- Range Energy completed a multi‑year winter testing program that validated the performance of its production‑ready eTrailer system, a key step toward commercial rollout.
- Range Energy’s eTrailer can cut fleet fuel costs by up to 70 % and improve semi‑truck fuel efficiency by as much as 36 %, according to field data from a California egg farm and other tests.
- Collin MacGregor, Range Energy’s Vice President of Product, highlighted the trailer’s ability to provide emergency grid‑storage capacity without requiring drivers to switch to new trucks.
- Range Energy announced two new partners to electrify refrigerated trailers, extending its e‑axle platform beyond dry‑goods applications.
Why it matters: Fleet operators gain up to 70 % fuel savings and a faster path to electrification, while diesel fuel suppliers lose market share; the eTrailer’s grid‑storage ability also bolsters grid resilience during peak demand.
