Transportation
The transportation industry is in the early days of a dramatic and revolutionary transformation. New powertrain technologies and fuel sources from electric to hydrogen to CNG are not only fundamentally reshaping how vehicles are produced but reshaping the infrastructure required to facilitate everyday use in the environment around us.
OEMs, fleets and utilities have a once in a lifetime opportunity to shape this new frontier.
While it is still early days, the electric vehicle is here to stay. To capture the benefits this technology brings, from reduced emissions that protect human health and the environment to reduced operating costs and greater efficiency, the public and private institutions that underpin the supply chain must reinvent themselves – and quickly.
Utilities hold the rights to electricity, the fuel source for this next generation of vehicles, but the challenge has flipped from accommodating distributed energy supply resources to reconciling significant new demand centers from EVs. At the same time, transportation operators must gain confidence in how to approach electric conversion plans at all stages of the process, including long-term strategy, near-term capacity mapping, depot planning and electrical upgrades to equipment selection that spans new OEMs for vehicles, chargers and networking – all of which must closely match existing duty cycles. ADL is here to help each key player optimize their place in this new ecosystem.
