#ElectricTrucks #SchneiderNational #DaimlerTrucks #Freightliner #eCascadia "Schneider National Inc. ($SNDR) and its unmistakable bright orange trucks are not only hauling freight, but also over 85 years of experience in transportation that help bring in over $6.6 billion in revenue each year. In the commercial segment, Schneider has been one of the earlier adopters of sustainable freight alternatives, including electric trucks – particularly the eCascadia from Daimler Trucks-owned Freightliner. Schneider worked alongside Daimler Trucks North America to pilot the early eCascadia trucks through 2019 and 2020, which has since expanded into a current fleet of nearly 100 vehicles. To support this growing number of orange electric trucks hitting the road, Schneider opened a massive charging hub at its operations center in California, east of downtown Los Angeles this summer. The site is capable of fast charging up to 32 electric trucks at once and was definitely one of the enablers that has helped get Schneider’s EVs on the roads more quickly, helping contribute to the company’s latest milestone. Since beginning to haul customer freight using the electric trucks this past January, Schneider says its fleet has grown to 92 Daimler eCascadia BEVs and 2 all-electric yard spotters. In that time, the company has been able to safely transport customer freight over 1 million miles – avoiding approximately 3.3 million pounds of carbon emissions. Schneider states the carbon savings using the electric trucks are the equivalent of removing more than 330 gas-powered passenger vehicles from the road for an entire year. Initial customers who helped contribute to the mileage milestone include Goodyear and Frito-Lay North America. In fact, PepsiCo Foods North America vice president and chief sustainability officer, David Allen spoke to its ongoing relationship with Schneider and its electrification strategy: Frito-Lay’s strides in eliminating Scope 3 emissions were exemplified this year through our first-ever third-party electric vehicle shipment with Schneider. As the first to contract transport on Schneider’s eCascadia fleet, our collaboration serves as a blueprint for how Frito-Lay and PepsiCo are working alongside our transportation partners to build a sustainable food system and reach our PepsiCo Positive net-zero emissions goal by 2040. To celebrate the sustainability milestone, Schneider president and CEO Mark Rourke will ring the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) closing bell tomorrow, November 21. Looking ahead, Schneider says it will continue to progress toward its goal of reducing per-mile emissions by 7.5% by 2025 and 60% by 2035. Per its release, it is already more than halfway to its 2025 goal."

E-trucks in action for Jungheinrich! Reducing greenhouse gas emissions along the supply chain is a major challenge. Find out all the details here about a best practice that we have realised together with our logistics service provider F.A. KRUSE JUN. TRANSPORT LOGISTIK RENTAL APS. Our service provider F.A. Kruse jun. has recently started using fully #electric trucks for its transport logistics. The company wants to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and make a contribution to climate protection. For us at #Jungheinrich, this means that our transport of goods and therefore our supply chain will also become a little more sustainable. The use of electric trucks is special, as they are still a rarity in German road transport. Trucks on tour... F.A. Kruse now has three electric truck tractors with a maximum range of 350 to 400 kilometres. Two more are expected to be added in August this year. The electric trucks are used for regional transport and carry shuttle routes for us between our external warehouse at F.A. Kruse in Brunsbüttel and our plant in Norderstedt. There are usually nine shuttle routes per working day. Three of these are currently handled by e-trucks, saving us around 60 tonnes of CO2 per year (according to data by F.A. Kruse). For Jungheinrich, the switch to e-trucks is almost cost-neutral. The truck starts in Brunsbüttel and travels approx. 85 kilometres to Norderstedt. Once there, its trailer is unloaded. The truck then drives back to Brunsbüttel and arrives at the charging station. The electric trucks are powered by green electricity. In just a few weeks, the charging points will be supplied with solar power. The PV system for this has already been built. Sustainability comes together on many levels in our collaboration with F.A. Kruse: We only manufacture electric forklift trucks, thereby helping to reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions in warehouses. The #lithium-ion batteries for these forklifts are checked in terms of quality by our logistics service provider, repackaged and delivered to us in Norderstedt by electric trucks in an environmentally friendly manner. There, we install them in sustainable electric forklift trucks. Jungheinrich AG truly committed with #sustainability

"Hight Logistics, Inc., a local trucking company, now has an agreement to make all of Lime’s deliveries from the port on zero-emissions vehicles. It’s a deal that more brands are likely to make as they try to shrink their overall carbon footprints" This is a really important new trend. For trucking companies weighing whether to make the investment in electric trucks, knowing that they'll have new business is a crucial factor. "We feel it’s incredibly important for businesses like Lime that have cargo to ship to send out the signal that there is demand out there,” says Andrew Savage, Lime’s VP of sustainability. “Irrespective of a given state’s regulatory choices, we want to see demand for decarbonization of this sector. One thing we’ve clearly recognized is that we can’t do this alone—we won’t meet our goals if the sectors around us, from manufacturing to logistics, don’t decarbonize themselves.” Kudos to Lime for leading the way, and looking forward to seeing more companies join them at the leaders' table. https://lnkd.in/eXiCD_x5
