Electrification of fleets is getting closer to reality, and truck manufacturers are already preparing for a transition away from diesel.
On this episode of Transmission, Sebastian Blanco looks at what the first steps in electric transformation are for truck manufacturer Daimler.
Blanco welcomes Rakesh Aneja, head of eMobility for Daimler Trucks North America. Aneja discusses a number of recent advances in the electric delivery truck world, from the order books being opened for the eCascadia and eM2 trucks to a new heavy-duty vehicle charging station opening up in Portland, Oregon.
