7.5 tonners, especially all electric ones for use in future Zero Emissions Zones, will become a big thing in a few years, typially for example operating out of RDCs on the outskirts of the M25, where artics drop off the trunks, for onwards electric distribrution into the City. But, even if they allow car drivers to drive 7.5t, they still have to do their CPC and get a digi card to drive for hire and reward.
That said, it is designed with what will be an incrase in small distribrutions electric trucks, which there will need to be alot of and will need considerbly more drivers for than what we have now with Artics making the deliveries.
