E-truck

Daimler Truck is a leading maker of electric trucks, and DFDS [an international shipping and logistics company] is one of logistics' biggest e-truck customers, yet widespread adoption is a long way off.

E-truck makers typically start with a standard chassis from the likes of Ford Motor Co. or General Motors Co. Although those automakers are rolling out their own e-trucks, their transition has been slow, in part because such rigs are often less profitable than diesel versions. That leaves plenty of room for the upstarts, who fit the chassis with electric motors, battery packs and software.
