<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">The project, run by the North American Council for Freight Efficiency (NACFE), takes a look at electric trucks to determine just how efficient

NACFE executive director Mike Roeth <\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">told attendees at a press conference on the ACT Expo. \u201cWe are going to move freight in the real world, using real truck drivers to try and understand both where we are currently with electric trucks, and where we\u2019re headed.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u201cThe trucks we\u2019ll be studying are running across a wide spectrum of common medium-duty applications that are particularly suited to electric vehicle technology as it exists today,\u201d he explained. \u201cThis ranges from yard tractors \u2014 which I really did not know much about, despite my many years in this industry \u2014 to medium duty box trucks and vans, to larger Classes 7 and 8 trucks engaged in short, local and
