Dig Deeper: 9 Keys to Drawing a Roadmap to Zero Fleet Emissions
HDT Launches Alternative-Fuel Fleet Survey
What do you think about fleet sustainability, alternative fuels, and zero-emission trucks? Participate in HDT's new survey.

Heavy Duty Trucking is asking fleets to complete a short survey to help our editors better understand the state of alternative fuel and zero-emission vehicles among fleets operating medium- and heavy-duty trucks.
As the industry faces increasing pressure to become more sustainable and reduce carbon emissions, we want to know how fleets are currently addressing this issue, how they plan to in the future — or if they are making alt-fuel or electrification plans at all.
Questions cover topics such as:
Current use of alternative fuels, such as biodiesel, natural gas, and renewable fuels
Current use of electric trucks
Future plans for alternative fuels and electrification
Challenges and roadblocks to adopting alternative fuels or electric vehicles
The survey is designed to discover what strategies are proving effective and what challenges fleets need to overcome. Answers will be used to develop information for our audience on the latest trends and best practices, based on real-world experiences from fleet managers.
To participate,click this link and answer a few questions.
Survey responses will be kept confidential and used only for the report. Those who provide their email address will receive a special report on the survey results.
