Discover how intermodal fleets can approach electrification, with advice from the nation's leading heavy duty charging infrastructure provider, TeraWatt. Key Takeaways from this webinar. • Learn where fleets can start on electrification (no need to go big right away, there are tons of ways to start really small, test the trucks and how they fit into your operations before scaling up) and what we are learning about total cost of operations based on the trucks that are on the roads today. • Discuss l how strategically positioned charging sites can help fleets minimize any operational disruptions and continue charging just like they fuel up today with diesel. There will be a Q&A session at the end of the webinar.
