Electrification in Transport: Reducing Carbon Emissions for the Long Haul
Manage episode 498366826 series 3492709
Electric vehicles are growing in popularity – small cars, SUVs, even pickup trucks. But what about electric long-haul tractor trailers?
It’s true that, owing to the size of the batteries required, electrification of heavy-hauling trucks is a difficult task. However, disruptive innovators have capitalized on this gap in the sector. Thanks to groundbreaking electrification solutions, one customer was able to drive 265,000 kilometers over two years without ever re-charging his trailer battery!
In this episode, we speak to Abdullah Jaber, CEO and Managing Director at Trailer Dynamics, and Roland Duquesne, Director of Key Accounts for the EMEA Region at Thermo King.
We’ll discuss game-changing trailer technology, and how the electrification of long-haul transportation not only reduces carbon emissions, but also helps truckers get to their destinations faster.
