Fleets' Fuel Efficiency Rose in 2023, 2022: NACFE Study

Based on data from some of the North American freight industry's largest carriers, fleet-wide fuel efficiency averaged 7.77 miles per gallon in 2023, compared with 7.62 mpg in 2022.
The article from Transport Topics discusses the North American Council for Freight Efficiency's (NACFE) latest study on fuel efficiency in the trucking industry. The study, titled "2023 Run on Less – Electric DEPOT," focuses on the operational efficiency of electric trucks at various depots across North America. It highlights how electric trucks are being integrated into fleets, the infrastructure required for charging, and the real-world performance data collected from these operations. Key findings include significant reductions in fuel costs, lower maintenance expenses, and insights into the challenges and solutions related to electric vehicle adoption, such as range anxiety, charging logistics, and the impact on fleet management practices. The study aims to provide fleet operators with practical data to help transition to electric trucks, emphasizing the economic and environmental benefits of electrification.
