The case for natural gas, data to determine sustainability strategy and inside of a Starship

The case for natural gas, data to determine sustainability strategy and inside of a Starship

We turn our attention toward decarbonization technologies and strategies.

One of the most amazing things about ACT Expo is that every year is completely different—new technologies, big product and services announcements and fresh narratives emerge from show floor conversations. This was the year of sustainability business reality. The education and panel discussions hosted several fleets that are now running just a handful of diesel trucks in California, having nearly transitioned all of their trucks to lower-emissions vehicles, and they’re making money doing it.

In this episode of Fleet Equipment’s From the Floor we dive into the business case for natural gas engines, take a look at what Hyliion was highlighting, check in with Valvoline on its lubrication and sustainability efforts and talk with Shell about its Starship 3.0 vehicle. Watch the video above.
