Just to put things into prospective there is NO belching exhaust smoke from modern Volvo or Scania trucks with electronic fuel injection systems fitted and for that matter other truck manufacturers,most of the noise comes from the exhaust systems fitted by the operator’s. Some of the worst offenders for smoke were Detroit and Caterpillar diesels that had been over fuelled to gain extra power causing excess black smoke. On modern diesels you can neither see or smell exhaust smoke but nobody ever talks about that because their to busy harping on about electric vehicles and how good they are,electric trucks will be useless for long haul operations for a long time to come so stop dreaming and face reality.

HYDROGEN AS BATTERIES : HYDROGEN BATTERIES. Electric vehicles must switch to use hydrogen batteries instead of chemical batteries. People often think about hydrogen as fuel, but many forget that hydrogen is not only a fuel, but also very good battery, too. 1/ The fundamental science dictates essential truth of all chemical batteries : if a chemical energy storing mechanism is charged as quickly as producing hydrogen, then this mechanism PRACTICALLY CANNOT HAVE BETTER ENERGY CONVERSION RATIO THAN ELECTROLYSIS PROCESS. Besides, it is possible to setup and adjust electrolysis reaction speed (for example slow down speed) to reach energy conversion ratio of electrolysis better than any chemical batteries. The best one of all possible chemical batteries in AEROBIC earth conditions is HYDROGEN BATTERY. All revolutions of chemical batteries, lithium batteries, LFP batteries, LTO batteries, graphene batteries .. are for reaching to the features of hydrogen batteries. 2/ New concept : hydrogen battery = (fuel cell + hydrogen storage object). The most simple hydrogen battery = 1 fuel cell + 1 compressed hydrogen balloon 300bar, can easily beat best lithium batteries by all features : more capacity, more power, less weight, forever lifespand, no degradation, charging in 5 minutes, same or better energy conversion ratio, but just noremarkable bigger volume sized than lithium batteries. 3/ So just equip electric vehicles with hydrogen batteries instead of chemical batteries. And equip hydrogen filling stations with mobile electrolysers to produce compressed hydrogen 300+ bar on site from electrical outlets. Electrolysing hydrogen filling stations (hydrogen battery charging stations) can run electrolysers from electrical outlets to produce liquid hydrogen on site, to avoid suddenly leap change requirements for big number of already existing current liquid hydrogen cars in the markets. But liquid hydrogen has low energy conversion ratio. For now and near future, compressed hydrogen (produced on site) is more versatile for various applications. (Additionally envisagedly, owners of ANY SMALL COMPRESSED HYDROGEN MOBILITY VEHICLES/ROBOTS/DEVICES can buy small mobile household electrolysers to recharge hydrogen batteries at home at night/any times). 4/ Example and comparison : hydrogen cars vs battery cars, hydrogen batteries vs chemical batteries : The old approach sets high H2 cost because : they pay for making H2, then they pay much for converting H2 to liquid H2, then they pay much for transporting liquid H2 by trucks (complex safety trucks, and very small weight of liquid H2 on every trucks), then thay pay for keeping cryogen conditions to store liquid H2. But in new approach of ‘electrolysing hydrogen filling station” : you use electricity from electrical outlets at electrolysing hydrogen filling stations to run electrolysers to produce compressed hydrogen 300+bar on site. So you pay only for electricity and water ofcourse. No other fees. No complex cryogen equipments. Compare : hydrogen batteries vs lithium batteries in the approach of “electrolysing hydrogen filling station” : 4.1/ Grid transmission loss : hydrogen battery charging and lithium battery charging onsite cause same grid transmission losses. Conclusion : Equal. 4.2/ Energy conversion ratio in charging : (electric energy -> chemical energy) Electrolysers in quick mode (very high electrolysis reaction speed) have energy conversion ratio about 70%. Lithium batteries quick charging has energy conversion ratio about 60-70%. Electrolysers in slow mode (small electrolysis reaction speed) have energy conversion ratio 90%. Lithium batteries slow charging has energy conversion ratio 90%. Conclusion : electrolysers win, because of the ability of flexible modes of scheduling and functioning to reach higher energy conversion ratio. 4.3/ Energy conversion ratio in performance : (chemical energy -> electric energy) Fuel cell has energy conversion ratio about 75+% in mode of intensive power performance (when require delivering much walt/seconds), energy loss in form of heat. Lithium batteries have energy conversion ratio about 70-% in mode of intensive power performance (when require delivering much walt/seconds), energy loss in form of heat. Fuel cell has energy conversion ratio about 85+% in mode of nointensive power performance (when require delivering less walt/seconds), energy loss in form of heat. Lithium batteries have energy conversion ratio about 95-% in mode of nointensive power performance (when require delivering less walt/seconds), energy loss in form of heat. Conclusion : Equal. 4.4/ Energy loss in energy packing compressing process : Hydrogen battery using compressed H2 300bar cause about 3-5% energy loss for compression. But hydrogen battery weight is very small. Lithium battery loses 0 energy in compression. But lithium battery weight IS INHERENTLY HIGH. That means you always need to transport noneccessary lithium battery heavy weights on your vehicles every seconds. -> The higher power category, the higher loss with lithium batteries. The longer range, the higher loss with lithium batteries. Conclusion : hydrogen batteries win with big advantages 4.5/ Lifespan : Hydrogen batteries have practically forever life span. Lithium batteries have lifespan about 3 years. Some good ones have 5 years. Other modern modified lithium batteries have more lifespan but smaller capacities. But all of them degrade every year. Conclusion : hydrogen batteries win. 4.6/ Influence of environment temperature : Hydrogen batteries never fear environment temperatures. Lithium batteries fear environment temperature. Even in some seasons you can not or your ineffectively use lithium batteries. Conclusion : hydrogen batteries win. 4.7/ Charging time : Hydrogen batteries : load compressed Hydrogen 300+bar or exchange compressed hydrogen canisters 300 bar in 3-5 minutes. But you must waste minimal 30 minutes for nofull charging lithium batteries, and often you must waste some money for paying some unnecessary things in fool waiting times too. -> waste time + waste money. Conclusion : hydrogen batteries win. 4.8/ Synchronyze with grid supplying schedules : Electrolysing hydrogen filling stations can easily pick up flexible schedules to run electrolysers in tandem with grid supplying schedules. So Electrolysing hydrogen filling stations can pick up right hours of day for incentives electrical tarif. Nets of electrolysing hydrogen filling stations ideally use intermitten clean energy/renewable energy. But electric charging stations can not pick up times. High power electric charging stations terribly conflict with intermitten shedules of clean energy/renewable energy. The more higher power electric charging station in quick charging mode, the more terribly it conflicts with intermitten energy supply schedules of clean energy/renewable energy. Conclusion : hydrogen batteries win. FINAL NATURE TRUTH VERDICT : HYDROGEN CARS WIN MANYFOLD AGAINST BATTERY CARS. Just need to make right approach, and right choice

