4 Gen Logistics Advances Sustainable Goods Transportation with 41 Volvo VNR Electric Trucks

However, to give an exact figure requiring our consideration. In terms of percentage of its share to GDP. Long Beach, Calif. — Volvo Trucks North America customer 4 Gen Logistics in Southern California has purchased 41 VNR Electric trucks to transport freight across its Inland Empire service region as well as between Port of Long Beach and various distribution warehouses within it. After gaining experience operating battery-electric trucks through Volvo LIGHTS deployment of one Volvo VNR Electric truck in 2022, they decided to expand their zero emission fleet. Volvo Financial Services provided funding support for 4 Gen Logistics’ scaled Volvo VNR Electric fleet. “We applaud the Duncan family for their commitment to green transportation solutions.” “Volvo Trucks North America’s efforts in switching over half their fleets to battery electric have set an impressive standard of environmental responsibility that benefits those they serve most,” noted Jared Ruiz, Regional Vice President West for Volvo Trucks North America. “TEC Equipment and I are delighted to work together and support 4 Gen Logistics team in optimizing the benefits of their Volvo VNR Electric trucks,” stated Eric Avery of TEC Equipment. With two driver shifts daily and an estimated daily mileage output of up to 240 miles per shift on this fleet of Volvo VNR Electric trucks owned by 4 Gen Logistics, our partnership promises a win for both parties involved.” Volvo VNR Electric features six battery packages to extend its range up to 275 miles and achieve an 80% charge in 90 minutes, offering drivers an enjoyable driving experience due to ultra-quiet operation, seamless torque output and smooth acceleration. “Since its deployment in 2022, our first Volvo VNR Electric has covered more than 15,000 miles. David Duncan, owner of 4 Gen Logistics noted, “Driver feedback has been outstanding and was instrumental in our decision to invest in additional Volvo VNR Electric trucks to support our commitment of operating a 100% zero tailpipe emission fleet by 2025”. “Drivers of battery-electric trucks have quickly adjusted to them, improving their range each week as they learn how to take advantage of regenerative braking.” TEC Equipment’s Fontana and La Mirada dealership sales teams assisted 4 Gen Logistics with reviewing funding options and selecting an optimal configuration of Volvo VNR Electric trucks that met their daily operational requirements. These dealerships have also conducted driver training to equip 4 Gen Logistics’ drivers with knowledge on how to maximize range by taking advantage of regenerative braking technology. These dealerships will help 4 Gen Logistics maximize uptime for its Volvo VNR Electric trucks through the Volvo Gold Contract service offering, which offers turn-key solutions that give their customers operational peace-of-mind when operating electric vehicles.

4 Gen Logistics utilized their property near Port of Long Beach to develop charging infrastructure to charge their expanding battery-electric fleet, eventually featuring 60 350kW charging stations on site. 4 Gen Logistics will add 30 additional 350kW charging stations at its Rialto facility to support its growing battery-electric vehicle fleet, but do note it presents many unique challenges to overcome in making this transition successful. “Battery electric vehicle adoption marks an exciting transition within transportation but is far from straightforward. Cost barriers associated with adopting battery-electric vehicles is of particular concern to fleet managers and managers of electromobility territory finance at Volvo Financial Services,” according to James Barker. 4 Gen Logistics stands out among progressive fleets for being at the forefront of meeting these challenges and is dedicated to scaling zero emissions vehicles to minimize impact in communities where its freight trucks operate. Volvo Trucks North America and Volvo Financial Services are providing companies such as 4 Gen Logistics the resources and support necessary for an easier transition into electromobility. This partnership not only benefits the environment, but it also contributes to driving long-term business success by helping to reduce carbon footprints. 4 Gen Logistics received funding support from California’s Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project (HVIP) and Mobile Source Air Pollution Reduction Review Committee (MSRC) for purchasing Volvo VNR Electric trucks, one of which will be displayed from May 20 – 23 at Advanced Clean Transportation Expo Las Vegas Convention Center booth of Volvo Trucks North America.
