Werner Enterprises announced its first two Freightliner eCascadia battery electric vehicles, (BEVs), are officially transporting freight in Southern California. These trucks have zero tailpipe emissions and significant potential to reduce Werner's carbon footprint. Charge duration times will vary depending on the type of charge and the number of trucks charging at the same time.

To accommodate these requirements, Werner's testing includes evaluating and building out a charging infrastructure at its full-service terminal in Fontana, California. The BEV truck has the potential to reduce the carbon footprint by more than 20 pounds of carbon per diesel gallons equivalent, therefore, the reduction of carbon emissions could reach well over 150,000 pounds per year, per BEV.
