Commercial goods transporters say they want to buy electric medium- to heavy-duty trucks, but they’re waiting on technology and production to catch-up to demand.
U.S. Rep. Don Beyer (D-VA) stressed how important the move to electrify medium- to heavy-duty trucks is for the future of the transportation industry.
“This is the greatest transformation of the transportation industry since the combustion engine,” Beyer said on June 15 during a Bipartisan Policy Center event on commercial goods transport. “If we don’t do it, we’re in great danger from a fossil fuel industry that is inherently uncertain… and would limit our ability to compete globally.”
