"In this report, we explore Shenzhen’s experience in the deployment of electric urban delivery vehicles and take on one of the most important questions to accelerating adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) in urban delivery: How to effectively provide them with charging infrastructure? To answer that question, this report uses a unique data set with complete driving records of over 10,000 electric delivery vehicles in the city of Shenzhen, supplemented by dozens of interviews with the companies that own and operate those vehicles."

The expanded alliance now will add two of the most significant, albeit costly, technologies expected to dramatically reshape the global auto industry over the coming decades.

Minnesota utilities have recently filed transportation electrification proposals with state regulators, sketching out how they plan to help grow electric vehicle adoption through development of incentives, charging infrastructure and new rates.

This workshop explored the potential of electrification in reducing oil consumption and emissions of greenhouse gases and air pollutants in trucks.
