Electrifying fleets is crucial to achieving Net Zero. This cutting-edge EV startup might have the key to get us there | Julie Johnson
When we talk about electrification, we often talk about personally-owned vehicles — the Teslas and the Fords of the automotive industry. But if you think about it, medium- and heavy-duty trucks make up 5 percent of vehicles on the road and yet, account for about a quarter of U.S. transportation emissions.
That’s why in order to make meaningful inroads on the path to Net Zero, we have to put significant effort into electrifying fleets, vehicles that are essentially always in use and centrally managing.
But encouraging companies to make the switch, and executing that transition is no small feat.
So, how will we get there?
It will take education, cross-sector collaboration, innovation, and some major infrastructure overhauls.
In this episode of “Driving Mobility,” Kristin Slanina, ParkMyFleet’s Chief Innovation Office, sits down with Julie Johnson, head of US Development at Volta Trucks — an electric truck company — to discuss that very question, and the viable solutions companies are primed to pursue today.
