About Estes Energy

Estes develops and manufactures exceptional zero-emission power systems that unlock true scale and performance for the electrification of the commercial vehicle and equipment markets. Estes will democratize electrification by enabling powertrain solutions at better cost and performance than diesel solutions, for both high-volume established OEMs making thousands of vehicles per year, and industry newcomers making next generation electrified vehicles and equipment.

Here’s the ugly truth. Approximately 3.9 million barrels of diesel fuel (equal to 5.8 Terawatt-hours of energy) are consumed every day across the United States, mostly by commercial vehicles and equipment. That’s 1.66 megatonnes of CO2 GHG emissions every day. That’s 353 kilotonnes of NOx and 9.92 kilotonnes of SOx gases emitted, poisoning our people and planet, every day.We exist to move the needle on transitioning a century old diesel burning industry to electric.

What are our principles to solve this problem? Simple.

1. Start with People

• A company can only be as good as its people.
• Generate a gravity well to attract the people of the best character and competence.
• Foster an incredible culture where the best people work together to solve deeply meaningful problems.

2. Drive solutions from first principles with a 3rd generation approach

3. Make things. Here.
