This week’s guest is Keith Brandis, Vice President of Partnerships and System Solutions at Volvo Trucks.  Keith is a 40-plus-year veteran of the trucking industry with a diverse background in truck manufacturing, engineering, sales, and marketing for the Volvo Group. He began his career with Volvo Trucks at its New River Valley manufacturing operations in Dublin, Virginia, where all of the brands’ Class 8 trucks for the North American market are assembled. Today, he works in the Project and Product Strategy Office as the vice president of system solutions and partnerships for North America and is actively involved in several projects driving technological and industry-transforming progress in transportation and sustainability. In our conversation, we discuss Vovlo’s three-pillar approach to decarbonization with an extended discussion of Battery Electric Vehicles. We also talk about the challenges involved in transitioning to a zero or near-zero emissions market.
