America’s Transportation Sector Is Embracing Sustainability

Our planet is facing a major threat, and that is ‘Climate Change’.
Rising greenhouse gas emissions from the burning of fossil fuels pose a serious
threat to environmental sustainability, the planet's rich biodiversity, and human
life and livelihood. Governments, businesses and communities must work
together to lead the way to decarbonization through innovative technology
solutions.
In the United States, many important sectors have played a key role to support
sustainability over the years. However, the role of the transportation sector is
particularly significant, with 27 percent of greenhouse gas emissions1 coming
from mobility sources,
Answering the clarion call for America's net-zero transition, the transportation
industry is well-positioned to lead the world to a carbon-neutral future. The
solution lies in developing large-scale electrification of public and commercial
transportation to reduce the industry’s carbon footprint and power
sustainability.

Penske + Hitachi Are Pioneering Advances
Strategic collaboration between leading
organizations can help drive a massive
transformation and address social and
environmental issues.
In the wake of climate change, Hitachi
believes that partnerships are critical to
taking the sustainability challenge seriously,
working together to reduce environmental
footprints and improve operational and
financial performance.
Penske and Hitachi have already made
breakthrough advances such as predictive
fleet maintenance and repair using data,
machine learning and artificial intelligence
technologies.
These collaborations have set the stage for
further progress toward sustainability and
address the electrification of commercial
and public transportation.

Penske has partnered with Hitachi to leverage Hitachi
Energy’s innovative grid-to-plug charging system, the
Grid-eMotion Fleet™ solution, to build a prototype
network of charging stations in Southern California as
part of an initial effort to transition to a fully
electrified fleet and forever change the future of EV
charging infrastructure.
With Grid eMotion Fleet™, Penske aims to scale this
charging infrastructure across all its organizational
ecosystem to reduce its environmental footprint.

Grid eMotion Fleet™ - Strengthening Sustainability Credentials
Hitachi Energy’s innovative grid-to-plug
charging system, Grid-eMotion Fleet™, uses
direct current (DC) technology and can
connect to any type of power network —
removing the complexities of integrating
AC/DC chargers into a system.
It also requires up to 60 percent less2 space
than other large-scale EV fleet charging.
Hitachi's Grid-eMotion Fleet™ :
 Brings electric vehicles out of the niche
into the mainstream
 Facilitates distributed charging
 Leverages direct current system technology
 Connect all charging points to the grid
seamlessly
 Is designed to fit into space-constrained
parking areas & bus terminals

Keeping the Lights On For Green Transportation — The Way Forward
Implementation of sustainable transportation requires
optimization of the entire value chain, from building smarter
grid infrastructure to enabling predictive fleet maintenance
or even the optimization of vehicle routes using advanced
digital technologies.
