The partners’ “Dedicated EV Fleet Accelerator Program” aims to entice carriers to speed adoption of battery-electric trucks by subsidizing the cost of the hardware.

Houston-based Pinch is seeking to expand its flatbed less-than-truckload and truckload operations for oil and natural gas exploration and service companies with the deal.

The new units expand a long-running supplier relationship at a scale that signals how big fleets are renewing equipment to strengthen operations and keep experienced drivers in the seats.
