The article authored by Syed Humza Farhan, Market Analyst at PTR Inc. explains the transition towards electric trucks and buses in North America. There is a significant and dynamic shift, propelled by a confluence of factors. Governmental incentives, spurred by a shared commitment to combat climate change, are playing a pivotal role in encouraging the adoption of electric commercial vehicles. The period from 2019 to 2022 has witnessed a notable surge in electric vehicle uptake, driven by a combination of state-level incentives, an expanding array of vehicle models, and a heightened global consciousness regarding the importance of sustainability. In Canada, there is an increased demand for electric buses, aligning with the nation’s dedication to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Noteworthy players in the Canadian landscape, such as Kruger Energy and Coca-Cola Canada Bottling, are actively leading the charge in transitioning the trucking industry towards electric vehicles, setting an example for sustainable practices. 

As North America embraces this electric revolution, innovative technologies and business models are emerging to facilitate a seamless transition to a sustainable and emissions-free transportation future. One such development is the concept of Electrification-as-a-Service, signaling a shift not only in the choice of vehicles but also in the way transportation services are delivered. This transformative approach underscores a broader commitment to sustainability and signifies a concerted effort towards creating a more environmentally responsible transportation ecosystem in the United States. The collaborative efforts of industry leaders and the evolving landscape of incentives and technologies are shaping a future where electric trucks and buses play a central role in North America’s transportation paradigm.
