Commercial & Private Fleets
From utility services and logistics to agriculture and construction, commercial fleets keep the economy moving—and now, many are exploring zero-emission technologies to reduce costs, cut emissions, and future-proof their operations.
Electrifying these fleets isn’t one-size-fits-all. Operators face challenges like high vehicle costs, infrastructure complexity, and limited equipment availability across niche applications. More than 10% of U.S. vehicle-related emissions come from non-transportation sectors like agriculture and construction, highlighting the need—and opportunity—for targeted fleet solutions.
CTE helps commercial and private fleets plan and deploy clean transportation technologies with confidence. From grant writing to smart deployment strategies, we offer practical, customized support to keep operations running clean, reliably, and efficiently.

Commercial & Private Fleets Project Spotlight
C.H. Robinson Foundation Strategic Industry Grant
In 2024, CTE was awarded a C.H. Robinson Foundation Strategic Industry Grant to develop a zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) transition plan for a private-sector fleet aligned with the foundation’s mission to positively impact people, communities, industries, and the planet. Through a competitive Expression of Interest (EOI) process, CTE selected Recology, a San Francisco–based waste management company committed to advancing sustainable resource recovery practices.
CTE is using its Zero-Emission Fleet Transition Planning Methodology to develop a customized roadmap for the phased replacement of Recology’s fleet with ZEVs. The project includes data collection and analysis, a market assessment of commercially available vehicles, and detailed evaluations of fueling, maintenance, facilities, and total cost of ownership.
The final deliverable will be an actionable, long-range transition plan that includes a recommended deployment timeline and order-of-magnitude cost estimates.
