Rocky Mountain Institute today announced the result of elections for NACFE executive leadership. The team is responsible for working with the Board of Directors and Founders Group on Council operations, and to develop the first phase of analysis service offerings.
During the first board meeting of the newly formed North American Council for Freight Efficiency, the council discussed its plans for the near future, including gathering information on freight efficiency technologies, vetting that information through the board of directors and an advisory committee, and the creation of a library of credible information on technologies to help the trucking industry achieve greater efficiencies.
Working in conjunction with the North American Council for Freight Efficiency, the Rocky Mountain Institute hosted a gathering in the autumn to help speed development and adoption of technology that will transform the industry.
The North American Council for Freight Efficiency (NACFE) today announced the results of its selection of Board of Directors, after an election by online ballot.
In October, RMI and trucking industry leaders launched the North American Council for Freight Efficiency to look holistically at the opportunities to double trucking efficiency by changing operations and employing technologies that are available now.
The NACFE aims to drive the adoption of efficient technologies by working with industry stakeholders to establish and communicate credible and performance-based benefits.
No reliable information, lots of snake oil, no trust.To address these problems, RMI launched the North American Council for Freight Efficiency in November, vowing to work with stakeholders from across the industry to get sensible solutions on the table for truckers.
The newly-formed North American Council for Freight Efficiency (NACFE) aims to accomplish some pretty big goals, chief among them the reinvention of the trucking industry so it can carry just as much freight on half the energy it currently consumes. But first the group must fill a more immediate need — obtaining funding.
Leaders of the Rocky Mountain Institute’s MOVE (MObility + Vehicle Efficiency) team have announced that they are joining with trucking industry leaders to inaugurate the North American Council for Freight Efficiency (NACFE).
U.S. truck operators are under pressure to improve energy efficiency as rail companies tout their green credentials and bid to win more freight haulage … On the other side of the ledger, the Rocky Mountain Institute, a nonprofit environmental group based in Colorado, has created the National Council for Freight Efficiency to help the freight trucking industry become more environmentally efficient.
Even if you consider yourself a very conscientious citizen, your life is still touched by trucking, still a wildly inefficient industry.
The inaugural meeting of the North American Council for Freight Efficiency (NACFE) will be held on the 3rd of November at the University of Chicago. The hope of organisers is that the trucking sector can halve the amount of energy it uses for the same amount of freight carried. This can be achieved, they believe, by making fleet owners and drivers aware of the benefits of new technologies (see previous stories) from reputable developers that could assist their efficiency whilst improving their profitability.
RMI is teaming up with trucking industry leaders to create the North American Council for Freight Efficiency (NACFE), with the goal of helping to reinvent the trucking industry to carry just as much freight on half as much energy.
According to recent analysis by RMI, the technology already exists to double the energy efficiency of long-haul trucks in the nation’s fleet.
Boulder, CO. Leaders of RMI’s MOVE team (http://move.rmi.org/) have announced that they are joining with trucking industry leaders to inaugurate the North American Council for Freight Efficiency (NACFE) with the goal of helping to reinvent the trucking industry to carry just as much freight on half as much energy. The new group will collect, assess, and circulate information on performance and efficiency…
RMI has launched the North American Council for Freight Efficiency, an industry partnership to work on bringing more efficient trucking technologies to market.
San Francisco, CA. Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI), which today kicks off a three-day energy-efficiency conference at the Westin-Market Street on the theme of “reinventing fire,” next will turn to helping reinvent the U.S. trucking industry. Leaders of RMI’s MOVE team (http://move.rmi.org/) will announce at the RMI2009 conference here (http://www.rmi2009.org) that they are joining with industry…
