Heavy- and medium-duty trucks are one of the hottest segments of the electric vehicle industry today. Both legacy manufacturers and start-ups are scrambling to develop battery-powered machines. Vehicles are slowly starting to roll off assembly lines, but this new class of truck is expected to dominate the market within the next 15 years.
Established U.S. brands, such as Freightliner, International, Kenworth, Mack and Volvo, have already developed electric trucks in a variety of sizes and segments. In Europe, DAF, Daimler, Iveco, MAN, Renault and Scania are even further ahead.
