decarbonizing the transportation sector. From an engineering perspective, trucks, planes, trains, and ships present wildly different challenges. Fortunately, a diverse array of solutions is emerging—and many of them appear on Fast Company’s 2024 list of the Most Innovative Companies in transportation. Batteries remain the best option for electrifying larger automobiles and present an opportunity for decarbonization at scale. Trucks—everything from SUVs to heavy-duty commercial vehicles—account for 60% of total U.S. transportation emissions”.
