Climate United announced a plan to spend up to $250 million to purchase up to 500 electric semitrucks to enhance the transition to zero-emissions transportation.
Beth Bafford, CEO of Climate United, emphasized that high upfront costs hinder the transition to all-electric vehicles for independent owner-operators and small fleets.
Jacqueline Torres of Forum Mobility highlighted the interdependence of truck availability and charging infrastructure, underscoring the program's collaborative efforts to solve this issue.
The program is backed by a $6.97 billion grant from the National Clean Investment Fund, demonstrating significant federal support for electrifying the trucking industry.
