The company’s innovative approach uses on-site green electricity generation, which is both cost-effective for consumers and carbon negative, eliminating dependence on the local electric grid or solar fields.

Cyclum capitalises on government grants and tax credits, including Investment Tax Credits (ITCs) and Production Tax Credits (PTCs), to support the development of on-site EV charging infrastructure and clean electricity generation. These incentives also aid in generating hydrogen onsite at reduced costs.

Shaun Lee, director of field operations at Cyclum Renewables, describes their use of RNG-fuelled microturbines as revolutionary for EV charging in the trucking industry. This approach offers fleets a sustainable, reliable, and cost-effective solution for their charging needs, contributing to a cleaner transportation future.

Cyclum’s ‘Drive the Cyclum Dream’ program invites OEMs, fleets, drivers, and supply chain professionals to experience the future of renewable trucking. This exclusive event allows participants to test drive the latest class 8 EV, hydrogen, and CNG trucks, and enjoy VIP experiences at sports and race events.
