Zero-emission vehicles sound good but are very difficult to implement.

Tim Vander Pol

President and Chief Steward, Peninsula Truck Lines, Inc.

We believe that we should all be stewards of the environment, and we share in the desire for cleaner air. Zero-emission vehicles sound good but are very difficult to implement. There is a large cost barrier that accompanies the adoption of new technology. Vehicle costs, charging infrastructure, available power, reduced range, and decreased payload are all factors influencing the transition to zero-emission technology.

Grant funding and state incentives for vehicles motivate fleets to purchase vehicles, as they make a transition to zero-emission vehicles a more attainable option.
