October 2023 • ASPIRE received a grant from the Department of Energy to develop a plan for multi-modal electrification along the Wasatch Front. The project will deliver a 20-year medium- and heavy-duty zero-emission vehicle (MHD ZEV) infrastructure deployment plan — benefitting the communities that experience the most impacts from freight emissions.
This electrification plan involves a comprehensive network of charging systems, hydrogen generation, intelligent grid management, and transportation planning.
It will demonstrate affordable, energy-efficient transportation planning to benefit all users — from electrified commercial fleets and freight transportation to public transit and private vehicles, and even airspace and drone charging technologies.

ASPIRE received a grant from the Department of Energy to develop a plan for multi-modal electrification along the Wasatch Front. The project will deliver a 20-year medium- and heavy-duty zero-emission vehicle (MHD ZEV) infrastructure deployment plan — benefitting the communities that experience the most impacts from freight emissions.
The corridor project will demonstrate affordable, energy-efficient transportation planning to benefit all users — from electrified commercial fleets and freight transportation to public transit and private vehicles, and even airspace and drone charging technologies. This project will prioritize community impacts and be maintained by state and industry support, even beyond the 20-year planning period.
We will deliver a plan highlighting opportunities on the I-15 corridor for:
Intermodal Charging Hubs: determined by commuter and light rail roadmaps.
Multi-Megawatt Substations: located at hubs to coordinate with grid loads.
Fast Charging Networks & Hydrogen Generation: to support battery electric and hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (BEV/FCEV) of all sizes (trucks for freight, trains, buses, shuttles, and personal vehicles).
Electrified Roadways: leverage shared infrastructure on roads and railways to manage peak load times and grid efficiency.
Shared Public Infrastructure: to reduce costs and emissions related to transportation.
This electrification plan involves a comprehensive network of static and dynamic charging systems, hydrogen generation, intelligent grid management, and multi-modal transportation planning.
