4 G2 Insights The Future of Final Mile Fleet owners have long since sought ways to increase fuel efficiency and reduce maintenance costs. A movement toward electric medium duty, short haul delivery vehicles provide fleet owners with an innovative alternative to traditional fossil fuel-dependent vehicles. The Time for etrucks is Now With considerable time and capital invested toward developing an electric delivery vehicle alternative, etrucks have developed to where total cost of ownership is on par with diesel and alternative powertrains. Infrastructure is increasingly available and emission standards have created regulatory tailwinds. Even though some challenges remain for full fledge adoption, electrification is happening fast and NOW. UPS is a leading player partnering with Workhorse Group (U.S.) and Arrival (UK). In 2017, UPS announced orders of 50 electric vehicles from Workhorse, an etruck manufacturer that estimates its technology could improve fuel efficiency by more than 400%. Recently, UPS announced another test program of 35 vehicles from Arrival, a UK-based electric van producer, in London and Paris. The Company disclosed it has invested more than $750MM in alternative fuel and advanced technology vehicles since Other large players such as USPS, Penske, DHL and Ryder are all following suit and have ordered trucks for pilot programs. Manufacturers such as Daimler and Mercedes Benz are actively testing new capabilities across truck classes to influence the next standard of efficient vehicles. Workhorse and UPS have collaborated to deploy 50 electric, zero-tail pipe emission delivery trucks (left) while Daimler announced its roll out of its Class 4 Fuso ecanter all-electric truck (right).
