Electric Truck
With decarbonisation targets approaching for HGVs, battery technology is fast becoming the defining factor, with advances in energy density, charging speeds and pack design improving range. Stephen Gifford and John-Joseph Marie from the Faraday Institution explore the progress to date and what still needs to happen
Electric Freightway Baldock charging site opening
Using electric HGVs is a big operational shift that requires confidence both in the vehicles and in the charging infrastructure. Sam Clarke, head of eHGV at GRIDSERVE, explores how the Electric Freightway project is tackling these challenges to make zero-emission haulage a reality
