What Energy Comes Next for Your HGV? Electric, Diesel or Hydrogen?

What energy comes next for your HGV? As the industry looks towards net zero, are electric trucks the answer, or will diesel, hydrogen and biomethane continue to play a part? At the IAA Transportation truck show in Hannover, Alex Wolfe speaks to more than 11 manufacturers to find out what’s happening in the HGV market. We hear from Dr Till Conrad, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Toyota Motor Europe, about the different powertrain options available for commercial vehicles. Alex also speaks exclusively to Domenico Gostoli, BYD’s Head of Trucks and Buses for Europe, about the company’s new electric HGV range and its target of 600 km real-world range. The episode looks at why electric HGVs are taking time to gain traction, with charging infrastructure, payload and cost all playing a part in fleet operators’ decisions.
