Freight Electrification-as-a-Service for Transformation (FEaST)

Freight Electrification-as-a-Service for Transformation (FEaST)  provided workforce development and training to support the movement toward heavy-duty vehicle electrification.

FEaST provided training to 70 students in three sessions to prepare workers to support electric truck market transformation. FEaST also administered an online course for truck drivers to familiarize them with operating electric trucks. The FEaST project’s primary objective had been to secure partners to participate in the freight-electrification-as-a-service model, but this was not achieved under NY Clean Transportation Prizes. In December 2025 CALSTART and NYSERDA mutually agreed to conclude the FEaST project, but CALSTART and its project partners will continue to support vehicle electrification.
