ZERO EMISSION VEHICLES (ZEV)
Fleet modernization through cleaner technology.
Enabling operators to decarbonize their fleets, build energy resilience, and economize their energy costs.
Medium and heavy-duty ZEVs are becoming a thriving asset class as technology is transferred from first-success applications, use cases expand, regulations grow more restrictive, and EV costs plummet. In fact, electric trucks are becoming less expensive than their diesel counterparts (CALSTART, 2020).
We are helping fleet operators capitalize on this growing trend and accelerate their own transition to cleaner technology.
Equipment & Consultation for ZEVs
-
On & Off-Road Tractors
-
Medium & Heavy-Duty Trucks
The move towards ZEV adoption is propelled by the new regulations.
Last Year, California signed the Advanced Clean Truck (ACT) regulation into law, requiring medium- and heavy-duty vehicle manufacturers to sell ZEVs as an increasing share of total sales in the Golden State. The ACT regulation requires that all vehicles must be ZEVs by 2045 (CARB, 2021a).
55%
of trucks must be class 2b-3
40%
of tractor trailer sales must be zero emissions by 2035
ACT REGULATION REQUIREMENTS
Getting started.
Step 1
Define Fleet Characteristics and Use
Define duty/drive cycles, fleet route length and conditions, lifetime cycles, payload, dwell time, and maintenance & operational considerations.
Step 2
Review & Select Technology Options
Consider types of vehicles, charging or fueling technologies, as well as software and networking capabilities.
Step 3
Understand Onsite Electric Power Needs
Determine if the site requires upgrades to grid equipment and additional support for onsite charging and hydrogen production.
Step 4
Site Selection and Planning Consultation
Plan to support a functional facility layout that is ideally located and features the appropriate zoning, permitting, physical space, and power supply.
Step 5
Utility Coordination, Engineering & Design
Start local and regional utility engagement early to develop power delivery roadmap that leverages utility programs and charging rates.
Step 6
Permits & Approval Applications
Evaluate zoning, land use, permitting, and right-of-way requirements based on space and the property agreements needed for the utility to cross parcels for power delivery.
Step 7
Grid and Electrical Services Upgrades
Determine if new charging loads and onsite hydrogen production requires upgraded or new utility feeders, substation modernization, and new substations.
Step 8
Equipment Integration, Construction & Commission
Construction can start when the fleet operator or EPC firm obtains all permits and approvals.
Ongoing warranty and maintenance programs.
Through Motive’s Network Operations Center (NOC), highly trained technicians use cloud-based monitoring, together with repair and expansion expertise, to keep your fleet operations running efficiently for the long haul.
