Problem
Fleet operators face high operating costs and emissions from aging diesel trucks, and replacing the entire vehicle fleet with new electric trucks requires large capital expenditures and generates additional waste.
Solution
Trova offers diesel‑to‑electric (D2E) repowering services that convert existing diesel trucks into fully battery‑electric vehicles. The process removes the internal combustion engine, fuel system, exhaust, and transmission, and installs an electric drivetrain, battery packs, and an auxiliaries cradle. By retaining the original chassis, cab, and axles, the conversion extends the service life of the asset while delivering zero‑emission operation and higher energy efficiency. Trova’s repowering integrates renewable‑energy‑compatible charging and smart energy‑optimisation software to lower electricity costs and maximize utilization. The result is a circular, cost‑effective solution that reduces total cost of ownership, maintenance expenses, and regulatory taxes for logistics companies.
Target Audience
Primary customers are medium to large logistics fleets and transportation companies seeking to modernise their diesel truck inventory while controlling capital spend and meeting sustainability mandates.
