Very Heavy Duty Electric Truck
Last month, we reported that the Port of Los Angeles was using Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) trucks to reduce air pollution. Well, that's nothing. Have a look at this electric behemoth! It can pull a 16,000lbs 60,000lbs (27,215 kilos) cargo container at 40 miles per hour (65 kph), with an all-electric range of 60 miles (100 kilometers). According to Port officials, this electric truck has already surpassed all expectations. They have planned future budgets for more electric trucks, and are even looking into building an electric truck manufacturing plant in Los Angeles.
