Velocity Truck Rental & Leasing (VTRL) and sustainability advisory firm Trio official launched their Fontana facility on Sept. 24 that offers 47 high-powered electric charging stations across Southern California. 

The event featured speeches from representatives of Velocity Truck Rental & Leasing, Trio, the California Energy Commission, and Southern California Edison, highlighting Velocity's reliable charging for medium- and heavy-duty electric trucks.

The high-powered chargers have been installed at VTRL’s facilities in Rancho Dominguez (17), Fontana (14), the City of Industry (14), and San Diego (2). 

The newly installed infrastructure comprises 45 120 kW Detroit e-Fill and two ChargePoint chargers. Detroit e-Fill commercial-grade chargers are renowned for their reliability and efficient performance. 

They enable trucks such as the Class 8 Freightliner eCascadia, Class 6 and 7 Freightliner eM2, and RIZON class 4 to 5 battery-electric cab over trucks to achieve an 80% state of charge in just 90 minutes or less.

The event marked a major step in Velocity’s pursuit of electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure to help reduce freight and logistics emissions.
