Fuel-cell supplier Loop Energy isn't a name you've heard around the dinner table yet. The company has been around for nearly 20 years, but most of its exposure has been in China and Europe, where fuel cell technology and fleet uptake is advancing more rapidly.
Overcoming today’s challenges to corporate fleet electrification; understanding how embedded modem data can be used effectively; and straightforward paths to sharing fleet vehicles — it was another busy day at Fleet Forward Experience.
We learned that Tesla is a player in fleet and that autonomy is taking various paths to evolution. Digital keys and car-as-wallet technologies are driving fleet efficiencies right now.
Interested in electric trucks? You might want to research the related charging infrastructure long before they roll off an assembly line.
How fuel-cell-equipped trucks could put to work otherwise unexploited clean energy.
Recently, UPS dipped its toes a little deeper into the electric truck market with the acquisition of a Freightliner eCascadia battery-electric Class 8 truck.
A hybridized work truck fleet provides a cost-effective, eco-conscious way for organizations to achieve an idle-free green fleet without sacrificing range.
While the future of electrification infrastructure is DC fast charging, some fleets may never need it. James Kennedy of Tritium explains the decision process.
When comparing propane to electric, fleets should examine factors around emissions, economics, and fueling.
New forms of sharing technology allow fleet operators — from corporate and rental fleets to motor pools — to increase utilization and recoup costs.
“Everyone comes into fleet electrification talking about hardware, and they leave talking about software workflow and project management,” says Michael Hughes of ChargePoint.
In the survey, conducted by Wakefield Research for telematics provider Samsara, 32% believe fleets will be one quarter electric within five years, while 50% believe in 10 years.
Electric vehicles’ short bout of success before gasoline engines became the mainstream gives us lessons for successful EV deployment in this new era.
Beyond electric vehicles, there is a wide array of fueling options that fleets can consider when identifying the best alt-fuel solutions for their operations.
Beyond the technological advancements considering vehicles running on unleaded gasoline or diesel, alternative-fueling technologies still very much have a place in the fleet space and are continuing to see technological advancements as well.
