The green transportation revolution keeps trucking on and its next stop is freight electrification. Trucking continues to be a major contributor to the transportation sector’s carbon footprint, accounting for nearly a quarter of all greenhouse gas emissions despite only representing 10% of the vehicles on the road.
Proactive steps are being taken to electrify trucking with improvements to range and haul capabilities but there still needs to be more certainty around the transition to electric. Wanting to take a deeper look into the viability of truck electrification, Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI) chose Altitude by Geotab as their trusted source for freight movement data across the U.S.
With unrivaled visibility into where, when and how trucks are driving and stopping along major U.S. highway networks, coupled with insights into vehicle class and engine type, Altitude by Geotab data is the perfect source for beginning to understand which trucks would make the most sense to electrify. It’s why RMI chose Altitude by Geotab as their data source partner to develop the first trucking electrification dashboard to show how some early adopting states are faring.
