UPS collaborating with Workhorse to deploy 50 electric trucks; rivaling acquisition cost of conventional; no subsidies

Green Car Congress

Each truck will have a range of approximately 100 miles between charges, ideal for delivery routes in and around cities. Electric vehicle technology is rapidly improving with battery, charging and smart grid advances that allow us to specify our delivery vehicles to eliminate emissions, noise and dependence on diesel and gasoline.

NREL study finds most depot charging could accomodate short-haul heavy-duty electric trucks without upgrades

Green Car Congress

In most cases the existing technology grid can accommodate truck charging at depots. That perception is shifting, and our research suggests that certain short-haul operations can be electrified today with relatively low-power depot charging that won’t overwhelm the grid. Their paper appears in the journal Nature Energy. Borlaug, B.,

ZeroAvia unveils hydrogen fuel cell powertrain for aviation

Green Car Congress

ZeroAvia plans to start supplying its platform to commercial operators and aircraft manufacturers in 2022, initially targeting up to 500-mile regional flights in 10 to 20-seat fixed-wing aircraft. It will also be more economical than conventional turbine engines, or even the battery-based systems, on the total cost basis.
