The I-10 corridor between San Bernardino and Phoenix crosses desert terrain that will test the range of the new electric semis.

Nevoya will operate the 25 electric trucks starting in 2027, with Meta funding the cleaner freight rather than shipping its own goods.

Electric semis on long-haul routes face charging and range hurdles, making corridor-focused deployments like this one a key test.

Rather than moving Meta cargo, the trucks will haul general freight under a carbon credit arrangement.

The San Bernardino-to-Phoenix run is among the busiest freight lanes in the Southwest, making it a high-impact target for emissions cuts.
