Thirteen fleets are set to participate in the North America Council for Freight Efficiency’s (NACFE) Run on Less – Messy Middle event, which will span three weeks starting on September 8. The event will feature tractors powered by various alternative fuel sources, including diesel, natural gas, batteries, and hydrogen fuel cells. Fleets from different regions such as Texas, Kansas, New Mexico, California, and Arizona will operate a range of tractors utilizing fuels like natural gas, electricity, and hydrogen. The initiative, spearheaded by NACFE's executive director Mike Roeth, aims to showcase different powertrain solutions available to fleets today. The Run on Less website will provide detailed fleet profiles of each participant in August, leading up to live data streaming from the trucks during the event in September. The event's title sponsors are Cummins and Shell, with additional sponsors supporting the initiative. The Run on Less event seeks to enhance understanding of alternative powertrain capabilities in the long-haul trucking industry, with the goal of providing valuable insights into the efficiency and effectiveness of different fuels and technologies in commercial vehicles.
