J.B. Hunt Transport Services Inc. from Lowell has introduced 20 Nikola Tre fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) to its fleet for freight operations along the West Coast, particularly in California for port and drayage transport. This initiative responds to the need to address carbon emissions and comply with California's emission regulations by adopting zero-emission vehicle technology. Customers of J.B. Hunt will be able to reduce their carbon footprint and avoid California emission fees by opting for zero-emission vehicle pick-ups and deliveries. Greer Woodruff, executive vice president at J.B. Hunt, highlighted the company's commitment to sustainability and how these FCEVs play a crucial role in helping both customers and the company achieve their sustainability goals. The company's fleet already includes over 200 alternative-powered equipment vehicles, including battery-electric, hydrogen-electric, and renewable natural gas powered vehicles. Nikola, based in Phoenix, will provide the necessary fueling and infrastructure support for these FCEVs under its HYLA brand. J.B. Hunt is on a sustainability journey, aiming to reduce carbon emission intensity by 32% from 2019 levels by 2034, with significant progress already made. The company has already integrated three Nikola FCEVs to support dedicated customer operations, showcasing a commitment to embracing alternative-powered equipment and reducing carbon emissions in the logistics sector.
