The messy middle, hybrid semis, and century old tech comes to trucking
Description
On today's fleet-focused episode of Quick Charge, we talk about a hot topic in today's trucking industry called, "the messy middle," explore some of the ways legacy truck brands are working to reduce fuel consumption and increase freight efficiency. PLUS: we've got ReVolt Motors' CEO and founder Gus Gardner on-hand to tell us why he thinks his solution is better.
You know, for some people.
We've also got a look at the Kenworth Supertruck 2 concept truck, revisit the Revoy hybrid tandem trailer, and even plug a great article by CCJ's Jeff Seger, who is asking some great questions over there. All this and more – enjoy!
