Hello and welcome to the ninth episode of the Guidehouse Insights Plugged In Podcast! On this podcast we do a deep dive on emerging topics from electric vehicle batteries to behind the meter batteries to basically any other kind of battery.
This month we spoke with Oliver Dixon, a Senior Research Analyst on the Guidehouse Insights team about his report, "Trailer Electrification." Oliver is our point person on the transportation and mobility team about large vehicles. His research focuses on heavy duty on-and-off highway vehicles and fleet decarbonization. Before joining Guidehouse Insights, Oliver worked as an analyst covering the global commercial vehicle market working alongside a range of clients including investors, regulators, and OEMS. Oliver has a BSc in Applied Psychology from Aston Business School and an MBA from Warwick Business School.
In this episode we talk heavy vehicles, specifically tractor trailers. We discuss what is driving electrification for the heavy market and how it differs from the light vehicle market. Then we get a deep dive into the electrification of trailers, the economics of freight, and Oliver’s past as a truck driver. It might also be our funniest episode, as Oliver knows how to turn a phrase!
Thank you to Guidehouse for providing us this platform of discussion. To keep up to date on larger Guidehouse Insights work, follow our industry insights blog on the website: www.guidehouseinsights.com
