“Everyone from truck manufacturers to fleet operators and companies building electric charging stations knows what they need to plan for now. Utilities have a big but achievable job ahead building the charging infrastructure that will soon be needed. Utilities and stakeholders can take advantage of the guidance provided by the recently released National Zero-Emission Freight Corridor Strategy,”** said Daivie Ghosh, senior research analyst.
*The American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) is a non-profit research organization that develops policies to reduce energy waste and combat climate change. ACEEE says “its independent analysis advances investments, programs, and behaviors that use energy more effectively and help build an equitable clean energy future.”
** National Zero-Emission Freight Corridor Strategy is a breakthrough Biden Administration program that will build on new national electric vehicle freight corridors designated by the Federal Highway Administration. “It will advance the President’s clean transportation goal to decarbonize the freight sector to improve our communities, the environment, and the economy,” the administration says.
“Providing ubiquitous and convenient access to electric vehicle (EV) charging and hydrogen refueling along our nation’s freight corridors and at inter-modal freight facilities and high-usage ports is key to achieving U.S. goals to promote at least 30 percent ZE-MHDV sales by 2030 and 100 percent sales by 2040. The goal of the Strategy is to align public policy and investments by prioritizing, sequencing, and accelerating infrastructure along the National Highway Freight Network (NHFN) in four phases. A core objective of the Strategy is to meet freight truck and technology markets where they are today, determine where they are likely to develop next, and set an ambitious pathway that mobilizes actions to achieve decarbonization.”
About Ken Zino
Ken Zino, editor and publisher of AutoInformed, is a versatile auto industry participant with global experience spanning decades in print and broadcast journalism, as well as social media. He has automobile testing, marketing, public relations and communications experience. He is past president of The International Motor Press Assn, the Detroit Press Club, founding member and first President of the Automotive Press Assn. He is a member of APA, IMPA and the Midwest Automotive Press Assn.
He also brings an historical perspective while citing their contemporary relevance of the work of legendary auto writers such as Ken Purdy, Jim Dunne or Jerry Flint, or writers such as Red Smith, Mark Twain, Thomas Jefferson – all to bring perspective to a chaotic automotive universe.
Above all, decades after he first drove a car, Zino still revels in the sound of the exhaust as the throttle is blipped during a downshift and the driver’s rush that occurs when the entry, apex and exit points of a turn are smoothly and swiftly crossed. It’s the beginning of a perfect lap.
AutoInformed has an editorial philosophy that loves transportation machines of all kinds while promoting critical thinking about the future use of cars and trucks.
Zino builds AutoInformed from his background in automotive journalism starting at Hearst Publishing in New York City on Motor and MotorTech Magazines and car testing where he reviewed hundreds of vehicles in his decade-long stint as the Detroit Bureau Chief of Road & Track magazine. Zino has also worked in Europe, and Asia – now the largest automotive market in the world with China at its center.
