⚡️ Freight trucking industry is beginning the journey to electric vehicle adaption.
It's likely that electric trucks will be introduced in urban areas and cities first, where there is a higher demand for sustainable and efficient transportation options. This is because the shorter range requirements and heavier payloads of delivery trucks make them well-suited to urban use cases. Additionally, the presence of charging infrastructure in cities can help support the deployment of electric trucks. Some cities and states, such as California and New York, have already taken steps to encourage the adoption of electric trucks through incentives and funding for charging infrastructure. So, it's possible that these areas could be among the first to see widespread deployment of electric trucks.
House lawmakers have passed the Mail Traffic Deaths Reporting Act of 2024, directing the U.S. Postal Service to create new rules for tracking crashes involving its trucking contractors.
