SAE ITC Heavy Duty Charging Consortium

42 nations (and counting) including Austria, Canada, Chile, the Netherlands, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, the United States and more have joined as signatories to the Drive to Zero Memorandum of Understanding (https://lnkd.in/dvAXRYj9), setting a target of 30% of all new MHDV sales be zero emission by 2030 and a full transition to zero emission fleet by 2040. By signing this agreement, these nations commit to ensuring that 100% of new medium- and heavy-duty vehicle sales will be zero-emission by 2040, with an interim target of 30% by 2030. This initiative is part of a broader international effort led by CALSTART's Drive to Zero program to reduce emissions in the commercial vehicle sector, which includes trucks and buses. 🚎 🚚 🔌 ⚡ The SAE ITC Heavy Duty Charging Consortium (HDCC) is aligned with these and other initiatives to make significant progress towards developing a robust and efficient heavy duty charging infrastructure. The HDCC has opened new member applications to support the trucking industry movement towards fleet electrification.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has made a significant investment of nearly $250 million into a multistate electric truck charging network along the I-95 freight corridor. This initiative not only supports the transition to zero-emission transportation but also underscores the critical role of collaboration among states, and other stakeholders, to tackle climate change. With the establishment of 24 charging sites and the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 18.6 million metric tons of CO2 by 2050, this project represents a major step forward in creating sustainable infrastructure for electric trucks.  The project includes a needed focus on workforce training, particularly for low-income and disadvantaged communities.    Movement towards heavy-duty truck electrification requires collaboration between and across sectors.  #Collaboration #HeavyTruckElectrification #Freight https://lnkd.in/geRX6ieT

🚛🌱 More adoption of electrified heavy trucks. Einride and PepsiCo have teamed up to electrify Frito-Lay deliveries in Memphis, Tennessee. By deploying five electric trucks, the partnership aims to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, cutting approximately 143 metric tons of CO2e annually. This initiative not only supports PepsiCo's commitment to sustainability but also sets a precedent for eco-friendly logistics in the food and beverage industry.  #Sustainability #ElectricVehicles #PepsiCo #Einride #ElectrifiedHeavyTrucks https://lnkd.in/gr_j-M24

Interesting article regarding the ongoing growth and challenges in #heavyduty commercial battery-electric vehicles (#BEVs) highlighted in ACT Expo / ACT News. Among the challenges described include the need for a robust charging infrastructure, which in turn requires basic interoperability defined through best practices and standards. Much work has and continues to occur in the passenger and light-truck sectors for EV charging; much more work remains to be done in the commercial and heavy-duty sector. The SAE ITC Heavy Duty Charging Consortium plays a crucial role in this journey. By fostering partnerships and sharing best practices, the HDCC is helping to overcome the challenges of charging infrastructure, but more industry participation is needed to lead the way for a cleaner, more efficient future in heavy-duty trucking.  To learn more, https://lnkd.in/dHGscGn2 https://lnkd.in/gaW5NaWK #HeavyTrucksMoveTheWorld #Collaboration #HeavyTruckEV

News from the Port of Helsingborg in #Sweden where they recently opened a new heavy charging station equipped with 350 kW ultra-fast chargers and is the first in Sweden to offer a booking system specifically for heavy transport. The infrastructure has been coming along for small-medium vehicles; heavy-truck are starting to come online. #HeavyTruckElectrification #HeavyDutyCharging https://lnkd.in/giVvE-zv

The HDCC (Heavy Duty Electric Vehicle Charging Consortium) Right Place Right Time! As this linked Transport Topics article points out, a major roadblock to Electric Truck adoption is the lack of chargers and charging standards. Our own Tim Yerdon points out that “The typical standard development process is two to three years with volunteer members in volunteer standard bodies, A consortium can accelerate that time to 12 to 18 months. We cut the time to develop standards in half to allow us to get to industry quicker, It benefits us all to do that and have a common footprint, common language, common technology discussions.” If you would like to be a part of this innovative group, with Navistar Inc, Volvo Trucks North America, Accelera by Cummins, Allison Transmission, contact the HDCC - we've opened its Call for New Member Applications to support the trucking industry movement towards fleet electrification.

SAE Industry Technologies Consortia is excited to announce the launch of the SAE ITC Heavy Duty Charging Consortium (HDCC), a global collaboration of heavy truck industry leaders committed to accelerate electrified commercial vehicle adoption & deployment through development of a seamless unified charging experience across all OEMs/EVSEs. Why is this consortium needed? In today's rapidly evolving transportation landscape, the electrification of commercial vehicles stands as a crucial step towards a sustainable future. However, the fragmented nature of charging infrastructure and varying protocols across manufacturers pose significant barriers to widespread adoption. This is where the HDCC plays a pivotal role. By bringing together industry leaders, OEMs, and EVSE providers, we are committed to developing a unified, seamless charging experience that transcends brand boundaries. Our collaborative efforts aim to accelerate the adoption and deployment of electrified commercial vehicles by eliminating compatibility issues, streamlining operations, and enhancing user experience. Through standardization and interoperability, we're not just charging vehicles; we're powering the future of sustainable transportation, making electric fleets a practical and efficient reality for businesses of all sizes. Join us in driving this electric revolution and shaping a cleaner, greener future for commercial transportation. Join us. To learn more, come talk to us at #COMVEC24 - come find HDCC chair Navtej Singh, SAE ITC Global Land Systems lead Tim Yerdon, SAE ITC biz dev lead Mark Pickett, or HDCC program lead Lisa Spellman and get your company at the table to help lead this important industry initiative. #CommercialVehicle #Electrify #Standards #Interoperability #SAEITC #HDCC
