electric trucks
Nov 12^th, 2015 at 7:54pm

Last year, Daimler launched a project to see how eight Fuso Canter E-Cells performed in daily urban service in Portugal. After over 32,000 miles on the road, the newly released results showed astounding figures. Compared to their diesel-counterparts, the commercial EVs slashed operating costs by 64 percent. The trucks were also great for the environment with a 37-percent drop in CO2 emissions after taking into account how the country makes power.

Daimler gave the trucks to Portuguese cities and businesses, and the users definitely didn't baby them. In Lisbon, the EV disposed of vegetation, and the Canter E-Cell collected recyclables in Porto. The one with the parcel service Transporta covered over 8,700 miles to make deliveries during the year. On average, the testers used the vehicles about 31 miles a day, but 68 miles was the record distance during the trial. "The results of the practical tests have shown that we are on the right track," Marc Llistosella, President and CEO of Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation said in Daimler's announcement.

They would be ideal in that situation.

Hook up one trailer full of batteries. . .obviously, battery technology not that advanced yet Cheesy

But when/if fusion is feasible a glass of water will power the truck for years, that old e = MC

The trucks had a drop in CO2 emissions, or they didn't. They can't claim credit for what the power company does.

27 million euros spent to do what a diesel truck can do on 15 litres of fuel worth 20 bucks. Off to the sheltered workshop for you sonny.

Currently the fossil fuel sectors around the world receive about 480 Billion dollars, almost half a trillion dollars every year, of tax payer funded rebates and subsidies.

Why does this industry require welfare to survive Rider? Why isnt this industry rectifying the damage that it does?

Render your written apology and then implement a self ban for 48 hours you deranged putrid foul stenching rodent vomit patch...
