Description
In this episode, Darren Epps, senior director of advanced vehicle technology at Ryder, shares what it will take for freight companies to transition to electric fleets. It is more than just buying electric trucks. It involves decisions on infrastructure for charging them and determining which loads are best suited for currently available technologies.
Many workers spent the last year working remotely and ordering many, many things online. Now they are returning to offices. But what will they do about their e-com orders if they are not home to receive them? That's why some office complexes are considering installing electronic parcel delivery lockers so that these workers can receive their e-commerce deliveries at work.
What keeps chief supply chain officers up at night? A new study reveals the priorities that will set their agendas moving forward.
