The North American Council for Freight Efficiency (NACFE) has announced plans for Run on Less – Messy Middle, focusing on the long-haul trucking sector's emissions and the confusion surrounding it. The event, set for September, will showcase trucks with four different powertrain solutions: diesel, natural gas, battery electric, and hydrogen fuel cells. By having a variety of powertrains, NACFE aims to gather real-world data to bring clarity to the industry. NACFE is collaborating with fleets to ensure an accurate representation of the current trucking landscape. To complement the event, NACFE will conduct a 13-session educational Bootcamp starting in February. The Bootcamp will cover diesel, natural gas, battery electric vehicles, and hydrogen technologies. This educational initiative aims to engage the audience and promote further understanding of sustainable trucking solutions. Moreover, NACFE has secured major sponsors like Cummins and Shell, along with others including Chevron, Clean Energy, and PepsiCo, to support the event. These sponsorships are crucial for the success of Run on Less – Messy Middle. Overall, NACFE's efforts underscore a positive stance on advancing sustainable practices in the trucking industry, with a strong emphasis on gathering data, educating stakeholders, and fostering industry support for cleaner technologies.
