How to get started with the T680E

When using the T680E for the first time, there are a few things to consider. Make sure your entire fleet is ready before adding a zero-emission truck.

The T680E, as a zero-emission vehicle, necessitates a fleet capable of supporting it. This means that the vehicle will be able to be charged and refueled thanks to the proper infrastructure.

To charge the vehicle, you'll need a dedicated space and a way to plug it in. You'll also need a mechanism to replenish the hydrogen in the tank. Using a portable hydrogen tank or hooking up the truck to a hydrogen station will work. 

Your T680E will work smoothly and efficiently if you have the proper infrastructure.

You may also choose between purchasing and leasing a truck as a secondary consideration. Because leasing allows you to get started with the vehicle without making a huge upfront commitment, it is generally the ideal option for fleets.

Alternatively, you can look into  financing options that may be  right for you and your financial situation. Consult with your financial advisor to determine which choice is ideal for your company out of the available options.

A preventative maintenance and operating plan must also be drawn up for the truck. This will help keep it in good working order and protect the safety of your drivers. Trucks must be maintained, and drivers must be able to operate them safely to ensure their long-term viability. 

What to include in a Green Trucking preventative maintenance plan for your  T680E truck:

First, the truck must be serviced and inspected regularly. This will assist in identifying any potential issues before they become serious. 

Second, the truck must be regularly cleaned and organized. This will aid in keeping it running smoothly and avoiding accidents. 

Finally, the drivers must be trained on operating the truck properly. This includes knowing how to load and unload cargo, perform pre and post trip inspections, among other things.

The Bottom Line

In terms of environmentally-friendly practices in the transportation industry, green trucking is undeniably an area where many steps need to be taken toward improvement before we can really call it green in any sense of the word.
