Electric truck for a smaller rigid doing town/city centre multi drops within a 30 mile radius from the depot might not be far away.To put it on a 44 tonner going up and down the country all week. I think they are a LONG way off making that happen.
This is true for the short term, but things change, I’m sure many train drivers in the 1920’s thought that trucks would only supply short distance transport from railhead to customer.
I personally think battery operated vehicles are only a short term thing, I’m pretty sure the transport of system in 50 to 100 years will be very different from what we know and from what many predict it will be.
