The company has been chosen to showcase its solutions at this year’s Commercial Vehicle Cleantech Challenge (CVCC) hosted in Denver, CO.

The challenge is managed by Colorado Cleantech Industries Association and North American Council for Freight Efficiency (NACFE) in partnership with an internationally recognized team of industry leaders including Great Dane, UPS, Schneider Trucks, Kenworth, Xcel, Woodward, Toyota, Clean Cities, Rocky Mountain Institute, CALSTART and NREL.

“The transition to electric fleets is inevitable, however there are many hurdles to overcome as the entire value chain is being disrupted,” said Harris. “Electriphi’s solutions help the transition and operational management as fleet managers look to electrification. I’m thrilled to be a part of this journey with Electriphi as they scale their solution set to a broad range of partner and customer segments.”
