Requirements for more aggressive emission after-treatment and the hardware to achieve that add cost and complexity for fleet operators. The far higher volumes of carbon dioxide per mile from heavy trucks make them an obvious target for zero-emission powertrains. Charging infrastructure installs vary, a lot.
