CHARTING THE COURSE FOR EARLY TRUCK ELECTRIFICATION
Studying the anonymized data streams from truck telematics systems can help understand where trucks are domiciled as well as where they travel and how many miles per day they accumulate. RMI and Geotab recently performed this task for the states of California and New York since they are leading the country with incentives for fleets to purchase battery electric trucks. The study helps the transportation and power industries understand the possibilities that lie ahead.

CHARTING THE COURSE FOR EARLY TRUCK ELECTRIFICATION
To gain insights into trucking electrification, RMI, Geotab and NACFE teamed to gain insights into which segments of the trucking market can be electrified first and what charging infrastructure will be required to enable that transition. The study team used vehicle telematics data from Geotab to understand the behavior of medium- and heavy-duty trucks. Although the data provided by Geotab for this analysis is exclusively from trucks powered by internal combustion engines (ICE), the observed driving patterns of these vehicles can be used to determine which trucks could be replaced by EVs the soonest based on existing EV technology and charging infrastructure.
