The transition to zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) technologies is full of complexities, and a successful implementation relies on a successful planning process. But the larger question remains, when and how to start? During this session, Analy Castillo, a ZEV expert with more than 12 years of specialized focus in this field, will walk through a data-centric approach to address the challenges of transitioning to zero-emission fleets. Focusing on lessons learned from working with large, medium, and small public works fleets, this session will review the process, methodology, and best practices for identifying what ZEV technology (hydrogen or electric) is a good fit for the specific operational needs of each fleet, as well as other key components like procurement timelines, to accomplish a successful transitioning to ZEV.
After this session, participants will be better able to:
• Identify the data required to start a planning process to transition fleets to zero-emission technologies.
• Evaluate what modeling strategies are required to identify if hydrogen or battery electric vehicles are an ideal fit for their operations.
• Outline the key components needed for a robust and comprehensive transition strategy to zero-emission fleets.
