Cross-border freight traffic between the U.S., Canada, and Mexico necessitates consistent alternative fueling infrastructure due to varying regulations and technological capabilities. In 2023, millions of trucks crossed these borders, highlighting the need for uniform powertrain technology to facilitate seamless trade and reduce transloading events. PRIMO’s advanced technology and human-first approach streamline cross-border logistics, mitigating the inefficiencies caused by inconsistent freight infrastructure.

Cross-Border Freight Truck Traffic and Zero-Emission Infrastructure

• Significance of Cross-Border Traffic: Freight truck traffic between the U.S., Canada, and Mexico is substantial, with millions of trucks crossing borders annually. This traffic is crucial for the economies of these countries.
• Infrastructure Consistency: The transition to zero-emission and alternative fuel trucks requires consistent infrastructure across borders. Differences in fueling and charging capabilities can hinder the adoption of new technologies.
• Economic Impact: Cross-border freight is a significant economic factor, with Canada and Mexico being top importers to the U.S. Inconsistent infrastructure planning could lead to inefficiencies and increased costs.
• Future Planning: Properly factoring in cross-border freight traffic is essential for the successful transition to alternative fuel trucks, impacting trade, jobs, and profits.
