As electrification takes center stage in the movement toward sustainable supply chains, ports emerge as pivotal locations for integrating electric trucks and charging infrastructure. This webinar will explore the commercial factors that make ports attractive for electrification, the integration of charging depots into traditional goods movement and short-haul operations, and the collaborative efforts needed to drive the transition to zero-emission transportation. Participants will gain insights into how ports connect diverse stakeholders across the supply chain and the importance of collaboration for successful electrification. We will discuss Zeem’s innovative approach to establishing strategically located charging depots and working with key partners to support efficient logistics while prioritizing the driver experience. The webinar will discuss ways to streamline the transition for the drayage community and encourage acceptance of electric vehicles within the supply chain to collectively meet regulatory requirements and sustainability objectives.

Webinar Objectives:
1. Examine the commercial factors that make ports ideal locations for electrification initiatives.
2. Discuss strategies for engaging stakeholders across the supply chain and electric vehicle industry to generate collective support for the transition to electric drayage
3. Highlight innovative solutions for integrating electric drayage truck charging into existing operations, including site selection, infrastructure compatibility, vehicle procurement, and commercial traction.
4. Educate stakeholders on the benefits and challenges of electric trucks and charging infrastructure, aiming to increase acceptance and promote the adoption of zero-emission vehicles within the supply chain

Intermodal visibility has made great strides in recent years, yet for many shippers, rail is still often a black hole. This webinar, hosted by intermodal rail expert Andy Adams, will address common intermodal rail tracing questions and share seven KPIs to help you stay on top of common challenges. Webinar Objectives: 1. Understand how intermodal rail event reporting works and what events you should see during a trip 2. Common misunderstandings and pitfalls of intermodal rail tracing 3. Seven KPIs that help solve common challenges About the Speaker: With more than two decades in the rail industry, Adams has a keen understanding of rail operations and tracing. In his current role, Adams is responsible for solving visibility challenges for shippers, ports, 3PLs, and other entities through reporting and consulting. Known at Railinc as the go-to rail operations and data expert, Adams teaches several training courses for entities new to rail: • Railroading Basics • The Loaded Railcar Shipment Cycle • Intermodal Operations • Intermodal Rail Tracing • And more On the weekends, you can find Andy out “railfanning” or at a baseball game.

In conjunction with IANA, Oliver Wyman, a global strategy consulting firm with deep expertise in defining and implementing value creating strategies for operations, commercial growth, digital, M&A strategy, diligence and integration, and delivering strategic transformations, recently queried the UIIA intermodal motor carrier community to hear their outlook on chassis provisioning. Thanks to the input of over 500 respondents, we’re pleased to welcome Eric Heller, Oliver Wyman’s Director - Transportation, as he leads an interactive discussion of the survey findings and presents feedback. We’ll share how the drayage community is choosing to source chassis and what the reasons are for those choices, as well as detail their suggestions provided, including future considerations and areas for improvement.
