Entire Fleet Transitioning To Hybrid Battery Solution

New Partnership Between Stevens Transport and Dragonfly Energy

Stevens Transport, North America’s leading temperature-controlled carrier, is pleased to announce its partnership with Dragonfly Energy to integrate innovative lithium-ion battery technology into its fleet operations. This collaboration marks a significant step forward in enhancing the efficiency and sustainability of Stevens Transport’s transportation solutions.

While many companies in the transportation industry remain focused on the full electrification of fleets, Stevens Transport and Dragonfly Energy are championing a more immediate and attainable approach: hybrid electrification. This strategy combines a combustion engine alongside lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries, providing a cost-effective, sustainable solution that enhances fleet performance and decreases operational costs.

By adopting Dragonfly Energy’s lithium-ion batteries, Stevens Transport is taking bold strides toward a greener and more efficient future. The advanced battery technology provides several key advantages over traditional lead-acid batteries, including longer lifespan, lighter weight, and faster recharging times. These benefits align perfectly with Stevens Transport’s commitment to delivering reliable and environmentally conscious transportation services.

The integration of lithium-ion batteries allows Stevens Transport to reduce maintenance costs and improve the overall operational efficiency of its fleet. With the ability to charge batteries more quickly, drivers experience less downtime, ensuring timely deliveries and enhanced customer satisfaction. Furthermore, the lighter weight of these batteries contributes to improved fuel efficiency, lowering overall operating costs and reducing the environmental impact of Stevens Transport’s operations.

“At Stevens Transport, we are dedicated to leveraging innovative technologies that drive efficiency and sustainability in our operations,” said Nick Forte, Vice President of Maintenance at Stevens Transport. “Partnering with Dragonfly Energy enables us to stay at the forefront of the industry by adopting solutions that benefit both our business and the environment.”

This initiative underscores Stevens Transport’s leadership in setting new standards for sustainability in the logistics industry. As the company continues to embrace cutting-edge technologies, it reinforces its reputation as a forward-thinking and responsible transportation provider.
