2021 State of Sustainable Fleets Shows Continued Growth of Clean Tech Availability, Adoption

In an update to last year’s inaugural State of Sustainable Fleets Report, GNA’s 2021 Market and Trends Brief shows that even with the ongoing effects felt from the COVID-19 pandemic, the clean tech industry made progressive steps, leading to greater adoption by fleets across the country.

This year’s supplement to the 2020 report examines the current state of leading on-road clean vehicle technologies for fleet operators. Sourced from more than 400 survey results from medium- and heavy-duty fleet operators across the U.S., the assessment’s findings also include industry data and independent technical analysis. New this year, short educational “Miniguides” were produced on each of the four leading clean vehicle drivetrain technologies covered in the 2021 Market and Trends Brief: Propane Vehicles, Natural Gas Vehicles, Battery-Electric Vehicles, and Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles.

“This year’s analysis and extensive fleet survey reinforces what we have been witnessing across the industry,” said Erik Neandross, CEO of GNA, the firm authoring the report. “With the total cost of ownership increasingly being confirmed across multiple clean fuel and technology options, fleets continue to expand their commitment to and investment in these sustainable vehicle options, a trend we fully expect to continue to accelerate in the coming few years.”

Produced with support from the report’s title sponsors Daimler Trucks North America, Penske Transportation Solutions, and Shell Oil Company, and supporting sponsors Cummins, Inc., DTE Energy, and Geotab, the report offers additional insights into the key trends shaping the clean vehicle market. The assessment focuses on the leading sustainable fuel and vehicle technologies being adopted in the medium- and heavy-duty fleet sectors: gasoline/diesel fleet and engine efficiency, natural gas vehicles, propane vehicles, battery-electric vehicles, hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles, and renewable fuels for each of the technology options. The analysis covers public, private, and for-hire fleets, including school, municipal, shuttle, urban delivery, refuse, public utility, transit, regional-haul, and long-haul sectors.