@@Mbongeni_Nyathi, Truck building is a bit different though. They don't build at the same scale, and their products tend to be very tailored to customers requirements, so they have a much higher degree of flexibility to implement BEVs. The fact that they have existing chassis that are both proven and adaptable makes them much more agile. Fuel tanks in a truck are already low down, so it was quite easy to add battery packs. Motors can easily be fitted where the massive transmissions went. Long haul trucks probably need to be redesigned, but these inner city and short/medium haul trucks can totally be replaced by retrofitted units now.

@@haribhanujan8575 Indeed. Volvo Trucks are doing well in Europe, because the fleet managers have spotted the huge cost savings. One bus company in London have put solar panels on their garage roofs, and are using double-decker BEVs on cross town roots. Because they have schedules which allow for extra services during rush hour, some buses sit idle during the middle of the day. Those get charged while sitting in the garage from the solar. The main fleet will charge overnight when electricity is cheapest. The cost of maintenance has fallen dramatically. No oil changes or other engine maintenance and very much fewer repairs. With regen braking the brakes are going to last a lot longer. My borough in SW London has a big university with student halls of residence all over. They have bought their own buses, two of which are Volvo hybrids. They have had them for about 5 years, and now run them in the electric power mode, so the range extender doesn't come on until the battery level falls below about 50%. I have also started spotting electric delivery vans, with both DPD & UPS. It's also quite noticeable when you see the EV London taxi's. The old diesels are so clattery, while the electrics are so quite! I think the most interesting thing is the cab companies that started using Priuses 10 years ago and now only use Leafs. Purely on the running costs. I saw some figures from a New York taxi firm which were using EVs. They had Leafs which had clocked up over 250K miles on the original batteries!

@@SuicidalBabyTTV So change to hybrids until the grid gets sorted. Power Walls, solar panels mandated on roofs. Battery storage could be charged before any brownouts with cheap nightime electricity and these storage batteries used to charge the trucks in an emergency. The world isn't going to stop turning if UPS can't deliver my Amazon parcel for a day or two. Remember NYC delivery trucks only do about 75miles a day, some as little as 5miles so a fully charged truck has about 3 days of juice in it.

Not really necessary. It's a distribution truck. They probably have enough range for the whole day and charge over night. Maybe topping up over lunch if needed. We've had them for a year here in Gothenburg, Sweden, Volvos home town. It feels a bit strange when an absolutely quiet truck comes gliding. :) Volvo is also making electric busses and has delivered half of almost 300 busses to the local transportation company here in Gothenburg. They can quick charge with an automatic connector on certain locations.
