Autonomous Trucks
Battery-electric trucks have an energy cost advantage over hydrogen trucksBig trucks require big batteries. Much bigger than those of the passenger carskWhBEVEVElectric trucks fast-charging highways are already comingkWFuel cell trucks will remain a niche applicationYes, it is. Of course, the road to an electric road freight sector is bumpy. FYI: the demand for battery-electric and plug-in hybrid cars was more than 280 GWh, which is almost ten times more than non-automotive.Still, the fastest demand growth for batteries is expected from electric trucks. Besides, there are many other challenges to road use, ranging from safely storing to the high costs of refueling.The best-case scenario for hydrogen trucks is they will be at most complimentary to the electric trucks fleet .
