As the logistics industry accelerates toward a more sustainable future, one thing is clear: the road to fleet electrification starts in the yard. At Lazer Logistics, we’re not just talking about electric vehicle (EV) adoption – we’re living it every day across distribution yards nationwide. And this year’s ACT Expo is the perfect opportunity to showcase how we’re leading the charge.

Lazer Logistics has been at the forefront of deploying electric yard trucks in real-world, high-demand environments. From coast to coast, our fleet of EVs is proving that yard operations are the ideal launch point for meaningful, scalable electrification. With more than 25 years of experience in yard management, we understand that the controlled, closed-loop nature of the yard is the perfect environment to pilot, refine, and scale electric solutions.

Why the Yard Makes Sense

Why start electrification efforts in the yard? Simple: predictability and infrastructure. Yard trucks typically follow fixed routes and operate within a confined area, which means:

• Simplified charging logistics – Trucks return to a central location, allowing for cost-effective, centralized charging infrastructure.
• Maximized uptime – With routes that are easily forecasted, range anxiety becomes a non-issue.
• Lower emissions in high-traffic areas – EVs eliminate tailpipe emissions right where people work and live.

These factors make the yard a low-risk, high-reward proving ground for broader electrification efforts.

Lessons in Scale: Helping Shippers Electrify with Confidence

At Lazer, we’ve learned that successful electrification isn’t just about replacing diesel trucks with electric ones – it’s about integrating the right tech, optimizing workflows, and building charging infrastructure that grows with your operation. We work hand-in-hand with shippers to identify the right mix of technology, tailor solutions to unique yard layouts, and plan for long-term success.

Through our own experience, we’ve developed insights and best practices that help our partners accelerate their EV transition while avoiding common pitfalls. We’re not just deploying electric trucks – we’re setting the standard for scalable yard electrification.

See Us at ACT Expo

If you’re attending ACT Expo, come see us to learn more about how yard electrification can be the catalyst for enterprise-level sustainability and operational efficiency. We’ll be sharing real-world case studies, strategic insights, and a vision for how EVs can transform not just the yard – but the entire supply chain.

Let’s build the future of logistics, starting in the yard.
