Project Portfolio
Zero-emission options for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles are not drop-in replacements for about half of the freight and transit duty cycles in the US. CTE provides our clients with operational planning to ensure these vehicles are deployed successfully in their unique operations.
CTE has guided hundreds of fleets to deploy zero-emission vehicles through our project management and proprietary modeling program. Below you will find a list of all our current projects organized by state.
