ACT Expo Highlights: Hammer Down Talks Clean Trucking Technology with Leaders from OneH2, Schaeffler, and WEX

 

In a special episode of Hammer Down, host Mike Bush hit the show floor at ACT Expo, one of the logistics industry’s premier events for sustainable transportation. The conversations highlighted real-world innovations and clean trucking technology accelerating the shift to a lower-emissions future.

Prathamesh Dabholkar, Project Engineer at OneH2, discussed the company’s mobile hydrogen fueling units. These systems offer a flexible solution for fleets needing quick and space-efficient hydrogen access, without the need for permanent infrastructure.

Thomas Heck, Director of Key Account Management at Schaeffler of America, showcased the company’s electric drivetrain technologies, including a modular eAxle. Schaeffler’s solutions support both battery-electric and fuel-cell power, with additional hybrid components designed to reduce emissions from combustion engines, broadening the practical use of clean trucking technology across heavy-duty applications.

To address growing EV adoption, Steve Kingsley-Jones, Senior Product Manager at WEX, introduced a streamlined platform that helps fleets reimburse drivers for at-home EV charging. The system automates installation, usage tracking, and payments—all while maintaining driver privacy and utility integration.

From hydrogen to hybrid systems and smarter EV infrastructure, ACT Expo confirmed that clean logistics tech is not just emerging—it’s arriving, fast.
