âï¸ About Smart Freight Centre:
Think about the package that just arrived at your doorstep; the products on store shelves, or the goods being shipped across oceans. Logistics is everywhere, powering the world we live in. And because itâs everywhere, itâs also one of the biggest contributors to carbon emissions globally.

Reporting to the Director of Road Freight Electrification, you will collaborate within the Fleet Electrification Coalition (FEC), engaging shippers, logistics service providers, carriers, investors, truck manufacturers, and policymakers to achieve net-zero trucking emissions by 2050.
