And the price of the electric truck also still stands in the way of a profitable business model. Pauline Eeckhout: “But there are still subsidies involved that make it a little more bearable, but I think you can see 100,000 euros as an extra cost, to
end up doing the same job. And you cannot pass that on to the customer. Although customers are increasingly asked to account for their own emissions in the electric story.”
Next year, a new generation of electric trucks will come onto the market, with a range of up to 500 kilometers.
