Doesn't matter who you vote for if you can show up to a work site with a Diesel-Electric hybrid that has enough torque to unsafely tow a loaded semi trailer and power everything needed for the day. Truck manufacturers will figure it out over the next decade.
- canadianfella 5y agoWhy diesel?
- ashtonkem 5y agoNext decade? Try next year. The F150 Lightning will absolutely dominate the fleet truck space if it comes anywhere close to delivering the promised specs.
- culopatin 5y agoAssuming they have where to charge it
- ashtonkem 5y agoIrrelevant for fleet trucks, which travel relatively short distances compared to commuter vehicles and always stay at the company yard overnight. A large charging network is really only relevant to regular consumers, and even that is more of a psychological reassurance than a strict requirement given measured consumer behavior.
- culopatin 5y agoI mean that the company would have to wire their yard to charge a fleet. One charging station at home is one thing, but 25 sounds like a much bigger project from an infrastructure standpoint
