It is something we learned from Japanese businesspeople.

I was one of four trained facilitators who was able to help unearth some amazing actions for us to work on collectively and individually.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">On Day 2 we immersed ourselves in Norway, a country that is leading in the area of electrified transportation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Here are a few things I learned:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">99% of all power in the country is renewable.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">In March 2022, 83% of all new car sales were battery electric cars.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Plug-in hybrids are now on the way out with their share topped out at 20% and now under 10%.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">NIO, a Chinese electric auto manufacturer and provider of battery swapping systems that we visited, is operating in Oslo, Norway, and other countries.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">A World War II bunker has been turned into a car parking and charging garage for EVs.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">There are five all-electric ferries around the beautiful city of Oslo, each holding 300 people and more than 100 cars.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">We learned from drivers of electric delivery trucks operated by DB Schenker at the Oslo City Hub, a place where fleets can collaborate for various modes of electric goods movement.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">I came away from the trip both impressed and energized. There are so many smart people working on decarbonizing transportation, and they have plenty of innovative ideas on how to best accomplish that. I am also fascinated with the spirit of cooperation among the various parties that have a role to play in reducing emissions in the transportation sector. There seems to be an open exchange of information taking place as we all work to find the best ways to scale zero-emission vehicles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">I left Oslo more invigorated than ever about the ability to scale electric trucks in North America, and I am excited to chart NACFE\u2019s course for helping the trucking industry continue down the road to an electric future. If the opportunity presents itself, I suggest you \u201cgo and see\u201d what others are doing in the area of clean transportation. That way we can learn lessons from others who have already done some of what we aspire to.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\u00a0<i>Michael Roeth has worked in the commercial vehicle industry for nearly 30 years, most recently as executive director of the North American Council for Freight Efficiency.
