Our take
In recent years, the need for cleaner and more sustainable transportation solutions has seen a rapid increase, and commercial transportation is no exception. Range Energy is a hardware company that aims to address this issue by introducing powered trailers to the trucking industry.
Range's powered trailers provide a seamless solution that connects effortlessly to any tow vehicle. This allows for a swift transition to electrification while catering to the immediate requirements and long-term goals of the company's commercial partners
Range was founded in 2021 by a team of electrification experts instrumental in achieving several "firsts" in the EV industry. In 2024, the company launched a second trailer system, the RB-01, and initial tests indicate that it saves 32-40 percent reduction in fuel costs. That same year, it enjoyed an investment of $23.5 million, which will help launch customer pilot programmes whilst accelerating the roadmap to full-scale production of its energy - and cost - saving trailer.
