Unlike Carryfast, I’m no expert on alternative energies, so I will remain open minded.
One concern though, in Australia we are trialling electric trucks. To date success has been reported on our busiest freight corridor, Sydney Melbourne, with two battery powered, 70 tonne trucks running nightly, each changing batteries halfway.
This may be working brilliantly with two trucks, but there are 2,250 trucks plying this route every night. I seriously doubt the generation and power grid could cope with that.
