Terberg introduces new generation of electric terminal tractor; hydrogen fuel-cell version possible

Green Car Congress

The new electric drive system has fewer moving parts than a diesel engine and the previous EV generation, resulting in lower maintenance costs. The vehicles use DC chargers and can therefore be charged at standard charging stations. The design also allows for the use of hydrogen fuel cells in future.
