Biden’s infrastructure bill & EV logistics – with ACERTUS

Biden’s infrastructure bill & EV logistics – with ACERTUS

The folks at ACERTUS know a thing or two about EVs. Through a combination of technology, expertise and infrastructure, ACERTUS is a comprehensive automotive logistics company with the ability to move, store, recondition, title and deliver vehicles anywhere in North America.

That’s why Trent Broberg, CEO of ACERTUS, is the perfect person to pepper with questions regarding just about any EV topic you can think of (and trust me, we can think of plenty). So, we invited him onto the show and ran him through a gauntlet of EV curiosities. We ask questions like:

  • What are some changes from the infrastructure bill that you are welcoming from a logistics standpoint, and where do you believe the bill falls short?
  • Are there any unexpected but common compliance issues you’ve seen fleets run into after adopting electric trucks?
  • What are some of the challenges for transporting EVs?
  • And more.

Watch above to hear Trent’s answers to these questions and more.

AMN MEMA

As MEMA commemorates its 120th anniversary, it’s an opportunity to reflect on the organization’s profound impact on the automotive aftermarket. Founded on March 2, 1904, MEMA has evolved from a modest gathering of parts manufacturers in Cleveland to a pivotal force in the global automotive landscape.

Over the decades, MEMA has been at the forefront of several key initiatives, including: the introduction of credit reporting services in 1914 to ensure financial stability within the industry; the co-sponsorship of the inaugural automotive service industry show in 1933, paving the way for what would become the AAPEX events; the establishment of divisions and market segments within MEMA to cater to the diverse needs of its members, from heavy-duty manufacturers to the aftermarket suppliers; and the advocacy for critical legislative measures, including the National Vehicle Safety Act of 1966, the USMCA in 2019 and today’s battle for the Right to Repair.
