On Tue Feb 7Atlanta, GA. (February 7, 2023) – Trova Commercial Vehicles (TrovaCV), an engineering and manufacturing expert of commercial electric vehicles, and Chateau Energy Solutions, a national leader in electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure development, announce their partnership to drive the deployment of commercial electric vehicles and charging infrastructure for fleets across the nation. The alliance will provide diesel-to-electric (D2E) class 8 vehicle refits, new Class 8 battery-electric yard trucks, and reliable charging infrastructure to commercial fleets.
“Trova’s mission is to accelerate the market acceptance of battery electric commercial vehicles. We know that a complete end-to-end solution is necessary for fleets to transition to battery electric trucks,” explains Patrick Collignon, TrovaCV founder/CEO and former chief operating officer for Volvo Trucks North and South America. “With Chateau Energy Solutions we have a partner with many years of experience. Not only is the total cost of ownership impacted by the acquisition cost of the vehicle it also depends heavily on the level of investment needed for electric infrastructure.”
The two companies complement each other and simplify the fleet conversion process for fleet managers. “Ordering new battery-electric vehicles is exciting for fleets, yet they are quickly met by the realities of complex electrical infrastructure upgrades, disruptive construction, and frustrating permitting processes,” said Chateau Energy Solutions’ Todd Jarvis, COO. “Our customers draw on our team’s nearly 15 years of experience energizing EV charging infrastructure to streamline the design, development, and deployment.”
The team at TrovaCV focuses on providing OEMs with a way to build more electric vehicles at a lower cost. TrovaCV provides commercial vehicle manufacturers with customized engineering, design, and manufacturing expertise for fully electric commercial vehicles. The Company also developed its own new electric vehicle. Collignon brings TrovaCV more than 30 years of experience in the commercial vehicle industry and has held senior positions at General Motors and the Volvo Group.
