The last interview nailed it! I'm not a trucker at all and am excited about this company and would love to see the principles brought back to the regular automotive world.
I like that Chase is just some regular joe, work boot, flanel ball cap, and said it like it is. Trying really hard not to swear. Meanwhile, disturbing an entire industry in a few years of hard work.
It's amazing to see how far Edison motors has come from just thinking about the concept to proof of concept to production prototype I hope to see an Edison with a dump bed in America one day
Been checking every morning for the next Edison Motors video, this one did not disappoint! I love the mindset of vehicles that can be continually rebuilt and upgraded without building a whole new one after throwing away the last one. Can't wait to see testing and tuning videos along with the quarter mile runs. Rebuild, reuse and restore. Highway 101 Rod and Custom. Jim Ford
I’ll say it again: the prospect of being able to realistically retrofit existing trucks is a major thing. They’re ALL rolling on the same fifty or sixty major components, many from the same group of manufacturers across the brands. To be able to meet emissions standards without having to try and maintain these horrible systems would be great, and just think of all the deleted or non-functional (parked) trucks that have a fifteen to twenty year lifespan and are languishing at five or six years old with nothing more wrong than SCR and DPF systems that can’t complete even short trips without downtime. The governments will have to get on board, since their regulation has helped cause all of this in the first place.
If Edison could develop their own mid-ship (per Carl the truck) motor/generator that did all the things Edison likes, plus permit conventional mechanical drive... THAT would make a fantastic retrofit package and give Edison a competitive edge by their owning the drive design.
Congratulations. Wish i could have been there. Better yet I wish I could convince the corporate suits that this truck would work as a railroad maintenance of way truck. It would be perfect. It's heavy duty, and since it is hybrid it would cut down on idle hours and fuel costs.
Congratulations guys! Can see the pride in your faces and voices! Lots of sweat to get there, but well worth it! Glad to be along for the ride and journey! Cannot wait for the future! Continued success my friends!
I have a friend down here Texas that I had just turned on to you videos. He wanted to say that with it being a generator it is the perfect test bed for using hydrogen and using natural gas or propane as a main fuel because you still have range after fuel is accidently depleted due to inferstructre not being there to fill up. I don't know about all that but it seems to be another good way to get die hard environmentalists to look at the vehicles in a good light. I've converted a few pieces of equipment and a local driven teuck to mat gas. Fuel wise and cost wise for mpg or hrs per gallon were not great improvements if any were noted. But the maint dropped considerably. Oil change intervals, emissions....they have improved to a point that it is cost effective.
Slow or oil consuming ways to pre 1930 and we may be able to save this blue diamond. Edison Motors is an amazing idea and I’m 100% behind this. I worked in wind generation for years and have been driving truck for about 7 years. This is a well built machine. Less repairs, less parts replaced due to quality means less overall carbon footprint due to the emissions from replacement parts.
The guy near the end nailed it... volvo kenworth etc showed up in fancy clothes aaaand you guys in your work clothes ! I'm on the Alaska Hwy in Ft Nelson and wish i was qualified to become a service center cause you guys are the future! I'm a motor junky and yet I see the potential! Cheers Boyz! You guys are going places!
Canadian politicians are so different than their US counterparts. One of my ex-managers brothers is an MP and it's so interesting to hear him interact so much more one-on-one with people and take interest in so much more diverse topics then our House and Congressional members tend to do. You almost never see them chasing sound bites or patronizing everyone they meet.
Im not sure if youve explored this or not. But you guy should contact BC Hydro, see what they need for a truck spec. I feel that your trucks would work great in the powerline feild. Ether as bucket trucks or Rbd's.
Makes me happy to see the company doing so well. The big question is the future and will you sell out to big oil and let them control the future of the project. Hopefully you grow old and in control of the original concept and the adventures that you will all have. I unfortunately sold out a fantastic concept and idea to see it disappear…. Don’t have my regrets. I look forward to seeing these trucks in New Zealand one day.
I wish you guys the best of success! "The Maker in me, respects the Maker in you." Your practical approach to problem solving is wonderful. I teach product design and show your videos to my students. A suggestion: If you offered a nice, glossy poster of you and your team, in front of the trucks, I'd be happy to buy one for the classroom. Autographed would be a huge plus. and I'd be happy to pay for it. And seeing Munro, knowing he's going about to give you his 2c is fantastic!!! Prediction = he's going to love it.
