It is great to see that Mercedes is working at electrical trucks. Electrical cars are just the start, the real emission saving will be electrical trucks. Though one has to note that as stated in the article: 'a “conceivable” launch window of “the beginning of the next decade” for wide-scale production and real-world use.'
So it is an early prototype - it will be interesting to see which timeline Tesla has for their offering.
- Havoc 10y agoTempted to say this is a market that will be heavily stacked in Merc's favour. Taking a gamble on a sports car is one thing, but if you're replacing your 100 Merc diesel trucks...what are you likely to go for?
- _ph_ 10y agoI would probably take the Mercedes, if they offer the same performance and features. But thats a big "if". Currently for example, Mercedes offers no car that can compete with a Tesla S/X. So with the electrical trucks, one needs to compare first their specs.
