Electric Truck Technology Gaining Momentum Despite Hurdles

Despite big promises over the last few years, we still appear to be far off achieving electrified freight transport, capable of carrying heavy loads over long distances using battery power alone. Although lithium-ion batteries are becoming more powerful thanks to greater investment in research and development in recent years, they are still not capable of powering huge trucks to carry cargo across countries. However, while just a few companies were previously aiming to develop the technology, now a broad range of EV firms think they will producing freight transport options within the next decade, and several big companies, such as…
