NACFE's Run on Less - Messy Middle to Feature Diverse Powertrain Solutions
Key Ideas
- NACFE's upcoming event will showcase four powertrain solutions: diesel, natural gas, battery electric, and hydrogen fuel cells, aiming to bring clarity to the trucking industry's messy middle.
- The event will track trucks from three fleets in each powertrain category, collecting real-world data to understand the long-haul segment better.
- NACFE will conduct a 13-session bootcamp alongside the event, focusing on diesel, natural gas, battery electric, and hydrogen vehicles, ultimately aiming to enhance fuel efficiency in the trucking sector.
- Geotab telematics devices will be used in each truck, with Geotab being the official data partner, providing valuable insights and metrics for analysis.
The North American Council for Freight Efficiency (NACFE) will host the 'Run on Less - Messy Middle' event in September, featuring four different powertrain solutions: diesel, natural gas, battery electric, and hydrogen fuel cells. The focus will be on long-haul, return-to-base, and over-the-road duty cycles to address the largest emitting market segment and clear up confusion in the industry. By tracking trucks from three fleets per powertrain category, NACFE aims to gather real-world data to bring clarity to this sector. The event will also include a 13-session bootcamp focusing on different vehicle technologies and fuel efficiency, with Geotab telematics devices being used in each truck for data collection. Through this initiative, NACFE seeks to contribute to enhancing fuel efficiency and understanding the diverse powertrain options available in the trucking industry.
