Electric trucking refers to the use of electric vehicles (EVs) specifically designed for freight transport. This involves trucks powered by electric batteries rather than traditional diesel or gasoline engines. Electric trucks are part of the broader movement towards sustainable transportation and aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, lower fuel costs, and decrease noise pollution in urban areas. Advancements in battery technology and charging infrastructure are critical to the development and adoption of electric trucking. These trucks can vary in size and capacity, from light-duty delivery vehicles to heavy-duty long-haul trucks, and they are increasingly being integrated into logistics and shipping industries as a cleaner alternative to conventional trucks.
