“Shorepower gains full control of Electrification Project”
Shorepower has gained complete control of the Shorepower Truck Electrification Project (STEP), according to a press release. As part of a $10 million project funded by the U.S. Department of Energy under the Recovery Act, truck drivers can now plug into the outlets to run air conditioners, heaters and appliances rather than keep the engines idling for power. To reduce the nation’s dependency on foreign oil, the Department of Energy’s goal with the project was to reduce the use of diesel fuel.
