eTRUC

The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) and CALSTART manage the Electric Truck Research and Utilization Center (eTRUC), California’s premier Research Hub for Electric Technologies in Truck Applications (RHETTA). With co-funding from the California Energy Commission’s Electric Program Investment Charge, eTRUC is a stakeholder-driven consortium of industry, government, academia, and community partners committed to the development, advancement, and deployment of innovative medium- and heavy-duty (MD/HD) high-power charging infrastructure along key freight corridors that promote the adoption of Class 7 and 8 battery-electric zero-emission (ZE) trucks. eTRUC follows a “Community-First” approach to 1) engage stakeholders, 2) advance technology, and 3) create ZE freight corridors.
