Schneider National has achieved a remarkable milestone, with its all-electric semi-truck fleet surpassing 6 million miles driven, highlighting the growing benefits of electric vehicles in the trucking industry.

Initiated in 2020, Schneider's electric vehicle initiative has reached this significant milestone in just five years, marking a notable achievement for both the company and the electric vehicle sector.

The fleet's operation has led to the prevention of approximately 20 million pounds of carbon pollution, which is akin to removing 2,100 gas-powered cars from the roads.

Electric trucks not only reduce transportation pollution but also enhance air quality, playing a crucial role in the fight against climate change.

These electric trucks are designed to be safer than traditional trucks, featuring a lower risk of rollovers and contributing to quieter roads, which benefits residential areas.

In addition to environmental benefits, electric semi-trucks offer lower operating and ownership costs, potentially leading to significant savings for businesses and consumers alike.

Schneider operates over 130 electric semi-trucks, primarily in Southern California, with support from California's JETSI program, EPA grants, and the Volkswagen Environmental Mitigation Trust.

The company reached the 6 million mile milestone in December 2024, just one year after achieving the 1 million mile mark, showcasing rapid progress in electric vehicle adoption.

David Carson of Daimler Truck North America commended Schneider's success as a collective reminder of the importance of striving for zero emissions, while Schneider's CEO Mark Rourke reaffirmed the company's commitment to EV technology and its advantages for customers.
