This initiative supports President Biden's goal of electrifying two-thirds of new passenger cars and a quarter of heavy trucks by 2032 as outlined in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. Rekor utilizes its Rekor One platform to analyze data and enhance transportation systems. Their data capture devices, Rekor Edge Max and Rekor Edge Flex, will play a crucial role in this data collection effort.
