The general approach to electrification involves one of two methods , but Tevva ’ s unique approach leverages all it can to make fleets more sustainable
There are multiple ways to exchange fossil fuels for sustainable power solutions .
Despite this , the question isn ’ t about which one of these sustainable solutions works best , but more along the lines of how vehicles can become as sustainable as possible . This is particularly important when looking at logistics , which includes supplying vehicles that withstand high-intensity useage throughout their lifecycles , while ensuring no harm to the environment in their making and operation .
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to electrification globally , but industries must determine the best solutions for their operations . In the logistics sectors , companies are also reluctant to make the switch to electric vehicles ( EVs ) due to a few factors , including range , cost , and sustainable credentials .
Medium- and heavy-duty EV maker Tevva presents a solution to range that , happily , doesn ’ t compromise on emissions , while also making sustainable transport open to more customers . Questioning the company ’ s Founder and CEO , Asher Bennett , on the viability of electrification for the industry , reveals that , for medium-duty vehicles , it ' s going to happen one way or another .
“ The electrification of medium-duty trucks is inevitable , charging infrastructure is a key part of the transition away from diesel ,” says Bennett .
“ Clearly , public infrastructure has a long way to go — though there are positive signs amid the considerable investments being made by governments around the world to accelerate the roll out of charging infrastructure .”
