NACFE's Run on Less - Messy Middle is set to feature 13 fleets participating in a demonstration of various fuel and powertrain options for the trucking industry. The event, starting on September 8, will showcase fleets using electric and hydrogen trucks alongside those running on diesel, natural gas, and alternative biofuels. This real-world demonstration, organized by the North American Council for Freight Efficiency, aims to explore the efficiency and viability of different powertrain solutions available to fleets today. The participating fleets, such as Albert Transport, Frito-Lay, and Mesilla Valley Transportation, will operate different types of tractors, including those powered by diesel engines, natural gas, batteries, and hydrogen fuel cells. The event seeks to highlight the benefits and challenges of each fuel type in terms of performance, sustainability, and overall efficiency. Run on Less - Messy Middle will utilize telematics devices from Geotab to capture data and metrics during the three-week run. This data will provide insights into the performance of the various powertrain options under real-world conditions, allowing for a comprehensive comparison of different technologies. The event also includes a 'Messy Middle Bootcamp' featuring sessions on various powertrain solutions, including diesel, natural gas, battery electric vehicles, and hydrogen fuel cells. The initiative, supported by title sponsors Cummins and Shell, aims to drive awareness about sustainable and efficient fuel options within the trucking industry. NACFE continues to seek additional sponsors for the event, emphasizing the importance of promoting fuel efficiency and sustainability in freight transportation.
