This Range Energy whitepaper compares different ways fleets can cut diesel use.

The evaluated options: do nothing, purchase an electric tractor, or purchase a Range eTrailer. Record high diesel prices are making fleets look closely at these options – especially refrigerated fleets, which face additional pressure burning diesel in two engines (TRU and truck engine).

Much of the discussion focuses on the decision a fleet can make today: to start building out charging infrastructure (which can be a multi-year endeavor) and get in the queue for a Tesla Semi, or to put in orders for a Range eTrailer, which starts serial production in late 2027.

Download the whitepaper and make more informed decisions that reduce diesel reliance and enable a more rapid impact to your bottom line.
