Maersk joins coalition to pilot heavy-duty battery-electric vehicle charging between Los Angeles and El Paso, Texas. In a step toward advancing electric-powered, heavy-duty fleet transport, the shipper-carrier coalition will test long-haul charging operations along the Interstate 10 (I-10) corridor.
“To electrify trucking on a meaningful scale, all stakeholders need to invest in expanding the electric grid for charging capabilities,” said Charles van der Steene, Regional President for Maersk North America. “With our ambition to reach net zero by 2040, we’re committed to being part of collaborative efforts like these, which help move us toward our goal and allow us to offer customers a pathway toward a decarbonized alternative for trucking.”
