Skyways Electric Vehicle (EV)
Most extensive third-party dedicated yard management battery electric (EV) spotter fleet in North America.
We began our EV journey in 2017 with the first commercially viable battery electric yard spotter. Since then we have crunched the operating and safety data, talked with our customers and drivers, and substantially increased the size and breadth of our EV fleet.
CapEx Savings
Not in your budget cycle, but ready to employ EVs? Thinking the cost is prohibitive? Believe you can do it cheaper? The price for the chargers and the EV trucks are 2.5 to 3 times higher than diesel. … However, Skyways can quickly turn a capital expense into an operating cost – and you do not buy equipment, which is cost-effective.
Today’s Best Alternative to Diesel
Our EVs require less maintenance and offer better uptime than their diesel counterparts. There is no better use case today for Class 8 battery-electric trucks than spotters/terminal tractors. This is because spotting is low-speed, start-and-stop, short-haul, off-road work with immediate access to charging infrastructure.
Supports Your Scope 3 GHG Goals
Our EVs emit ZERO tailpipe CO2, NOx, or PM2.5. Skyways electric vehicles directly support your Scope 3 greenhouse gas reduction goals while improving air quality for your employees and the residents of the communities in which you operate.
Turnkey EV Solution – We Provide It All
Electric vehicle terminal tractors, labor, operation, maintenance, and repair – WE PROVIDE IT ALL. Our trucks and chargers are carefully tested to work together, and our EV manufacturers train our drivers.
Are You WAIRE Compliant?
The WAIRE Program has been implemented in Southern California to meet air quality standards and improve public health by reducing warehouse-associated diesel emissions. You can partially or wholly offset your WAIRE point compliance obligation (WPCO) with Skyways turnkey EV solution.
