Yes they do. It’s called an electric motor. But that requires revitalizing infrastructure in order to accommodate fast charging across an urban landscape so utility trucks can top up whenever needed. And, of course, a company like Cummins being willing to make them.
It’s called walking, better than any car. Having cars in major cities is so stupid. And before you say contractors need to have trucks, sure the do. But, I’m tired of companies sending out service vehicles to make almost 200 mile round trips, just so the competitor doesn’t get the job.
I’d love for cities to go full on mass transit. Even bringing in light freight to business areas so restaurants and the like could just use a handcart. But there’s a lot of people and businesses in the US that will never cover.
Although these trucks are regularly bought just for vanity, they’re also the go-to trucks for cross country hauling. And regardless of infrastructure, current electric tech doesn’t do so hot there.
Although, part of their draw compared to others in their class was that they had the “best engines”…

But we can’t get off that oil teat.

This is about utility vehicles, which are needed in cities even with robust transportation systems. Cargo still needs to be hauled the last mile.
Okay and everywhere else?
