Electric Trucks: A Thing of the Future?

Commercial trucks are often derided for the negative impact that they can have on the environment. Between the emissions that the massive truck engines generate and the chemicals associated with the use of refrigerants, they are sometimes perceived to be something of a menace. However, through the use of biodiesel, increased efficiency standards, and other measures, the industry is gradually changing in order to adopt more green practices. A recently unveiled model built by Navistar International Corp., however, has the potential to change the situation even more dramatically for short-range and local hauls.

With new regulations looming, it is important that you are financially prepared to invest in new vehicles or to overhaul the trucks that are currently in your fleet. When clients are reluctant to submit payment for the deliveries that you have already completed according to the terms of your agreement, it is difficult to stay ahead of the curve. We can help.

Zero Tailpipe Emissions Now Possible

The electric truck built by Navistar, though not yet available to the buying public, is a promising sign of things to come for the image and the effect of the commercial trucking industry. It produces zero tailpipe emissions and is capable of driving up to 100 miles without a charge. As this and similar trucks become progressively more affordable and available, these are a few of the possible benefits:

• Reduction of gas-related expenses
• The ability to dedicate a vehicle to local deliveries
• The possibility of significant tax credits or rebates
• Improved public perception
