Right-sizing fleet electrification in medium and heavy-duty vehicles
Electrifying medium- and heavy-duty fleets is not a one-size-fits-all challenge. In this free webinar, Carter Pallme of Heliox, A Siemens Business, explores how fleet operators can develop tailored electrification strategies that reflect real-world operational demands.
This session examines how to assess unique duty cycles, plan infrastructure early, and optimize Level 2 and Level 3 charging solutions across use cases, including last-mile delivery, public transit, school fleets, and ports. Learn how a pragmatic, fit-for-purpose approach can reduce complexity, control costs, and avoid common pitfalls on the road to fleet electrification.
Key topics and takeaways:
- No one-size-fits-all solution: Every fleet and site has unique requirements. Factors such as power availability, route length, and vehicle mix demand a tailored electrification strategy rather than a generic approach.
- Proactive planning is essential: Early assessment of operations, future growth, routes, and collaboration with utilities and industry partners is key to a smooth, cost-effective transition.
- Strategic charging improves efficiency: Choosing between Level 2, Level 3, or a blended charging approach depends on dwell times and power needs. Getting this right optimizes infrastructure and reduces costs across use cases such as last-mile delivery, transit, school fleets, and ports.
- Innovative solutions unlock value: Technologies like vehicle-to-grid (V2G), particularly for school fleets, can open up funding opportunities and new revenue streams, helping offset electrification costs and improve financial viability.
