# Nevoya

> Nevoya is a San Francisco- and Los Angeles-based, fully electric freight carrier that pairs a fleet of zero-emissions trucks with a purpose-built, AI-orchestrated Transportation Management System. Rather than retrofitting legacy diesel software, Nevoya builds route optimization, load balancing, dynamic battery management, and charging schedules from the ground up for electric operations - and says the result already matches or beats diesel on cost and reliability in California. In its first six months it onboarded Fortune 500 shippers and leading 3PLs, and in July 2025 it raised a $9.3M seed round led by Lowercarbon Capital to expand across California and into Texas.
