Forum Mobility

With a new partnership announced today, we're on track to cut our port-to-hub carbon emissions by nearly 95%. ? At this time last year, all trucks moving Lime's scooters, bikes, and parts from North American and European ports burned traditional fuels- diesel. ?? That was until we started looking for alternatives. ? Last spring, we launched a partnership with Hight Logistics, Inc. and Forum Mobility, utilizing an all-electric fleet for port logistics in North America. We also joined the World Economic Forum's Mission Possible Partnership, a commitment to fully decarbonize logistics. ?? And today we're announcing a new initiative for the other half of our inbound freight - a shift to HVO100, a biofuel based on vegetable oils, animal fats, or waste-based feedstocks, which is 90% lower carbon. Our two partners in Rotterdam, Alblas International Logistics and Neele-Vat, have already helped us save an estimated 7,100 kg of CO2 since we made the switch a few months ago. ?? To be clear, 90% isn't our end goal. It's just a mile-marker. We're actively searching for Rotterdam partners which can go all-electric and we’re pushing for the necessary infrastructure to get there. Excellent work Tom Hollestelle, Filip Hron, Greg Germon, Sam Loo, Candace Ferguson, John Jacobson, and the entire logistics and Lime team! #sustainability #logistics #trucking #drayage #ports #decarbonization #carbon #mobility #transportation #electrifyeverything #ridegreen #lime

You won't have to look very hard today?for hot takes on what the election results mean for the future, the country, and the trucking industry. A lot of the takes I've seen focus on the end of sustainability?in trucking. I don't see it that way. Environmentally?conscious BCOs will continue decreasing their carbon emissions, Scope 1, 2, and 3, and those companies will seek long-term partnerships with the truckers operating without relying on fossil fuels. When Talon deployed our first ZEV, I knew it was the right approach to creating a better, cleaner tomorrow. Nothing's changed. We'll continue?to increase the size of our clean fleet, using hydrogen, batteries, and whatever's next as a renewable source of power. #OptimisticForTheFuture #TalonSharp

On Nov 8, California Air Resources Board is scheduled to vote on a Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) reform package. While there are legitimate issues on biofuels and we would like to see a stronger commitment to using hold-back credits to support heavy duty trucks, on the whole, it’s a crucial tool to advancing zero emission trucking, and not passing it would be devastating to progress on zero emission freight. ? As a nascent industry, the economics of zero emission freight are challenging, and the LCFS program is one of the few that helps to close the gap and support a transition. Roughly speaking, a $100/credit represents upwards of $1000 in reduced fueling costs (depending on miles driven) for a driver of an electric class 8 truck. That's a huge deal. Freight is a business of vanishingly tight margins, and this revenue means everything to fleets looking to make the transition. ? The proposed amendments expand the program past 2030 to 2045, increase carbon intensity reductions to 90%, and takes several measures to reduce the accumulated bank of credits and increase credit values.?This programmatic expansion provides essential economic support to help fleets make the investments to operate ZEVs. ? Additionally, the proposed changes create a heavy-duty fast charging infrastructure crediting (HD-FCI) program, which is crucial in deploying the charging infrastructure necessary to support the Advanced Clean Trucks (ACT) and Advanced Clean Fleet (ACF) rules. The HD-FCI provision addresses utilization risks in the early market phases, helping solve the “chicken or egg” dilemma that currently hinders infrastructure deployment. It's a brilliant and immensely helpful advancement, and Forum Mobility is appreciative of staff collaboration in development. ? But bottom line, for administrative reasons the vote can't be extended, and if it doesn’t pass now, it goes into a black hole with an uncertain future. LCFS remains an essential tool for advancing our transportation electrification goals and regulations. There is no other program in California’s panoply of climate efforts that can replace the level and length of funding for transportation electrification that this proposal provides, and failure to extend the program would have a devastating impact California’s zero emission freight efforts.? ? We urge the Board to pass it, and continue to address extant biofuels issues and make additional improvements. ?
