About Jaro Fleet Technologies

Jaro Fleet Technologies is a well-funded (GGV, Lerer-Hippeau, Maersk) early-stage startup led by EV expert Joe Miler (ex-Apple Special Projects, Lucid, MIT, Stanford). Jaro is in stealth, commercializing an industry-first business model to beat diesel semi-trucking on a cost-per-mile basis. The model leverages renewable energy assets and commodity EV technologies in a novel configuration to unlock enormous cost savings and scalability. Today, commercial solar is 10x cheaper than diesel on a $/mile basis—yet diesel still dominates. Jaro aims to change that.

Equal Employment Opportunity

We are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees and investing in team diversity as a long-term strategic business asset. This is a continuous, ongoing process and we are always learning. Jaro is proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
