Project Map

NFI and Schneider are operating regional haul and drayage routes, moving 40-foot trailers of goods across Southern California. Some of the routes serve the Ports of Los Angeles (POLA) and Long Beach (POLB), while other routes move goods between logistics and warehouse facilities. Most of the daily routes are under 150 miles round-trip, allowing for return-to-base charging once or twice per day at either the Schneider facility (El Monte, California) or the NFI facility (Ontario, California).

The neighborhoods adjacent to major roadways and freeways used by the fleets experience disproportionate impacts from emissions from trucks and goods movement activities, and are designated as “disadvantaged communities,” as defined by state guidelines such as AB 617 and SB 535 to support targeted air quality intervention. Therefore, JETSI is directly helping these disadvantaged communities by eliminating tailpipe emissions for BET trips.

The map above showcases the daily routes BETs will travel for Schneider and NFI.

NFI Route

NFI Ontario Facility

NFI chose Ontario, CA as the home of its BET fleet because of its proximity to most of its drayage customers. The four-acre parcel of land was purchased across from NFI’s Ontario warehouse campus – a prime location for operations across the Inland Empire and Southern California. 

BETs Deployed 

  • 30 Freightliner eCascadia Class 8 trucks  
  • 20 Volvo VNR Electric Class 8 trucks 

Charging Infrastructure 

  • 19 dual-port 350 kW chargers, with 38 charging ports

SCHNEIDER Route

Schneider South El Monte Facility

Schneider’s South El Monte location is centrally located within the metro Los Angeles area. The eight-acre site is adjacent to major highways and has a high density of shippers within a 50-mile radius making it the ideal location for electric truck usage. 

BETs Deployed 

  • 50 Freightliner eCascadia Class 8 trucks 

Charging Infrastructure 

  • 16 dual-port 350 kW chargers, with 32 charging ports 
  • Solar and battery storage are not part of this site
