NMFTA Launches Threat Reporting Portal to Strengthen Freight Network Risk Sharing
NMFTA released a new portal on June 3 for companies to anonymously report cybersecurity threats and freight fraud incidents. This initiative aims to promote industry information sharing, helping parties identify risks early and take preventive measures. Previously, the FBI listed related fraudulent tactics in an announcement on April 30; in May, FMCSA and the Department of Transportation launched an anti-fraud registration system; Congress is reviewing the "2025 Combating Organized Retail Crime Act." NMFTA also launched a freight fraud prevention center in March.

Kenvue Canada Electric Truck Pilot Project Saves Nearly 45% on Diesel Costs
The short-haul electric truck pilot project between Fuel Transport and Kenvue Canada has been running for over five months, with data showing nearly 45% savings on diesel costs. Fuel's Vice President of Operations, Peter Perrella, stated that the evaluation results are positive, and the project may expand to other markets, including the United States, in the future. The pilot will continue until December.
Kenvue Canada Electric Truck Pilot Project Saves Nearly 45% on Diesel Costs
The short-haul electric truck pilot project, a collaboration between Fuel Transport and Kenvue Canada, achieved a 44.7% reduction in diesel costs after five months of operation in the Greater Toronto Area. Peter Perrella, Vice President of Operations, stated that the evaluation focuses on long-term operational viability rather than short-term cost comparisons. The pilot will continue until December and may expand to the U.S. market in the future.
Survey shows fleets face challenges in utilizing telematics data
A survey released by SambaSafety in October 2025 shows that 66% of fleets consider interpreting or acting on data as the top telematics challenge, with device fragmentation being the main cause. Experts suggest addressing this through integrated platforms or third-party consulting.
Survey Shows Fleets Still Face Challenges in Utilizing Telematics Data
The return on investment in telematics technology depends on the efficiency of data usage. SambaSafety's latest survey indicates that 66% of fleets consider interpreting data or taking action based on it as the biggest challenge, with device fragmentation being the main cause. Experts recommend that large fleets integrate data into operations, while smaller fleets can leverage consulting firms.
Pure Electric Trucks Demonstrate Long-Haul Potential: Analysis of NACFE's 'Messy Middle' Real-World Test Report
In the 'Run on Less – Messy Middle' demonstration, the North American Council for Freight Efficiency (NACFE) evaluated multiple powertrains, with pure electric trucks averaging 409 miles per day on a five-state route from California to Texas, validating their long-haul potential on specific corridors. However, vehicle costs, charging infrastructure, and terrain limitations remain major barriers to scaled deployment.
Pure electric trucks demonstrate long-haul potential: NACFE 'Messy Middle' real-world test report reveals cost and performance inflection points
The 'Run on Less – Messy Middle' series of reports released by the North American Council for Freight Efficiency (NACFE) shows that pure electric trucks can handle regional distribution and some long-haul routes under real freight conditions. The participating Windrose electric trucks averaged 409 miles per day during the September 2025 demonstration and completed an 875-mile cross-state trip. Although current BEV purchase costs are about 2.5 times those of diesel trucks, NACFE expects them to fall to within 2 times by 2028 and possibly below traditional trucks by 2035. The report emphasizes that terrain and charging infrastructure are key constraints for long-haul applications, while manufacturers such as Tesla and Windrose are reducing costs through standardization.
Einride's cab-less truck hits the road in Ohio Ease Logistics pilot
Einride deploys its cab-less, SAE Level 4 autonomous electric truck in Marysville, Ohio, to transport goods for Ease Logistics between private property and public roads.
