The Nashville-based cleantech company also established a long-term partnership with Knight-Swift focused on fleet performance and technology validation.

Dave Williams, Senior Vice President of Equipment and Governmental Relations at Knight-Swift, said fleet efficiency represents a core priority for the company. He noted TRANSTEX's demonstrated ability to deliver solutions that perform in demanding operational conditions.



The transaction supports TRANSTEX's strategy to provide integrated fleet-efficiency solutions as transportation companies face pressure to reduce operating costs and meet emissions standards. The information comes from a company press release statement.
