Building the market for clean transportation at @GNA_Consulting. EV, natural gas, biogas, biofuel, hydrogen for commercial trucking, shipping, and air.

Couldn't be more excited to be one of the first, safe events to return to in-person. EVs, hydrogen fuel cell, renewable natural gas, renewable diesel for fleets are at a tipping point. Aug 30-Sep 2 in beautiful Long Beach, CA. https://t.co/N8qwcJdLTW

Comprehensive assessment of the changes in vehicles, fleet management, and the role of utilities for electric bus fleets in 2030 by @VicShao. Spot on: "For electric transportation to scale, the entire ecosystem needs to speak the same language. Today, the…https://t.co/BCkrF1q3AC

Add to this: delay climate talks. Best objective list I've seen so far. Good find, @bitarafv https://t.co/dHgAUDl5Ev

It impresses me how much still gets done during this crisis. Washington is about to make the entire West Coast "zero emissions vehicle" states. Oregon, California, Washington are among 12 states setting timelines for EV and hydroge…https://t.co/79JtFtcIpB https://t.co/UUbqICslTH

There aren't many places investors can go to see the technology, entrepreneurs, and successful growth businesses in advanced tech for fleets. So we decided to host them where we already have nearly 300 companies with a booth and 4,000 attendees. https://t.co/soFb2rInYV

A year ago this week I stepped into a new role with GNA that continued my career mission to build the clean transport market. I celebrate with the announcement of the ACT Fleet Forum, a best-practice discussion group for advanced…https://t.co/V7OrUK7dxF https://t.co/pTAYxwNZLO

I'm digging this Millennials vs. Boomers fight as an impartial Gen Xer. Good data in this article:

Nine ⁦@washingtonpost⁩ reporters on multiple continents worked all day to deliver this sweeping report from the #ClimateStrike.

Kids around the world all told us the same thing: Change is coming. https://t.co/n0O3LlOtSp

Even bigger news than I thought we might see from Amazon's investment in electric truck startup Rivian: Amazon to order 100,000 electric delivery trucks. Superb biz model innovation...1) Invest, 2) Buy, 3) Save, then deliver emissions-free.

Must-read quick article on hydrogen, it's potential for clean energy and transport goals, and "hydrogen v. electric". Best summary on why hydrogen is a linchpin for a low-emission, low-carbon economy and why we need both hydrogen and EV.

Electrifying fleets is a BIG opportunity to grow demand for utilities, but that connection isn't easy to make. My colleagues recently supported PG&E, Ryder, and Pittsburg Unified school district to produce this educational piece that helps fleets plug in.

@elaineishere @katiefehren @panamaredhat @kileykroh @Silvio_Marcacci @ryanschuchard @brucenilles @JustinGerdes @B2TheK808 Forth has some people I can refer you to. GE's Maven doing some interesting projects that may include this.

Do you agree? "Charge up! The electric vehicle market is reaching its tipping point"

https://t.co/EQTuHbJ2Jw

If not, what's your milepost for the electric vehicle tipping point in the U.S.?

[Nate Springer @Nate_Springer]

Bipartisan transportation Senate bill released. This SHOULD be bipartisan. Headlines:

-$3Bn to cut emissions
-$1Bn for EV & hydrogen infrastructure
-Up 27% from the last highway bill

Isn't enough, but it's a start.

Cleaner, cost-effective, with big renewable supply.

[Nate Springer @Nate_Springer]

Why we need to keep the focus on freight, esp. home delivery, with great examples of companies leading the way to make this sector the next "renewable" revolution (except it's just called "zero-emission delivery").

Daily fixed route is exactly where I could see autonomous vehicles getting established. Walmart's pilots with autonomous van startup Gatik to "automate Walmart’s 'hub and spoke' warehouse system" makes so much sense.

Important step for better, cleaner transport technology.

[Daimler Truck NA @DaimlerTruckNA]

Between our test fleet and the @freightliner Electric Innovation Fleet, we will put 50 electric trucks on North American roads by the end of 2019. Through testing, co-creation and collaboration with @PenskeNews and @nfiindustries, we're #LeadingTheCharge to an electrified future.

[Nate Springer @Nate_Springer]

Very good overview: the future of trucking is zero-emissions, so how do we get there...and when? I agree the options are: battery-electric, hydrogen fuel cell, and hybrid solutions. But when, and what role does renewable natural gas play?

What's interesting about Toyota's entry into the EV market with 6 fully electric vehicles to launch starting in 2020 is that they were on the fence for so long. Another example of a major automaker saying, "Whoops, we underestimated demand on this one."
