We’re helping put 25 new electric semi trucks on the road in Texas.
We’re partnering with Nevoya and the Center for Green Market Activation (GMA) to deploy 25 electric semi trucks.
Google is collaborating with Nevoya and the Center for Green Market Activation to introduce 25 electric semi trucks and the necessary charging infrastructure on a new all-electric route connecting Houston and Dallas. By purchasing environmental attribute certificates (EACs), Google will benefit from the environmental advantages generated by this project. EACs allow companies to mitigate the emissions associated with their supply chain logistics.
The total project comprises 63 electric trucks, making it the largest known deployment of class 8 battery trucks, or the largest truck classification, in Texas. These electric vehicles are anticipated to cover around 11 million miles annually and are expected to cut 92,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emissions compared to conventional diesel trucks throughout the duration of their contracts.
By combining EAC purchases with other companies, Google is amplifying the demand signal for new technologies, thereby stimulating the growth of the zero-emissions freight shipping market.
