Jennie Abarca Is Proving Electric Trucks Can Do the Job

HDT Truck Fleet Innovator Jennie Abarca is building confidence in fleet electrification one load at a time while openly sharing the challenges she encounters along the way as a small-fleet owner.

Jennie Abarca didn't buy electric trucks because she thought they would make her rich. In fact, she says they probably slowed the growth of her company.

The Long Beach drayage fleet she founded, King Fio Trucking, has 35 trucks, 11 of them battery-electric, with 21 Teslas on order.

But Abarca's goal wasn't just to be an early adopter and get ahead of the emissions regulations for drayage trucks at the ports and California's Advanced Clean Fleets rule.
