USA - Peterbilt Motors Company of Denton, Texas expects to have no fewer than 30 pre-production medium and heavy-duty trucks in operation by the end of this year.
Announcing this at ACT Expo held in Long Beach, California last month, Scott Newhouse, chief engineer, said: “Peterbilt has invested in the integration of electric powertrains into a wide range of existing products and customer applications for development and testing. Today,” Newhouse continued, “we have 14 electric vehicles built, and we are on our way to more than 30 by the end of the year for real customer routes and analysis of performance so our production options meet the standards customers expect when buying a Peterbilt.”
