Utility Planning Facility Dedicated to Supporting Fleet Electrification

Duke Energy’s Mount Holly Technology and Innovation Center in North Carolina will be gaining a new performance center to support its fleet’s electrification. By teaming up with Electrada, they want to help speed up the commercial fleets’ electrification process. Daimler Truck North America (DTNA), the largest heavy-duty truck manufacturer in North America, is also a founding participant in the collaboration to develop a clear, integrated, and cost-effective path to fleet electrification.
