Town Hall Meetings: Sustainable Trucking

Run on Less: How Private Fleets Are Embracing Alternative Fuels and Power to Improve Cost, Service, and Sustainability

Although Federal and state vehicle emissions regulatory pressures have eased, corporate sustainability targets are driving market demand for alternative energy in trucks. Multiple fuel options include renewable natural gas, renewable diesel, pure battery electric, hybrid-electric ones like hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, hydrogen, and potentially others. While these options are good for decarbonizing trucking, they present different benefits and challenges to truck makers and end users.
