Five companies were selected by Newlab and Ford to join them in the new Michigan Central facility to help revolutionize electrification and charging infrastructure — including fleet.
From state-of-the-art onboard sensors to wireless telematics and more, Microsoft Azure is going to help Enterprise scale its fleet to a 350,000+ vehicle connected force by the end of the year. A fully connected worldwide fleet may be just five years away.
While the 3G sunset isn’t imminent, existing infrastructure isn’t guaranteed to last until the sunset date. Fleets using ELDs are particularly vulnerable if they don’t get ahead of this technological leap now.
The process of loading and unloading in commercial loading zones is antiquated. A curb management pilot with the City of Aspen promises a better way. What do the findings say?
The market for urban air mobility (UAM) may see more rapid expansion with last-mile drone deliveries of essential medicines to rural destinations, where the cost structure of ground shipping is prohibitively expensive.
The one-square mile zone will provide priority curb access for zero-emission delivery vehicles. The pilot program will also demonstrate medium- and light-duty delivery EVs, electric micromobility delivery solutions, and a medium-duty electric truck-sharing program and charging station.
Smart Zones, powered by Coord’s technology, enable commercial drivers to use their mobile devices to locate nearby available loading zones and to hold, book, and pay for time in them.
U.S. cities are encouraged to take part in a new curb space management pilot to better manage commercial loading in their cities.
The Colorado mountain town and 28 commercial fleets are taking part in a pilot that aims to better manage curb space by understanding commercial loading behavior.
The Federal Communications Commission voted unanimously to split up the 5.9 GHz “safety spectrum” frequency previously set aside for use in transportation for vehicle-to-everything technologies, a plan that has prompted dire warnings from departments of transportation and various transportation and safety groups.
Smart Zones enable commercial drivers to use their mobile devices to locate, hold, book, and pay for available loading zones, with the intent to reduce safety and congestion problems associated with deliveries.
The humble city curb is now coveted real estate, and it’s making mobility increasingly difficult. Cities are turning to curb management concepts that allow fleets to dynamically guarantee parking for a fee.
A seminar at the 2020 Fleet Forward Experience will discuss how and where the commercial vehicle industry is evolving from the financial, manufacturing, equipment, and fleet perspectives.
Waymo will outline its plans to integrate its autonomous solutions into the trucking and goods delivery markets. Tesla, along with a fleet client, will share how the EV manufacturer is working with fleets to support their electrification efforts.
