Ev commercial vehicles

Over the last several years, the electric vehicle sector has seen a growth in the desire for more heavy-duty trucks, semi-trucks, delivery vans and other commercial vehicles. The electrification of these medium and heavy-duty transport methods has become a vital component in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States. In 2019, these vehicles alone The electrification of trucking has the potential to vastly decrease the carbon impact the industry has made. More manufacturers are pushing to launch their EV models to become a part of this new ecosystem dedicated to finding a long-term solution to sustainable commercial transportation. While the manufacturers are the ones building out these new electric heavy-duty trucks and vans, the efforts do not fall on them alone as partnerships with logistics and retail companies and local governments to reach the goal continue to grow. For example, the EPA provides companies that are improving freight transportation efficiency with funding, grants and other incentives through its Within the next few years, many of these automakers plan to not only introduce their electrified trucking fleets, but to become leaders in a space that needs to see significant change to make a lasting impact on GHG emissions. According to As companies such as Ford and Rivian continue to replace gasoline and diesel powered commercial vehicles, they are also prepared to introduce more consumer-based vehicles — such as pickups — in 2022. Still...

• Electric semi-trucks are coming to roads near you—eventually. • They are clean, green, and very expensive machines, though they will pay off after several years • As with every class of EV rolling out or in development, one of the biggest obstacles to adoption is the lack of charging infrastructure—particularly acute when talking about big rigs. Electric carsnow make up about two percent of sales and growing. trucks are a little slower to adapt but are So is the trucking industry switching to electric? Eventually. “The pandemic delayed introduction of electric trucks, creating delays in development and testing,” said Don Ake, vice president of commercial vehicles for The Freightliner eCascadia big rig and the eM2 Class 6-7 giant box truck, both powered by electricity. Freightliner Medium-sized electric trucks may get here first. “We see that electrification adoption is accelerating across commercial vehicles starting with the light commercial vehicles and buses and continuing with the medium-duty trucks because they are reaching Total Cost of Ownership parity with internal combustion engines pretty much today,” More EV Big Rig News • Electric Semi-Trucks Are On Their Way, At Last “We have the technology today to make medium-duty trucks work for short-local runs,” said Ricardo Rodriguez-Long, who works in asset management for Several of Freightliner’s fleet of 40 electric trucks are on a demo tour of the country as you read this. We caught up with the tour and drove four ...

This analysis is from BloombergNEF. It appeared first on the Bloomberg Terminal. Overview • In heavier duty segments, sales of electric trucks reach 30% by 2040, as cheap and dense batteries, and high-power charging stations make electrification suitable for long-haul, in addition to urban, operations – based on BloombergNEF’s Economic Transition Scenario in the latest long-term Electric Vehicle Outlook 2021. • Natural gas takes about a fifth of the global market for medium- and heavy-duty trucks, but plays an almost negligible role in the light-duty commercial vehicle segment. Compressed or liquefied natural gas truck sales are between 20% and 30% in the U.S., China and some European countries, but remain at less than 10% in markets, such as India, Japan and Australia. • Finally, fuel cell vehicles account for less than 3% of the medium- and heavy-duty truck sales by 2040 and about 1% of those in the LCVs. The share of hydrogen utilization is the highest in long-haul operations, but remains low in other use cases. China, some European countries, Japan and Korea see fuel cell truck sales between 7% and 10% in the medium- and heavy-duty segments by 2040. • Very strong government support will be needed to achieve those sales. BloombergNEF estimates assume a certain scale-up of hydrogen production, storage and distribution. This infrastructure is still at a very early stage and also depends on hydrogen being adopted in areas such as industry and buildings. Global commercial v...

The electric era is here, and Ford is in the midst of implementing an ambitious, comprehensive plan to make the transition to an electric lifestyle – or commercial fleet, for that matter – easy. Ford is investing $22 billion in electrification through 2025 as part of its plan to lead electrification in areas of strength. The company is electrifying its most iconic products – the Mustang, F-150 and Transit – with many more to come in the years ahead. In addition to offering zero-emissions versions of its most popular vehicles, Ford is harnessing electrification to deliver more of what customers love about them: Performance, capability and productivity. • The all-electric • The • The A key part of Ford’s goal to drive the adoption of electric vehicles is to target the large market for fully electric commercial vans and pickups. Ford is planning to bring the benefits of electric vehicles to these customers with an accessible price point, improved productivity, and lower cost of ownership. Along with a variety of home charging solutions, Ford has North America’s largest public charging network†, with more than 63,000 charging plugs and growing. Built-in charging solutions, such as cloud-connected navigation, route customers to nearby charging stations, recommend where to charge on trips and provide easy access and payment via FordPass for a seamless customer experience. And with more than 2,300 EV-certified dealers across all 50 states – plus 644 EV-certified commercial vehicl...