The mini interviews and first impressions were very nice to see. I don't think the other OEM trucks were drumming up similar reactions! It's awesome to see other youtubers featured too. Sandy Munro and Alex from LMG on the Edison channel? not the crossover I was expecting!
Wish we had politicians in America like her that actually listen and use their head and weren't just trying to line their own pockets for their own selfish wants
Theres a couple spread around the US but politics isnt really a field you can succeed in unless you're on one the the two big teams and running the team plays. The ones like you describe arent given exposure for the work they are doing so it's hard to know even about them unless youre involved and in their area. Unfortunately I dont think thats gonna change without some without a major conflict. Plus the majority of the population is content with being on their pick of the two sides so theres not enough moment to change the situation in the first place.
Politicians like her in the US aren't the ones trying to line their pockets. These types of politicians are the ones being silenced by the two deafening parties.
Been watching you all for quite a while and had a big ‘ole grin watching this whole video. So awesome to see you where you’re at today - what an accomplishment, huge congratulations to you all!
Munro showing interest is BIG, I would defiantly have them help y'all have a once over on the truck. They will be a great resource as you work on scaling up.
If Edison Motors continues to evolve the hybrid concept you might look into alternative fuel diesel engines. CNG is far "greener" then present diesel fuels and its known quantity. It requires a large line off the main and a compression station, many of which are installed in North America. Plus high pressure fuel tanks on your truck. Some municipalities have optioned for this approach for their bus fleets and garbage trucks.
Your hood mascot, Topsy the heifer, I feel you should have done some thick lightning bolts for the legs with some 10mm down firing strobe LEDs running at 25% so that the highway bullies don't get upset at you then at shows crank then puppies up to 100% go time! Also keep the tusks as lightning bolts as well and put some 3 mm LEDs that fire strobes in there too. Just a thought I could render up a 3D file if you want one I also need 3D printing.
After thought, you could also print this in pink tpu (rubber) and it would be more robust and the LEDs would still shine through and it would look normal then once fired up be a big reveal. Or just do the regular gray elephant with the frosted bolts for legs and tusks. Thanks for your time.
11:00 we won’t know if it’s quality until it’s had a proper shake down and is used hard in the forestry Roads….. it’s a prototype after all, shit goes wrong, something might not be as rugged as expected. Hope it goes well tho
Hi from the UK 🇬🇧 Chase congratulations on the show and i fully agree with everything you said about the future of truck's, i don't think diesel engines will be fazed out of use in heavy truck's anytime soon and i think your idea with TOPSEY is a seriously great contender for the future of heavy truck's and you've got a great product built in no time compared to way bigger truck manufacturers. I can't wait to see how many orders you will get for TOPSEY when she's ready to go on the road and get to work. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉👌👍👍👍
Have been following your story for a while now, Your living the dream, have fun, it looks like a great future. You have some suites turning heads. lol.
This is the way forwards moveing away from pland obsolescence owning one truck for 30 years and refitting it is way better for the environment even if you are running a fully diesel truck we need to bring the same concepts to more things in are lives
8:00 - Pop out the diesel.... Replace it with a Natural Gas engine... Or engine that runs on E85... Or Hydrogen... Or Water.... "How do you get an electric Vehicle to have an unlimited range? Put an Onboard Generator in it and plug it in"
Proud of you guys and have worked in the Canadian auto industry for over 25 years but you need to test test test. If one of these breaks or cant really do logging its game over. All I've seen it do is tow a tank around a parking lot for minutes, that isn't even close to enough. Test, break stuff, test, break stuff - and then make stuff break (toyota puts their automatic cars into reverse at highway speeds, then fixes it so nothing breaks when the customer does it). It has to be bullet proof, dont let the customers be the guinea pigs.
I'm a heavy haul trucker and I'd soooo love to drive Carl and especially Topsy!!!!! plus down here in Southern Oregon I see so many cool late model logging trucks and fifth wheel trucks that would be awesome to convert over and use. the older trucks look so much more beefy I drive a 2023 Freightliner Cascadia hauling wood chips some hills i can only go 25 up but with Topsy. I am drooling keep it up and happy new year

