Google Buys Certificates For 25 Electric Trucks It Will Never Drive

Google Buys Certificates For 25 Electric Trucks It Will Never Drive

Nevoya operates the Houston-to-Dallas Class 8 fleet; Google pays for environmental attribute certificates covering 92,000 tons of avoided CO2e.

  • 25 trucks join a 63-truck fleet operated by Nevoya with the Center for Green Market Activation.
  • The route covers roughly 11 million miles a year hauling freight between Houston and Dallas.
  • Jenna Stauffer, Google's climate operations strategy lead, confirmed the company pools EAC purchases with other buyers.

Why it matters: Google owns no trucks and drives no route; it buys the paper certifying someone else's diesel avoided.
