100 Battery-Electric Trucks
Volvo Trucks North America and Daimler Truck North America will produce a combined 100 Class 8 battery-electric trucks for regional haul and drayage.
The Joint Electric Truck Scaling Initiative (JETSI) will achieve the largest single deployment of battery-electric Class 8 trucks in North America to date.
This groundbreaking project, happening in Southern California, will significantly advance the market penetration of zero-emission technology and achieve emission reductions at scale

Chargers
1MW Solar Energy Generation
To charge the vehicles, heavy-duty chargers will be installed at two sites. The chargers at NFI's Ontario facility will utilize renewable electricity generated through solar power, supported by 5 MWh of battery energy storage.
JETSI will deliver substantial emission reductions and mitigate negative health impacts from goods movement-related activities along Southern California's freight corridors.

Funding Partners
JETSI is the first battery-electric truck project jointly financed by California Air Resources Board (CARB) and the California Energy Commission (CEC), which together awarded the project $27 million. Additional funding was provided by South Coast AQMD, MSRC, the San Pedro Bay Ports and SCE. This Zero-Emission Drayage Truck and Infrastructure Pilot Project is part of California Climate Investments, a statewide program that puts billions of Cap-and-Trade dollars to work reducing greenhouse gas emissions, strengthening the economy and improving public health and the environment — particularly in disadvantaged communities.
