Industry Insight

Commercial cargo vehicle electrification

Peter Donaldson investigates the future of electrification in road transport logistics. Electrification of road cargo transport is moving on from pilot projects to large-scale deployments. Its long-term success depends on the maturity of powertrain technologies, the roll-out of infrastructure such as fast-charging networks, and on rethinking the entire vehicle and its place in the logistics system.

PS

There’s no such thing as a DC motor

Electromagnetically speaking, there’s no such thing as a DC motor. Bear with me. Many of us are used to making a sharp distinction among electric machines based on whether they need to be supplied with an alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC) to run.
