There are more viable powertrain options today than ever before in trucking history.
Carriers are stuck between two eras: diesel is no longer the only powertrain option but the alternatives are not yet fully mature.
The North American Council for Freight Efficiency dubs this period the “messy middle.”
Fleet owners who want to decarbonize first need to identify the alternative that works best for them.
In the video at the top of the page, NACFE’s executive director Mike Roeth breaks down:
- Major powertrain options available today
- Strengths and weaknesses of these options
- How fleets can choose the right tech
“Figuring out how to make good choices, and help your fleet be as successful as possible in what we’re doing, should be fun. It’s what our jobs are,” Roeth told FleetOwner. “Take it seriously—but have fun with it, learn, and come out the back end very successful.”
