The Unanswered Questions About Electric Trucks

12 minutes

There's a lot more to adopting electric trucks than batteries and range, as HDT's Deborah Lockridge explores in this conversation with Hendrickson's Jeff Sass on this episode of HDT's Leadership Insights, produced in partnership with, and sponsored by, Hendrickson.

Jeff Sass, vice president of marketing for Hendrickson, has spent decades in the truck business, and he’s been talking frankly about how technology is changing the industry for years. Three years ago at HDT's Heavy Duty Trucking Exchange event, he promised that "electric trucks are coming." And indeed, they are here. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t still a lot of questions and a lot of hurdles to overcome, from weight to cradle-to-grave issues.
