About this project

The description is as the source gives it.

ArcBest's ABF Freight conducted a three-week pilot of a Tesla Class 8 long-range electric semi-truck in 2025 on routes including Reno NV to Sacramento CA and regional Bay Area operations, logging 4,494 miles at 1.55 kWh/mile efficiency. Following success, the company purchased two additional Tesla Semis in 2026 for linehaul operations primarily in California with extension to Reno NV to evaluate real-world performance and reduce emissions in over-the-road operations. Evidence: "ArcBest® (Nasdaq: ARCB), an integrated logistics company, today announced the purchase of two Class 8 Tesla Semi trucks by its less-than-truckload carrier ABF Freight®, building on insights gained from a successful pilot completed in 2025." — https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260611775171/en/ArcBest-Adds-Tesla-Semis-to-ABF-Freight-Fleet
