Ian Rust - Revoy - Electrifying semi-trucks under 2mn, at no upfront costs


Listen Later

Ian Rust is the founder and CEO of Revoy, a startup enabling heavy-duty truck electrification at no upfront cost. Revoy's one-of-a-kind electric trailer, which fits between the tractor and trailer of any diesel truck, can reduce fuel use by 90%—all at no upfront cost and in under 2 minutes.

With over 25% of US transportation emissions coming from 3 million semi-trucks, Revoy offers a critical solution to decarbonize the 3 million diesel semi-trucks on the road today.

In this episode, we explore the trucking industry and Revoy's unique technology. Tune in to hear about:

  • Ian’s insights on hydrogen's high costs and his strong belief in electrification.
  • The current limitations of electric trucks (charging time & cost) and how Revoy's electric trailer can overcome these barriers.
  • Revoy's product development strategy for rapidly developing sophisticated hardware technology by leveraging automotive and aerospace supply chains.
  • Ian's broader vision of creating renewable-powered hubs to support entire communities, going well beyond trucking decarbonization

Enjoy the discussion!
