Don't have a clue Mossy. All I know is UPS tried electric delivery trucks (Freightliner chassis) some years back when I worked at the Freightliner dealership and I remember when they came in for something mechanical, they were sequestered to the back of the shop and roped off. never fiddled with them at all and then UPS decided they didn't work so they got rid of them. UPS also tried Hydrogen powered delivery trucks and that didn't pan out either because of the complexities in refueling them. The Toledo UPS hub is pretty aggressive with trying various technologies.
I see Amazon is trying out EV Transit Fords. Have not seen any yet however. Probably ok for urban deliveries but not out here. Too far range wise. been waiting for one of the Amazon drones to deliver out here, my dog would love that...lol
Problem with living in east bum fudge is it's too far to be impacted by new technology I guess.
