We were honored to welcome US Senator @PattyMurray to our Proving Grounds in Centralia. Located at a former coal mine in reclamation, the site is key to demonstrating our decarbonization solutions for heavy industry while upskilling workers for the clean energy transition.

I visited @FirstModeHQ in Centralia to learn about their innovative work decarbonizing heavy industry by converting existing mining haul trucks into low carbon and zero-emissions vehicles.
This work is so important as we all work to transition to a clean energy economy.
