About the episode

The future of trucking isn’t diesel — or electric. It’s the “messy middle.” In this episode of HDT Talks Trucking, Deborah Lockridge talks with Mike Roeth, executive director of the North American Council for Freight Efficiency, about insights from the latest Run on Less – Messy Middle demonstration. The project tracked trucks running multiple alternative fuels and powertrains, including diesel, natural gas, renewable fuels, and battery-electric trucks. In an interview at Geotab Connect, Roeth explained what the data is revealing about: • Battery-electric truck performance • Renewable diesel and biodiesel • The renewed interest in natural gas and RNG • Why fleets may rely on multiple fuels for decades • How telematics and data are guiding fleet decisions #Trucking #RunOnLess #ElectricTrucks #FleetManagement #hdttalkstrucking
