Tennessee Freight Electrification Framework

Commercial fleets are increasingly interested in adopting medium- and heavy-duty electric vehicles. While early adopters have shown that this technology can be leveraged as a winwin for the industry — reducing expenses while meeting customer demands and improving driver satisfaction — initial pilots also indicate that the freight sector faces unique and exacerbated challenges to electrification. To address these challenges and support fleets that wish to transition to all-electric vehicles, the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation Office of Energy Programs, in partnership with the National Association of State Energy Officials, has developed the Tennessee Freight Electrification Framework.
