Altitude by Geotab<\/strong>, the advanced analytics division of leading telematics company Geotab<\/strong>, released<\/strong><\/a> a groundbreaking report highlighting the significant potential for truck electrification in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This study, based on aggregated data from connected commercial vehicles during 2024, reveals that 58% of medium-duty trucks and 41% of heavy-duty trucks are ideal candidates for electrification<\/strong>, as they travel less than 250 miles between visits to their depots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This finding underscores the opportunity to transform the transportation industry toward a more sustainable and efficient model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You may also be interested in<\/strong> | Megaflux: \u201cMexico will require 400,000 electric buses in the next 20 years to renew its public transportation fleet\u201d<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Altitude by Geotab<\/strong>‘s analysis focused on driving patterns, routes, distances and stops of Class 3 to 8 trucks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Notable findings included: <\/p>\n\n\n\n According to Nate Veeh<\/strong>, Associate Vicepresident of Market Development at Altitude by Geotab<\/strong>, \u201cThe trucking industry is undergoing a significant transformation driven by the need for efficiency, sustainability and economic benefits.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOur analysis shows that a substantial portion of trucks have daily driving patterns that are ideal for electrification, which opens up new opportunities to reduce operating costs and emissions,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The report also highlights that Geotab<\/strong>-connected electric vehicles have driven more than 700 million miles in the last year<\/strong>, demonstrating the growing interest and adoption of clean technologies in the commercial transportation sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This data reinforces the viability of large-scale electrification and its positive impact on sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The report also highlights the need for public policies that support electrification, including incentives for the installation of charging infrastructure and the adoption of clean technologies<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Truck electrification not only reduces carbon emissions, but also offers significant economic benefits for fleet operators. Electric trucks have lower operating costs due to reduced fuel and maintenance expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition, electrified fleets can access tax incentives and subsidy programs that make the transition more attractive<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In environmental terms, the adoption of electric trucks contributes to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and improves air quality in urban areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is especially important in regions with high pollution levels, where electrification can have an immediate impact on public health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With this analysis, Altitude by Geotab<\/strong> reaffirms its commitment to sustainability and innovation, providing the transportation industry with the necessary tools to lead the transition to a cleaner and more efficient future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Geotab <\/strong>is one of the partners of the meeting \u201cLatam Mobility Colombia 2025<\/strong>\u201d, which will bring together the most representative leaders of sustainable mobility in the region to chart the path of the sector in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Contact us via WhatsApp<\/strong><\/a> or take advantage of the pre-sale of tickets for Medellin, here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nKey points of the study<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
