The Problem
2020 CHALLENGE PROBLEM: KEEP ON TRUCKING: U.S. BIG RIGS TURNOVER FROM DIESEL TO ELECTRIC
The problem asked teams to create a model to predict what percentage of semi-trucks will be electric in the next few years and decades, determine the number and locations of charging stations along major U.S. trucking routes that are needed for an all-electric trucking industry, and to prioritize which routes should be developed with electric charging infrastructure first.
