There were just over 2,000 electric trucks on U.S. roads at the end of 2019. This stock is expected to grow to over 54,000 by 2025, according to new analysis from Wood Mackenzie. Compared to passenger electric vehicle (EV) and electric bus penetration levels, the electric truck market is still in its infancy. But the need to electrify the sector is clear: Medium- and heavy-duty vehicles (MDV/HDV) are the second largest contributor to U.S. transportation emissions.

Global wind turbine manufacturer Vestas has reinstated its 2020 guidance as the outlook for the year begins to solidify. The full-year revenue guidance is the same as it was prior to its suspension in April, though its forecast earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) margin has been cut from 7 to 9 percent to 5 to 7 percent. While the reinstated guidance was a bright spot in Vestas' quarterly report, it was overshadowed somewhat by a €175 million ($206 million) warranty charge for rep

With the first wave of the energy transition, renewable energy sources (such as solar and wind) have begun replacing coal power generation. However, some sectors are lagging behind and struggling to decarbonize more than others, including large-scale transportation like commercial aviation, shipping, and rail transit. Electrofuels (aka eFuels) are the next generation of solutions to help the hardest-to-abate sectors pivot from their reliance on fossil fuels.
