A new Class 8 electrification project is underway at Zeronox.
Our team is preparing a 2016 Peterbilt 579 day cab tractor for conversion from a Cummins CNG powertrain to battery-electric operation. This Semi Truck has a GVWR of 52,000 pounds and represents the kind of existing commercial equipment that can be evaluated for a new operating life through electrification.
The project is being completed for Premier Trailer in partnership with Tule River Economic Development Corporation , with support from California Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz) .
Work is now underway in our Vehicle Integration Facility. We look forward to sharing more of the engineering and installation process as the conversion progresses.
