      I don’t see any innovation. It looks exactly like a ICE truck. They didn’t start this as a new platform. Just replacing engine won’t cut it.

    I must say. Bitcoin’s price action has been fluctuated throughout the past few days and weeks, with bulls and bears both reaching a clear impasse, the aggregated crypto currency market has been following in Bitcoin’s lead and is struggling to garner any decisive momentum. One analyst is now noting that BTC has been holding above a key macro level throughout the past few months. He believes that the recent consolidation above this level bodes well for its near-term outlook and could indicate that significantly further upside is imminent in the weeks and months ahead. Tips like this are why it’s advisable for investors and newbies to trade with the help of pro traders like Gilbert Mateo. He is always one step ahead of other traders, He fully monitored all my trades to avoid me making mistakes and losing my money. My earnings have increased drastically from 1.01 BTC to 6.700 BTC in just 4 weeks using His strategy. You can easily get hold of him for a pr0fitable system on TE-LE-GRAM @ matgilbert

      Making over 3.4 Btc is so satisfying. I mean it’s time-consuming, but that keeps me coming back. All thanks to Crypto

    If your answer to, “what is the major challenge?” is, “we need government incentives/subsidies”, you’re misguided.

    The major bottleneck is batteries, range, and charging infrastructure.

    Tesla Semi is 500+ miles using tabless battery architecture, and will be autonomous long term.

    • Tesla Hype

      August 12, 2021 at 8:31 pm

      But, it’s GREAT to see electric trucks over dirty diesel! Love to see Volvo getting into this space. Great job! 👍

    What about the emf generated

    • Carlos Gonzalez

      August 12, 2021 at 9:51 pm

      Motors that size can’t generate that big of an emf.

    35% EV by 2030 is too little too late.
    In 2030 ALL vehicles will be electric.
    Just watch Tony Seba’s videos.

    Wait until they don’t know what to do with the batteries

    • Carlos Gonzalez

      92% recyclable

      This is the beauty of battery components. They can be recycled.

    • Carlos Gonzalez

      August 12, 2021 at 10:06 pm

      @Kito cheaper then mining for them. You can’t find 92% ore anywhere, and you don’t have to hunt for it

      First thing he is asking for is gov handouts/grants…then he does not know technical key terms…pathetic…he mentions climate change a couple times i bet in private he is a selfish millionare who never does profit sharing for his employees…very bad character indeed…

      People still haven’t learned not to short Tesla especially when Tesla lost shorts billions of dollars just trying to bring Tesla down.

    As long as they are using existing platforms they will never get pass 150 miles of range. I don’t understand why legacy automakers they don’t want to innovate and they just want to play it safe.

    Wait until it breaks down. Companies will never fix them after warranty expires because of the cost to fix it.

      Our family garage has 3 volvos spanning 2 decades – not one worked right and no one in the family knows what to do with them

    As a truck driver,my question is, NY doesn’t have adequate parking for trucks period; so where are these trucks going to park to recharge? STUPID

  22. Ophtho Dawg

    August 17, 2021 at 3:47 am

    Wow, the “design” looks super unimpressive… no detail on the tech, battery, charging specs… its a fluff piece for Volvo

    arent alternate fuels like hydrogen more environmental …..
    batteries are non-recyclable , where making hydrogen from renewable sources are practical

    It’s good for local companies but at a large scale over the roads drivers barely have space to park in NY highway shoulders and ramps ………
    where are they going to put chargers ?

    • Leon Ramkumar

      August 17, 2021 at 8:00 am

      At the depot, where these park at night. They won’t need to charge them that often during the day. In Europe and the UK, I can see that BP and Shell and offering a lot of charging solutions through partnerships and via their own forecourts. I haven’t used one yet as I have my own charger at home, and I tend to find the Tesla network easier and faster when I’m out, but other drivers are definitely using them.

    This is perfect for “drayage vehicles’, truck delivering goods and also garbage trucks. High price to buy but much much cheaper to run!

  29. Martin

    August 17, 2021 at 2:00 pm

    THANK YOU VOLVO! why are US manufacturers not racing to make electric trucks, why isn’t New York City mandating all delivery trucks to be electric? I’ve seen
    electric UPS trucks in Amsterdam.

    Man !! Truckers can’t be sitting around and charge up the truck. How long does it take to charge and how many miles can it go on the charge ? Psssshhh….you got to have a lot of these in every lot etc. Let’s see where this goes

  33. Lucas Atilano

    August 17, 2021 at 7:06 pm

    Patting yourself in the back for 5 trucks with NYC subsidy, and then bragging about how you might get to 30% EVs in 10 years, show how disconnected these people are.

  34. Nostra Dumbass

    August 17, 2021 at 7:21 pm

    Manhattan, eh? The island? So, these trucks will be driving over bridges and thru tunnels all day long… Huh, hopefully, when one of these spontaneously combusts, it won’t be in one of the tunnels or on a bridge. Hopefully it won’t be on one of the streets surrounded by highrises. Hopefully they’ll be able to put out the fire in less than a day or two…

    On the bright side, at least they’re not Tiderbox, I mean Tesla.

    Great news, New York already has a pretty clean energy supply. Over half of new yorks energy supply in 2​015 was renewable, hydro or nuclear. The other 40% was mainly natural gas, and the proportion of renewable energy is increasing. New York actually uses less electricity than it did in 2005. Source:
