Daimler Truck North America will join Duke Energy as a founding participant of an electric truck program at a soon-to-be-built microgrid-integrated fleet electrification center in North Carolina.
ETransEnergy will offer programs tailored to help fleets transition to electric delivery trucks, school buses and other work vehicles.
Duke Energy will be heading a $320,000 project to install a total of 36 electric power outlets for heavy trucks at a distribution center for Merchants Distributors in Hickory, N.C.
Drivers will be able to plug in their vehicles and keep electricity and hot or cold air on during overnight stays, avoiding idling engines.
Workhorse Group Inc. hopes to begin production in 2018 on a plug-in hybrid light-duty pickup truck that the company says is designed for fleet usage.
