Nevoya and Meta have signed a multi-year agreement supporting the deployment of 25 battery-electric heavy-duty trucks along the Interstate 10 corridor between California and Arizona, extending their cooperation on lower-emission freight transportation.

Under the agreement, Meta will purchase environmental attribute certificates (EACs) associated with Nevoya’s electric trucking services. The arrangement is intended to support the introduction of Class 8 battery-electric trucks and associated charging infrastructure between San Bernardino, California, and Phoenix, Arizona.

Nevoya expects the vehicles to begin operations in 2027 and collectively travel approximately four million freight miles annually. The agreement also includes charging infrastructure, with the trucks’ electricity consumption to be matched through renewable energy certificates.

Unlike a conventional freight transport contract, Meta’s purchase does not involve the physical movement of its own cargo. Instead, the company will acquire certificates representing environmental attributes associated with electric freight operations, as part of its efforts to address emissions across its wider value chain.

## Expansion into a major US freight corridor

The I-10 corridor is a major east-west freight route linking Southern California with Arizona, Texas and other markets across the southern United States. It also provides connections to the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, making it relevant to the movement of imported goods and inland distribution.

Nevoya plans to make the charging infrastructure associated with the new deployment accessible to other freight operators using the corridor. Meta separately described the planned charging facilities as permanent and open access, although specific locations and commissioning dates have not been disclosed.

The new agreement follows an earlier collaboration in Texas, where Meta participated in a buyers’ alliance organised through the Center for Green Market Activation. That initiative supports Nevoya’s planned deployment of 63 electric trucks along the Houston–Dallas corridor, with environmental attribute certificates purchased collectively by participating companies.

The California–Arizona project differs in structure, representing a standalone agreement between Nevoya and Meta rather than a collective purchasing arrangement.

John Verdon, Co-Founder and Chief Commercial Officer of Nevoya, said the second agreement demonstrates how longer-term commercial commitments can support the expansion of electric freight services into additional transport corridors.

Devon Lake, Head of Net Zero Strategy at Meta, said freight transportation forms part of the emissions footprint associated with developing and operating the company’s data centres. The agreement is intended to support lower-emission logistics options along routes serving regions where Meta is developing infrastructure.

Class 8 battery-electric trucks produce no tailpipe emissions and can reduce local exhaust pollutants and vehicle noise compared with conventional diesel trucks. Their wider environmental impact nevertheless depends on factors including electricity generation, vehicle utilisation and charging operations.

The financial value of the agreement has not been disclosed, and the companies have not specified the truck manufacturer or detailed implementation schedule. The announced 25-truck fleet and annual mileage therefore remain planned deployment targets rather than completed operating results.

The partnership adds another planned electric freight operation to a major US logistics corridor, using certificate-backed commercial demand to support investment in vehicles and charging infrastructure.
