more of a van, it can carry 16 cubic tons. it was the first electric truck test driven on a public road without a driver back in may 2019. in the past year, it's mostly been piloted on private industry sites with global brands like coca—cola, lidl and db schenker. and one firm, skf, is now bringing the pod into its long—term operations. most sites are no bigger than a few square kilometres, but the vehicles can cover 130 to 180 kays shifting goods around before they stop and recharge. it's also heading to the us this year, where it plans to make use of more relaxed regulation, as well as the larger batteries needed to power longer haul trips. just because it can drive autonomously doesn't mean it always will. by anyone, anywhere in the world. i can hear it moving behind us.
