By identifying these three factors \u2013 technology, need and support \u2013 it can be decided which areas of Canada where electric truck distribution makes the most sense, says the recent director of the North American Council for Freight Efficiency.<\/p>\n

In an editorial for Fleet Owner, Michael Roeth, who was most recently executive director of the NACFE and currently serves on the second National Academy of Sciences Committee on Technologies and Approaches for Reducing the Fuel Consumption of Medium and Heavy-Duty Vehicles, discussed potential regions for electric truck deployments in Canada.<\/p>\n

He states: <\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cAfter we first published our\u00a0High-Potential Regions For Electric Truck Deployments<\/a>\u00a0in August, we got questions from several interested parties about whether we had similar information for Canada \u2013 a very legitimate question since we are the North American Council for Freight Efficiency.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0To be clear, we do not ignore our friends to the north and, in fact, in both\u00a0Run on Less 2017<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Run on Less Regional<\/a>, we tried very hard to get fleets and drivers from Canada to participate in the roadshow. Unfortunately, we were not successful, but we will continue our efforts when we launch other Run on Less demonstrations. We are also quite active with multiple projects with NRCan and others as well as have close relationships with many Canadian fleets.<\/em><\/p>\n

For now, let\u2019s get back to the regions that have high potential for electric truck deployment. Jessie Lund, study author and senior associate at Rocky Mountain Institute, went back to the drawing board to determine in which areas of Canada electric truck deployment made the most sense. The team applied the same three-part framework it used to evaluate U.S. regions to look at opportunities in Canada.<\/em><\/p>\n

As a reminder, the framework looked at these three factors:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
