Earth Month Appreciation
Freightliner and Earth Month
As we celebrate this Earth Month together, we want to emphasize the importance of sustainability for our planet and the future of trucking on it's impact on the environment.
The environmental benefits of zero-emission vehicles are substantial – and they’re growing every day. With Freightliner's new eMobility Trucks, they contribute to taking care of our planet by having zero emissions; releasing no green house gasses to Earth's atmosphere. If you’re considering adding electric trucks to your fleet, sustainability isn’t the whole picture. Fortunately, electric vehicles can have plenty of positive impact on your business, too. In fact, they’re built for it.
Per mile, electricity is less expensive than diesel and gasoline. But the value of going electric is about more than what powers the vehicles. With technologies like telematics and managed charging, everything is connected, from how your electric trucks run routes to when they plug in to your EV charging stations. Electric trucks have a much simpler design that features fewer moving parts. Ultimately, that translates into longer service intervals, fewer operational disruptions and much less spent on repairs in the long run. The first time you drive an electric truck like the Freightliner eCascadia® or eM2®, its acceleration might surprise you. That’s because an electric truck can provide near-instant, maximum torque at low RPMs – essentially from a standing start. But why is instant torque important? Not only does it enable larger trucks to get up to speed quicker, but it also takes less force to do it. More efficient power can lead to significant savings on charging costs. The all-electric Freightliner eCascadia and eM2 are ready to move the world toward cleaner, quieter and more efficient operations – and help you meet your sustainability goals along the way.
Let's keep the world moving forward to sustainable climates, cleaner breathable air, and less pollution. Take a look below for more information on Freightliner's eMobility Trucks.
