Really Big Electric Trucks
There will be two subjects in this paper. Both of them are flavors of the title, but one I’ve written about before, and the other, not so much. The first is definitely a clean-sheet design, and the latter looks (and mostly is) derivative of earlier generations. Both need to ramp production very quickly to help my home state (California) make the transition to non-diesel big rigs.
Starting in 2036, no new fossil-fueled medium-duty and heavy-duty trucks will be sold in the state. Large trucking companies also must convert to electric or hydrogen models by 2042. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) decided to review progress and obstacles in meeting the deadlines two and a half years from now.
