Range Energy, a hardware company bringing powered trailers to the commercial trucking market, is launching its operational expenditure (OpEx) savings calculator for commercial fleet owners and operators. The first-of-its-kind online calculator captures and analyzes unique data points from fleets, including the price they pay for diesel fuel, baseline fuel efficiency, current electricity costs, and miles driven per year to determine overall maintenance, fuel, and electricity savings from the implementation of electric powered trailers within their existing fleets.
Preliminary third-party testing data and early customer pilots have shown Range’s electric trailers generate fuel efficiency gains of nearly 40% with 300 miles of full assist range and can cut NOx emissions by up to 70%.
With its unique measures, the OpEx calculator underscores the critical addition of Range’s technology to today’s fleets by comparing the way each fleet operates and how implementing electric trailers can enable fuel, electricity, and maintenance savings.
Range’s electric-powered trailers allow fleets to immediately progress toward their electrification goals, as the equipment is compatible with today’s diesel-powered tractors, as well as the future’s electric semis.
“Range’s trailers are a future-proof investment: they’re cost-effective and deliver emissions improvements today that will only enhance over time,” said Ali Javidan, CEO and founder of Range Energy. “The OpEx calculator is a valuable resource that puts critical data into the hands of fleet owners and operators to better comprehend the cost and efficiency benefits they can achieve today. Our trailers are built to serve as an accelerant for the electric transition, meeting fleets’ immediate needs and long-term ambitions.”
In the last year, Range launched its Dealer Advisory Council with top commercial OEM dealers and became the first trailer electrification platform eligible for California’s Clear Off-Road Equipment (CORE) voucher incentive project.
