The transportation industry is one of the biggest contributors to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the U.S., where light-duty vehicles and medium/heavy-duty trucks generate about 80% of the sector’s total emissions, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This makes transportation a prime candidate for electrification, particularly for moving freight—a place where even incremental sustainability improvements can translate into meaningful emissions reductions.
