In a bid to clean up the air in Los Angeles, startup Nevoya is electrifying the city's trucking industry with a zero-emissions technology and trucking platform. The company has raised $3 million in seed funding to accelerate its mission to replace diesel trucks with electric ones, leveraging artificial intelligence to optimize routes and charging.
Nevoya's founders, with backgrounds in private equity, autonomous vehicles, and predictive analytics, are poised to disrupt the status quo. The startup is already working with Fortune 500 companies in the LA area, offering a cost-competitive solution that appeals to businesses seeking to reduce their carbon footprint.
With its sights set on expansion, Nevoya is planning to build its own charging infrastructure and eventually move into smaller-class trucks. The company is also eyeing geographic expansion, with Texas next on its radar due to the state's favorable regulatory environment and cheaper electricity.
