Infrastructure and Alternative Energies

Joining Barney are distinguished guests Professor Colin Herron CBE from Newcastle University, United Kingdom, and Nate Valaik, Director of Strategy for Alternative Energy & Sustainability Fleets at Vontier, United States, as they explore Episode 3 which deep dives into the pressing questions surrounding the transition to sustainable transportation solutions.

Here, the team pay close attention to the statement "there’s no transition without transmission", and examine the critical role of infrastructure in enabling the adoption of alternative energies. The discussion also touches on the strategic placement of motorway services, the gaps in electric vehicle (EV) and alternative energy infrastructure, and the optimization of charging and refueling processes.

As the “Mobilizing the Future of Fleets” Podcast conversation unfolds, viewers can gain valuable insights into the need for innovative business models that commoditize energy both ways, allowing fleets to sell excess energy back into the grid. Additionally, the team also discuss the increasing complexity of the transportation ecosystem and the role of technology in addressing these challenges.

Don't miss this dynamic exchange between Barney Goffer, Professor Colin Herron, and Nate Valaik as they navigate the intricacies of transportation infrastructure and alternative energies, paving the way for a more sustainable future.
