To reduce emissions from short-distance drayage routes, ASPIRE will install a dynamic charging system at the Utah Inland Port. This will include two dynamic wireless power transfer (DWPT) systems: one co-developed with ASPIRE’s team at Purdue University and one using the Electreon DWPT system.
To address the poor air quality along the Wasatch Front, ASPIRE has partnered with Kenworth, UPS, and WAVE to create two zero-emissions routes using a battery-electric Kenworth truck powered by two static 1-megawatt chargers. Developed by ASPIRE’s team at USU, this 1-MW WPT system will be deployed at the EVR in Logan and the Utah Inland Port in Salt Lake City.
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.
