The new multimillion dollar R Place Shell will feature a first of its kind service for environmentally and cost conscious truckers traveling through Wendover– ShorePower.
ShorePower Technologies is currently deploying Electrified Parking Spaces (EPS) across North America. ShorePower provides EPS for Truck Stop Electrification (TSE) as well as electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. ShorePower TSE allows truck drivers to turn off their engines and plug into all weather electrical and communication outlets during mandatory rest periods. This reduces fuel costs, toxic exhaust emissions, maintenance costs and provides a better night’s rest.
“It is a great system and it is a win-win for every one,” said R Place owner Bryan Reed. “For truckers it saves on fuel and for the community it cuts down on noise, pollution and improves the quality of life.”

The new improved R Place informally reopened this April and boasts not only ShorePower but a full service truck stop/travel center. The expansion was the single largest investment in either Wendover, Utah in well over a decade and brought in over 25 new jobs to the community.

As part of the ShorePower network Wendover’s R Place will also be featured on a variety of trucker oriented websites directing them to the truck stop.