Congrats. You guys were the star attraction at the Fully Charged Show.
I didn't make it as I was helping a friend retrieve his new to him 67 Grumman.
I was very pleasantly surprised to see Alex Clark there. It makes a lot of sense, I just wasn't expecting it so suddenly.
LTT jump scare
Right? From Sandy to Alex and my head was spinning from different ends of youtube 😂
Wasn't Eric super camera shy before? Haha now he's just crushing it with the interviews and does a very good job of explaining things!
I agree

Agreed! 12:13
I’m not from Canada but seeing the Canadian people get excited about this solution makes me even more excited
Seeing Canadians get excited about anything is exciting...
You do not get much better than Sandy Monroe coming up to you and saying a good job - that is one club to be with.
Who’s Sandy Monroe?

So cool that 60 years ago Carl was built just four blocks away in Vancouver BC.

Chase reminds me of Christian Von Koenigseigg and Mate Rimac, he knows his stuff from the ground up

It's very very rare that I genuinely smile watching a TH-cam video, this is one of them
Awesome to see Alex from LTT - that's a crossover I didn't know I needed till now
IN EDISON WE TRUST!🙏🏽🙏🏽👏🏽
Congratulations guys! Can see the pride in your faces and voices! Lots of sweat to get there, but well worth it! Glad to be along for the ride and journey! Cannot wait for the future! Continued success my friends!
This is awesome!
The entire team and everyone involved should be extremely proud of what y'all have done.
So happy for y'all. There's nothing like seeing your ideas and sketches come to fruition in a functioning prototype.
Well done to the whole team for making it to the show
Hats off to you guys. The proof is in the pudding.. can’t wait to see more from Edison Motors..

You guys are fantastic!
I am so thrilled with the way this worked out for ya'll! Keep setting standards! Love and best regards from Massachusetts, USA!
Reminds me of a white tractor cab. Big bud being independent, paystsr heavy duty and the simplicity of fully componentised.
Seeing Alex from LTT was a surprise! I knew he'd appreciate it.
...Welcome to the flannel shirt expo!
So nice to see the end product been a wild ride.
Im not sure if youve explored this or not. But you guy should contact BC Hydro, see what they need for a truck spec. I feel that your trucks would work great in the powerline feild. Ether as bucket trucks or Rbd's.
Thanks, EDISON, for making such a great community. Hopefully I can help along the way some day.
Man i wish i was there. Would 100% be Edison Motors fan boy for sure!

Did you all buy new hickory shirts for this event? In all seriousness the team you’ve created is something to behold!
History is being made!
I’d love to see a Topsy variant with a handful of drop axles, vacuum pump and a big shiny tank.
Cool nostalgia, with Carl.
I think every truck should get it's own name, even when production starts, every truck deserves it's personal unique name
i have never been so estatic to see a youtube video out
5:34 Alex!!! Please do a video with them!
I love how chance has work boots on and flannel with a timmies coffee in hand well talking to everyone in suits

we need an ltt review of the truck with alex
Great to see the poster is right it’s a Diesel Electric Truck.
Awesome job to the whole crew.
You guys are amazing and creative to find great partners
Getting a avionics electrician to stamp your idea is awesome. I knew a few! Smart guys.

Yea buddy! I told you, you nailed it.
Wish you could have come out and hung out with us after.
Thanks again for the interview.
