I worked on designing transmission, axles for big diesel class 8 trucks for 20+ years working with inhouse diesel engines. I also worked on launching Battery electric Class 8 trucks and can say unequivocally the BEV is future. The number of moving components in BEV class 8 truck is lot lower than diesel trucks. 70% of class 8 trucks in US travel less than 250 miles a day and most of them cube out (dont carry max load). BEV can serve this segment easily. Battery technology is evolving fast and though cost is high for now things will start flipping around 2030.
Unfortunately too many truckers are against electric trucks because the charging infrastructure isn't there. But as more EV truck charging stations are built, electric trucks are the future because they have less moving parts and break down less.
@@ceroandone I'm saying expensive maintenance is a big problem for trucking companies. Electric trucks that break down less because they have less moving parts can address this issue.
@@ceroandoneno he is saying they should not buy disposable trucks in other words not buy internal combustion engine trucks...they should buy electric trucks
The more industries go electric, the more it leads to the unification of maintenance, services, manufacturing, and everything else. This unification makes it easier to implement AI across all industries. This approach is similar to the 19th-century adoption of standard sizes for bolts and nuts, which sparked the Industrial Revolution.
CAT no longer makes diesel engines for over-the-road trucks. Detroit Diesel was bought by Daimler Trucks, which owns Navistar and Thomas buses. Cummins bought Meritor EV truck power trains. Cummins is part of a joint venture with Daimler Truck and PACCAR to produce battery cells for commercial electric vehicles after their funding for Sion Power's 490Wh/.kg battery never materialized. Cummins Accelera manufactures roll-up battery chargers for major DC warehouses. Could you not charge while unloading the truck? Things will get interesting in 2027,
Late in the game but atleast moving forward good thing is they know trucks their needs are not easy got to be innovative in this very fast pace world of electronics just maybe joining forces with the right up coming start up and major trucking outfit could be game changer .

Great to see someone like you posting an educated comment thanks for your input.

Give me a break, you are saying companies should buy disposable trucks?

"Detroit Electric" was actually the name of an electric car built here in Detroit form 1907-1939.

Fuel cell never made sense and cab-over BEV is at disadvantage due to aerodynamic drag.

The ICE age is over.
👍
Not yet
Don't say that. My kids love those movies.
Lol
@@ceroandone There's definitely a major thawing going on though! And big cracks forming in the ICE! 🧊♨
Edison Electric
Good

no one stopping anyone from owing a diesel. seems drive a diesel truck and you wont go back.

If laughter was currency, I'd be a millionaire after this video. Does anyone know how to monetize laughter💋

You never read your comments, do you?
I'm pretty sure he does, but it's extremely easy to spot a 50yo ICE troll.
@erik.... Well said. You are very kind.
