Greenlane Infrastructure is making its next big move following the opening of its flagship Colton, California charging hub last April.
The California-based joint venture, established by Daimler Trucks North America, NextEra Energy Resources, and BlackRock, has confirmed plans to establish its second commercial vehicle battery-electric charging corridor that'll connect Southern California to Phoenix, Arizona via Interstate 10.
Greenlane also revealed this corridor expansion is being supported by a new strategic partnership with Windrose Technology, manufacturer of the battery-electric Class 8 R700 semi.

The partnership calls for Windrose to use Greenline's Colton hub as its operations base to power its semis for pilot customers running routes along the I-15 and I-10 corridors. This includes Greenlane's first fleet customer, Nevoya, which developed the country's first zero-emissions electric trucking carrier and technology-driven logistics platform.
"Greenlane's I-10 charging network creates the infrastructure breakthrough that electric trucking needs—and Nevoya is positioned to capitalize on it," said John Verdon, chief commercial officer at Nevoya. "As we launch operations on the I-10, this partnership allows us to demonstrate that long-haul electric trucking is not just possible—it’s practical, scalable, and the future of freight."
Nevoya confirmed plans to run BEV semis along both corridors.
"Our second corridor was strategically selected to best support the carriers and shippers who keep our economy moving," said Patrick Macdonald-King, CEO of Greenlane. "Windrose's remarkable achievements during testing demonstrate that our high-performance charging network can handle the most demanding freight operations, giving us confidence that this I-10 corridor will serve as a critical backbone for zero-emission freight. By establishing charging infrastructure along key transportation arteries, we're providing the foundation fleets need to scale their electric operations."
Greenlane and Nevoya previously confirmed plans to scale their partnership to include up to 100 Nevoya-provided electric trucks. No further details were provided at this time.
