Fully-electric long-haul trucking: coming soon to an (interstate) highway (somewhat) near you?
Graham Doorley, CEO of Solo AVT, discusses why he believes that fully electric, autonomous-enabled, long-haul trucking is coming sooner rather than later, and how Solo AVT’s ground up Class 8 truck, the SD1, plays into the future of electric, autonomous trucking. Graham breaks down how the company approaches regulation, why diesel big-rigs can't be easily retrofitted for electrification or autonomy, and what redesigned trucks mean for millions of truck drivers worldwide - as well as the environment.
