The exclusive event featured eM2 and eCascadia ride and drive opportunities for local customers and dealer staff. The DTNA team walked through the truck development and features and addressed questions regarding battery life, maintenance, infrastructure planning and reliability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Local utility contractor Potelco, Inc. was provided a prototype Freightliner eM2 flatbed to test viability and use for their business needs in February 2021. Potelco has put the eM2 to work each day and it is proving to be beneficial for local transportation of wire, piping, and short-range equipment delivery. The Potelco eM2 was displayed during the Pacific eMobility Road Show event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Puget Sound Energy (PSE) attended the event and provided information on local energy incentives and infrastructure. The PSE team was knowledgeable and they are committed to helping businesses with electric vehicle transitions and implementations. Carbon reduction and electric transportation is on the forefront of PSE initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the Pacific event, the Road Show moved south, stopping at Freightliner Northwest in Coburg, Ore. on April 23, 2021. Customers and students from the local community college heavy equipment program joined the FNW-Coburg team to learn about the EV trucks through ride and drive opportunities and demonstrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><em>We were happy to host events for our customers interested in the electric trucks.
