Daimler Trucks North America has delivered the first of its Freightliner Electric Innovation Fleet to Penske Truck Leasing (PTL). The company is working with the council members to ensure a holistic approach to launching electric trucks. The fleet is comprised of two electric trucks and a heavy-duty truck that will be used for testing in order to determine how well they can operate on battery power. PTL will also install 20 charging stations across five of its California locations and intends to purchase nine more eM2 models to use for local distribution services and 10 heavy-duty Daimler eCascadia trucks for specific operations.
