Breaking the chicken and egg in electrification - Autonomus & Electric Vehicle Summit
from FreightWaves LIVE: An Events Podcast · host FreightWaves
Most people think of Proterra as an early player in electric transit buses. That is accurate but incomplete. The company has expanded into battery packs and electric infrastructure. Telling that story is part of the reason it chose to go public via SPAC rather than a more restrictive initial public offering. The path to scaling the business includes partnerships with eight major transportation providers from Daimler Trucks to Komatsu construction equipment. Join Jack Allen, Chairman & CEO at Proterra, and Alan Adler, Detroit Bureau Chief at FreightWaves, in this fireside chat.
