Problem
The heavy-duty transportation sector faces increasing pressure to reduce emissions and improve fuel efficiency, but the high upfront costs and operational complexities of transitioning to electric vehicles pose significant barriers for many businesses. Traditional diesel-powered refrigeration units and auxiliary power units (APUs) on trucks and trailers contribute substantially to air pollution and noise, particularly in urban areas.
Solution
Tandem provides modular electric vehicle solutions designed to electrify existing heavy-duty transportation assets, lowering both emissions and operational expenses. Their core offering includes hybrid-electric refrigerated trailers and gensets that can be easily integrated with existing fleets. By electrifying these components, Tandem enables businesses to reduce their reliance on diesel fuel, lower their carbon footprint, and comply with increasingly stringent environmental regulations. The modular design allows for flexible deployment across various vehicle types, including trailers, trucks, and straight trucks.
Target Audience
Tandem's primary customers are logistics companies, trucking fleets, and businesses that rely on refrigerated transportation and are seeking cost-effective ways to reduce emissions and improve fuel efficiency.
