Seems 44 companies including Maersk, Unilever & DFDS have written a letter calling for Zero emission trucks by 2035, Allowing a five year exemption for vocational trucks.transportenvironment.org/di … cks-in-eu/
What will happen in 2035 when you roll up at the gatehouse with a fossil fuel truck? Nah mate **** off with that thing you ain’t coming on site with it.
The Tesla Semi at 1.7kWh/mile will cost a bob or two to fully charge that huge heavy traction pack, Volvo Scania electric trucks manage between 2.2-2.8kWh/mile, Renault electric HGV’s 2kWh/mile
They’ll be able to save money on fitting night heaters in the cabs as the traction pack under the bunk will be fizzing & sizzling all night whilst it’s plugged into a 1 Megawatt charger.Wonder how many of these virtue signalling outfits operate their own artics.
As ETS, once a few of these wonder wagons have burst into instant flame and incinerated anyone within 20 yards who couldn’t get away in time then burned for a week, who are they going to get to drive them, i know one old bugger who won’t be doing it
They are probably big enough to pay raise the finance for a fleet replacement program and kill off the competition who are not.
