Saia partners with Tesla
LTL freight carrier Saia has taken another step forward in sustainable transportation by introducing the first two Tesla semi-trucks to its fleet in California. Saia has thus become one of the early testers of Tesla’s new electric semi-truck.
Tesla has produced the battery-electric truck in the USA since 2022. It is powered by three motors, and according to Tesla has three times the power of a typical diesel semi-truck. The vehicle has a range of about 800 km on a single charge and can operate at an energy use of less than 1.2 kWh/km.
Saia was founded in 1924. The company handles more than 35,000 shipments daily and operates more than 214 terminals in the USA. (ben)
