Commercial & Private Fleets
Commercial and private fleets include the service and support vehicles that keep communities and businesses running. From utility service trucks to field service vans and specialty vocational vehicles, these vehicles must power equipment, support crews in the field, and perform reliably across variable daily 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. CTE helps commercial and private fleets plan and deploy clean transportation technologies with confidence.
From early-stage planning and grant writing, vehicle procurement, infrastructure development, and deployment, we support fleets at every step of the transition. Our approach is practical and tailored—focused on minimizing disruption while ensuring operations remain clean, reliable, and efficient over the long term.

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.
