October 14, 2024 [Pittsburgh, PA] — Optimus Technologies, a leader in decarbonization technology, is proud to offer leading trucking fleets in North America an opportunity to experience the complete Optimus Ecosystem via a new Demo Truck Program. The program offers fleet operators the unique opportunity to trial a Volvo tractor fully equipped with the Optimus Vector System, which enables the use of 100% biodiesel (B100), to validate its potential for scalable adoption in their operations. This initiative demonstrates Optimus' commitment to accelerating fully scalable, reliable, and cost-effective immediately deployable fleet carbon reduction solutions.

The Optimus Ecosystem offers a complete turnkey solution for fleets to achieve an immediate reduction in carbon emissions, supporting the transition to net-zero transportation without the need for investment in cost-prohibitive new vehicle technologies and corresponding infrastructure.

Key Benefits of the Low-Carbon Demo Truck Program Include:

• Immediate 85-95% reduction in Scope 1 carbon emissions

• Lowest cost solution for decarbonizing long-haul lanes 

• No reduction in range, no fuel anxiety, no change in operations

• Access to the complete Optimus Ecosystem for a turnkey decarbonization solution including refueling logistics and supply partners

Optimus Technologies CEO, Colin Huwyler, said, “We’re excited to roll out this program to partner with fleet operators who are serious about providing shippers a low-carbon option. The transportation industry continues to face growing pressure to decarbonize, and the Optimus Ecosystem provides fleets a turn-key solution to do so today without impacting business operations or compromising budget capacity.

How to Participate: Fleets can sign up online or contact a member of our account executive team to request an assessment for integration of the Optimus’ Low-Carbon Volvo Demo Truck into their operations. The assessment will encompass several key areas including emission reductions, refueling logistics, fuel supply partners, and economic feasibility including an evaluation of potential grant funding opportunities. The program is open to fleets with 50 trucks or more, looking to evaluate the benefits of 100% biodiesel for long-haul and regional operations. 

With this new program, Optimus Technologies continues to lead the way in renewable fueling solutions, providing the transportation industry with a practical, sustainable path to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on fossil fuels.
