Schneider, a US provider of transportation, intermodal and logistics services, will soon start taking delivery of nearly 100 Class 8 battery-electric semi-trucks at its intermodal operations in Southern California.<\/p>\n

The Wisconsin-based company is awaiting delivery of 92 Freightliner eCascadia electric trucks, after it increased its previously reported order of 62 BEVs by 30 units.\u00a0Schneider’s first Freightliner eCascadia<\/a> is ready to roll off the assembly line at the Daimler Truck North America (DTNA) plant in Portland, Oregon.<\/p>\n

When the 92 eCascadia semi-trucks will be delivered, Schneider will have one of the largest electric fleets in North America, marking a critical step in the company’s efforts to use zero-emission vehicles into its truck fleet.<\/p>\n

\n

“The integration of nearly 100 zero-emission vehicles is an important milestone for Schneider as we are moving beyond the battery-electric truck testing phase to running an operation at scale. In combination with rail movement, we can offer our intermodal customers meaningful emissions reduction value by utilizing BEV dray trucks.\u201d<\/p>\n

Schneider aims to reduce CO2 per-mile emissions by 7.5 percent by 2025 and 60 percent by 2035. The company says it has already achieved more than half of its 2025 goal by reducing per-mile emissions by 5 percent, with battery-electric trucks to help further meet these sustainability goals.<\/p>\n

According to Schneider, the new Freightliner eCascadias<\/a> have the potential to avoid over 81,000 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions per day. That is equivalent to removing 2,400 gas-powered cars from the road over the course of a year, Schneider claims.<\/p>\n

Schneider is already familiar with electric vehicle technology, having piloted an eCascadia for six months through Freightliner’s Customer Experience fleet<\/a>. The company says the drivers who tested the electric semi-truck reported really enjoying driving it.<\/p>\n

The production version of the Freightliner eCascadia debuted earlier this year with three battery options offering a range of up to 230 miles in Single drive configuration at 65,000 pounds Gross Combination Weight (GCW) or 220 miles in Tandem drive configuration at at 82,000 pounds GCW.<\/p>\n

The three Detroit HV Battery options include a 195-kWh pack with charging times to 80% and 100% of 1.5 and 3 hours, respectively, 291 kWh (2-4 hours) and 438 kWh (2-6 hours). The packs utilize Li-Ion NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt) battery chemistry packed inside of CATL prismatic cells.<\/p>\n
