Participant Profile: Nevoya

Nevoya is a fully electric truckload carrier dedicated to making zero-emissions freight movement a reality. It currently is running 20 trucks predominantly out of Southern California in a mixture of over-the-road and drayage operations but has also established a presence in the Northern California and Texas markets. It’s also using artificial intelligence software to optimize the usage, routing, and charging of its trucks, which Nevoya says allows it to keep its prices lower than diesel.

“Telematics play a very big role in planning electrification for a specific fleet. If they have telematics, they’re already collecting a wealth of data they can use it to determine if they should electrify.”

“Being an EV carrier is definitely different. I feel the more people talk about it, the better this industry will get because they will have more informed decisions as to what an EV is truly capable of.”

“Longer range battery prices are going down, which is really driving the TCO. The total cost of ownership for fleets is getting better and better every year. They’re actually able to realize real fuel savings.”

“Hopefully in the future there’s more charging stations where it gives us the opportunity to charge. And I feel like that’s when EVs are going to expand, and more people are going to look into EVs and invest in EVs.”

“This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to engage the shipping community on a mode of transportation shift. We have to share the data points that enable us to demonstrate value, so others in the industry start to join that movement.”

“Electric trucks and other alternative fuel vehicles are often significantly more expensive upfront than a diesel or a gas vehicle, but over their lifetime they can save a lot of money on fuel costs, and on operating and maintenance costs.”
