TITAN Freight Systems Receives First Battery Electric Freightliner eCascadia in Oregon
We received our first three all-electric Freightliner eCascadia’s on July 20th, 2023. Through partnerships with Portland General Electric and Freightliner, and with support from Oregon Department of Environmental Quality and Key Bank, we were the first Freight Carrier in Oregon to get these modern marvels of technology. These trucks will usher in a whole new chapter of reaching our sustainability goals and get us ever closer to becoming carbon neutral.
What does 64 METRIC TONS LESS OF CO2 a year look like? Every 100 gallons of fuel reduced is one less metric ton of CO2 (Carbon Dioxide – A greenhouse gas produced in concentrated volumes when fossil fuels are burned) emitted into our atmosphere. Investing in the details adds up to big reductions in emissions and expenses. We have implemented a range of practices to decrease fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, with the ultimate goal of being emissions free by 2030.
Full Roof Fairings
Fuel Economy – 7.5% improvement
Fuel Reduced – 1800 gallons per truck annually
CO2 Reduced – 18 metric tons per truck annually
Full height roof fairings create a smooth aerodynamic transition from the truck cab to the top of the trailer, reducing drag and improving fuel efficiency.
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Fuel Economy – 5% improvement
Fuel Reduced – 1200 gallons per truck annually
CO2 Reduced – 12 metric tons per truck annually
Cutting edge technology providing a real-time dashboard that alerts drivers on how to maximize miles per gallon and safety habits. Our AI provides a positive, supportive comment and scoring system that results in quarterly bonus’ for all team members that meet our Greenzone minimum.
Engine Idling Reduction Technology
Fuel Economy – 4.2% improvement
Fuel Reduced – 1000 gallons per truck annually
CO2 Reduced – 10 metric tons per truck annually
Idling reduction technology reduces the amount of time the engine runs while the truck is standing still. Idling creates unnecessary emissions, increases wear on the engine and wastes fuel
Low Rolling Resistant Eco Tires
Fuel Economy – 3% improvement
Fuel Reduced – 720 gallons per truck annually
CO2 Reduced – 7.2 metric tons per truck annually
These tires are designed to lessen friction, reducing the required energy to keep the tire rolling, which decreases workload on the engine improving fuel economy.
Wheel Covers
Fuel Economy – 1.5% improvement
Fuel Reduced – 360 gallons per truck annually
CO2 Reduced – 3.6 metric tons per truck annually
Wheel covers are another small and simple way of improving overall aerodynamics by reducing wind resistance.
Aerodynamic Mud Flaps
Fuel Economy – 1% improvement
Fuel Reduced – 240 gallons per truck annually
CO2 Reduced – 2.4 metric tons per truck annually
Aerodynamic mud flaps allow air to pass through the flap while still providing surrounding vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians protection from flying debris.
Trailer Side Skirts
Fuel Economy – 4.5% improvement
Fuel Reduced – 1080 gallons per truck annually
CO2 Reduced – 10.8 metric tons per truck annually
Without side skirts pockets of turbulence can develop underneath and behind a trailer, creating drag on the truck. Adding side skirts improves efficiency by pushing the air out and around the trailer wheels, improving aerodynamics.
Paperless Delivery
The only LTL carrier in the Northwest, like UPS and FedEx package carriers, that relies on a paperless delivery process utilizing handheld delivery dock management and signature capture technology – saving 300 reams of paper every year and countless trees.
