NACFE "Run on Less Electric Report" |
|
The North American Council on Freight Efficiency (NACFE) report on electrification has concluded that:
- Medium-duty box trucks are a great application for electric trucks given their short distances and return to base operations.
- Medium-duty trucks almost always have a second manufacturer who adds body devices requiring engineering design and validation as well as manufacturing planning for electrification.
- More complex Class 6 and 7 trucks such as snowplows, refuse trucks, and fire trucks will require significant efforts which will delay electrification timing.
