Medium and heavy-duty trucks account for roughly a quarter of all transportation-related emissions in the U.S. They are the second largest emitter in the transportation sector, behind passenger vehicles. And while Maine has set concrete goals for introducing smaller electric vehicles into the marketplace, the road ahead is more uncertain for large commercial trucks.
Medium-duty battery electric trucks are ready to haul freight but not all applications will be easy to accommodate at scale. Multiple battery systems and multiple charging locations are possible.
A federal cash incentive slashing the cost of electric trucks may help drive sales, but challenges remain, trucking industry sources say.
As fuel prices reach historic levels, some fleets are missing the mark on tire pressure management and thus paying even more at the pump.
