Medium- and heavy-duty (MHD) trucks, in many ways, are perfect candidates for electrification. They consume more oil and emit more harmful pollutants than passenger cars, leaving significant room to maximize electric vehicles’ (EVs’) primary benefits: lower fuel cost and reduced emissions.
The insights gained from this project offer valuable lessons to other municipalities and fleets operating heavy-duty vehicles as they illustrate a path forward for electrification through documented real-world application. Learnings from pilot deployments also help to inform decision-making for scaling and continuing the transition to zero emission. “This deployment and real-world performance give us conviction to continue evaluating electric options across our fleet. It also demonstrates that local governments don’t have to choose between reliable operations and environmental responsibility,” says Danna Widmar, assistant town manager.
The U.S. zero-emission truck (ZET) market continues to evolve, with this update capturing deployment activity — including purchases and leased vehicles — for cargo vans, medium-duty (MD) step vans, MD trucks, heavy-duty (HD) trucks, refuse trucks, and yard tractors as of June 2025.
This update on the U.S. zero-emission truck (ZET) market presents ZE deployment statistics for cargo vans, medium-duty (MD) step vans, MD trucks, heavy-duty (HD) trucks, refuse trucks, and yard tractors as of June 2024.
This toolkit is based on real-world insights from JETSI project partners who have successfully piloted battery-electric trucks and deployed supporting charging infrastructure in Southern California
To demonstrate the efficacy of battery electric vehicles in large numbers in commercial applications, in September 2023 NACFE held Run on Less – Electric DEPOT (RoL-E DEPOT).
The report outlines the challenges of interconnecting charging infrastructure for trucks and buses at scale, and details ten recommendations for lawmakers, utility regulators, and utilities to ensure distribution grids are prepared for this new load.
