The electrification<\/a> of the heavy-duty trucking and similar transportation sectors continues to evolve, pushed and pulled by public policy, technology cost and partnerships with utilities.<\/p>\n

\u201cInfrastructure is the No. 1 barrier to the ZEV [zero-emissions vehicle] transition, especially as you get into medium- and heavy-duty [sectors],\u201d said Andrea Pratt, zero-emission technology program director for Volvo Group North America.<\/p>\n

The charging infrastructure can be both expensive and include drawn out development times, further complicating a fleet\u2019s transition to electric vehicles.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have contractors that have the capacity to install chargers that\u2019s higher than the ability for utilities to connect up to the grid at that scale,\u201d said Per Lundmark, project manager of the Low Carbon Fuel Standard team at clean-energy consulting firm TRC (formerly GNA), noting the need for additional substations and other infrastructure.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt takes time for utilities to scale up and support that deployment of those technologies,\u201d said Lundmark. \u201cAnd I think the takeaway from that is we will see utilities scale up.\u201d<\/p>\n

And then, of course, the cost of the vehicles themselves can generate some sticker shock.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that you\u2019re seeing a commitment across the board to sustainability, and to supporting the transition to ZEVs. But once you get into the business of doing that, you recognize, there\u2019s some significant costs,\u201d said Pratt.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe reality is these zero-emission trucks \u2014 battery-electric trucks specifically \u2014 are very expensive; batteries are expensive. We were expecting costs to go down, and we\u2019re not really seeing that quite yet. Although we do anticipate that will happen eventually,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

If fleet operators want to pump the brakes on transitioning to ZEVs, the public policy does not. California has set clear benchmarks<\/a> for taking internal combustion engine (ICE) trucks off of the state\u2019s highways by 2040. Similar moves are being adopted by other states on the West Coast and in the Northeast.<\/p>\n
