Zero-emission freight vehicle technology is advancing rapidly and will eventually offer fleets lower cost of ownership than diesel-powered trucks, according to a new report from a consortium of groups led by Calstart.
Number expected to double by 2023.
More 200 transit agencies across nation count ZEBs as a part of their fleet with 60 transit agencies adding ZEBs to fleets over the past year.
For fleets struggling to find the funds to buy alt-fuel vehicles, there is money available. All it takes to get it is to formulate a plan, build relationships, and pay attention to the details.
Through the support of WestStart CALSTART’s Hybrid Truck Users Forum, 13 utility fleets became early adopters of medium- and heavy-duty hybrid truck technology. Fleet managers report substantial fuel savings and few maintenance issues, though greater production is needed to drive premiums down.
