Forum Mobility

Nineteen months ago, Hight Logistics, Inc. began its electrification journey with Forum Mobility’s truck leasing and charging solutions, starting with four Class 8 battery-electric trucks and fast chargers.    And what a trip it has been. Hight’s growth has been – well, electric – building a lot of business especially from shippers looking for zero emission solutions.    Today, over half of Hight Logistics' fleet is electric, and they aim to be 100% electric by the end of this summer, with 20 electric trucks this year, and planned growth to nearly 30 next year. https://lnkd.in/g4utUxRm   We are proud to have partnered with Hight Logistics from day one, supporting their electric fleet and charging depot.    Ready to electrify your fleet like Hight Logistics?

We're #hiring a new Policy Manager in San Francisco, California. Apply today or share this post with your network.

Please welcome Dan Heise, CPA, Forum Mobility's new Controller. Dan is surprisingly relaxed and friendly for someone with that title. His financial and accounting skills are superb, and will set the stage for Forum's next stages of growth. Glad to have you aboard, Dan.

Forum Mobility is building a network of electric truck charging depots, sited for drayage, along freight corridors from ports to distribution centers. Last month, we celebrated the groundbreaking of the FM Harbor depot in the Port of Long Beach with our customers. https://lnkd.in/gjbhwVgX   Today, we’re announcing FM Hermanas, our latest truck charging depot. It’s located in Rancho Dominguez, adjacent to the 91 and 710 freeways – ideal for Port of Los Angeles and Long Beach drayage carriers. We are now taking reservations.    FM Hermanas depot provides your fleet with tons of power. It offers 95 charging ports, including 12 pull–through spaces, equipped with 180 kW - 480 kW fast chargers, allowing hundreds of trucks to charge per day.     Our depots are not only equipped with the latest charging technology, but also staffed and secure, and designed and operated with a priority on safety. Everything we do is oriented to ensuring reliability.     Need financing for an electric truck as well? No problem. We offer two products at our depots: stand-alone charging, or charging + zero-emission trucks together, each for a monthly fee. We are ready to support your fleet’s needs.      Our aim is to make the transition to electric trucks as easy as possible so you can stay focused on your business.      If you want to learn more about the FM Hermanas charging depot and how we can get you on the road to zero emissions, reach out to Ron A Hunt or Robert Kelly and they can get you on your way. 

Nice looking trucks! We're proud to see our customers Talon Logistics Inc. and Hight Logistics, Inc. as the poster truck children for Port of Long Beach's truck electrification partnerships. Leadership has its rewards. Construction on FM Harbor, our new charging depot inside of the Port, is coming along nicely. If convenient charging right by the terminals sounds good to you, we still have some spaces left to reserve. Ron A Hunt and Robert Kelly can set you up.

Leadership in corporate sustainability means preferentially selecting for zero emission freight. Kudos to Lime Scooters for making a commitment to address emissions from the shipping of their product, and thanks to GreenBiz Group for covering this trend. If you'd like to explore options for your company, Forum Mobility can help! We help carriers transition into electric trucks. Our growing customer base, including Hight Logistics, Inc., is ready to move your goods in zero emission electric trucks. https://lnkd.in/gRQPiBCd

The road to zero emission freight will be paved with a lot of policy support. We're hiring for a Policy Manager to help align governmental support and remove roadblocks. It's a great opportunity to get in early with a great company (if we dont say so ourselves) - please share with fantastic candidates.

Lien Dinh and Patrick Cruz of our Dev Team are super smart and you will enjoy what they have to say about how electric trucks get powered. Join us on June 27!

Congrats - and thanks - to PACCAR, Accelera by Cummins, and Daimler Truck North America for this major investment in America, building the advanced technology of the future.
