What does "locally emissions-free" mean? Exactly what I think it does?
Build everything in third world, ahem, developing countries, and so consumers can live guilt-free?
- roomey 3y agoI thought it meant for local delivery services, as opposed to long haul.
- ChatGTP 3y agoI think it means while using it, smoke doesn’t come out of it. Maybe while charging some emissions happen ?
- barbazoo 3y agoDepends on how electricity is generated I'd assume.
- input_sh 3y agoI mean yes, but actually no. In this context it means that, on top of selling you trucks, they're also interested in upselling you by selling you chargers, charge management software, consulting you on power requirements, liaising with power companies... things of that nature, therefore helping you be emission free.
- numpad0 3y agoSounds like a tongue-in-cheek way of saying "EV generally has larger CO2 footprint but if you insist air in the city must be clean" to me as well.
- fragmede 3y agoGermany has a law about saying things are free. Like, you can't say pizza delivery is free because it isn't - it's wrapped up in the price of the pizza. In that way, electric vehicles aren't emissions free because they're charged by polluting power plants (most of the time).
- gigglesupstairs 3y agoHow do they ensure that prices do not include delivery cost?
- MarkusWandel 3y agoTo me that's just typical German straightfowardness. You can drive it in a downtown where pollution and noise are strictly regulated. That's not to say that emissions don't happen elsewhere - to build the truck and to charge it.
