Four key findings have been identified by the E-Truck Task Force as barriers currently affecting the growth and viability of E-Truck sales; 1) high incremental cost, 2) poor vehicle quality and support from supplier(s), 3) unexpected costs and energy planning with infrastructure, and 4) reduced operation in extreme climates. The E-Truck Task Force developed a set of action-oriented recommendations for overcoming each barrier. 1. E-Truck Task Force Background 1.1 Key Findings from 2012 E-TTF Report CALSTART’s E-Truck Task Force (E-TTF) was originally created in 2011 to help understand, support and expand the production and successful deployment and use of plug-in electric trucks and buses. CALSTART published E-Truck Task Force Findings and Recommendations in 2012 based on a year-long research and industry engagement process. In that report CALSTART outlined the best use profiles for successful E-Truck deployment, provided a business case calculator for fleets, highlighted early adopter user experience, developed an infrastructure planning guide, and then established industry recommendations of actions required to speed market success.

This report, submitted in accordance with Section 15(1) of the Michigan Gaming Control and Revenue Act, as amended, Public Act 69 of 1997 (“the Act”), provides an overview of the major events and activities that have taken place during the past year. At the close of the year, the founding executive director, Nelson Westrin, resigned his position. Mr. Westrin served the Board since its inception in 1997, and was instrumental in creating an agency that is nationally recognized for its integrity and innovation. The Board’s new executive director, Dan Gustafson, brings a wealth of experience and ability to the position. His previous service as a state legislator and Chairman of the Liquor Control Commission has well prepared him to lead the Michigan Gaming Control Board. The Board successfully moved its Detroit presence from the Albert Kahn Building to the newly renovated Cadillac Place.
