The best place to begin fleet electrification isn’t on the highway – it’s on the distribution or fulfillment centre yard. Lazer Logistics has been operating a fleet of more than 150 electric terminal tractors at more than 75 sites across North America (including multiple sites in Ontario) for large consumer packaged goods manufacturers and major retailers. Their data, based on nine years of operating electric yard trucks, shows they not only pay for themselves within a few years on the job, but also outperform diesel on safety, reliability and driver satisfaction. From cold-weather performance to lower operating costs, Lazer’s experience proves that electrifying the yard delivers measurable wins — and a positive business case for sustainable operations.
