The more industries go electric, the more it leads to the unification of maintenance, services, manufacturing, and everything else. This unification makes it easier to implement AI across all industries. This approach is similar to the 19th-century adoption of standard sizes for bolts and nuts, which sparked the Industrial Revolution.
I worked on designing transmission, axles for big diesel class 8 trucks for 20+ years working with inhouse diesel engines. I also worked on launching Battery electric Class 8 trucks and can say unequivocally the BEV is future. The number of moving components in BEV class 8 truck is lot lower than diesel trucks. 70% of class 8 trucks in US travel less than 250 miles a day and most of them cube out (dont carry max load). BEV can serve this segment easily. Battery technology is evolving fast and though cost is high for now things will start flipping around 2030.
Unfortunately too many truckers are against electric trucks because the charging infrastructure isn't there. But as more EV truck charging stations are built, electric trucks are the future because they have less moving parts and break down less.
Late in the game but atleast moving forward good thing is they know trucks their needs are not easy got to be innovative in this very fast pace world of electronics just maybe joining forces with the right up coming start up and major trucking outfit could be game changer .

Great to see someone like you posting an educated comment thanks for your input.

Give me a break, you are saying companies should buy disposable trucks?
"Detroit Electric" was actually the name of an electric car built here in Detroit form 1907-1939.
Everything old is new again.

Fuel cell never made sense and cab-over BEV is at disadvantage due to aerodynamic drag.

Good

The ICE age is over.
👍
Not yet
Don't say that. My kids love those movies.
Lol

no one stopping anyone from owing a diesel. seems drive a diesel truck and you wont go back.
You never read your comments, do you?
I'm pretty sure he does, but it's extremely easy to spot a 50yo ICE troll.
@erik.... Well said. You are very kind.
If laughter was currency, I'd be a millionaire after this video. Does anyone know how to monetize laughter💋
Mon copain dit que le rire est le meilleur aphrodisiaque. Nous avons maintenant une nouvelle tradition 🍭
Bye bye detroit!!!
