Trucks
In 2018, OEMs announced ambitious plans to electrify their product lines and some of the first models have become commercially available. Significant plans to electrify mediumand heavy-duty vehicles have been announced by DAF, Daimler, MAN, Navistar, Nikola, PACCAR, Volkswagen and Volvo (Daimler, 2019a, 2019b, 2019c; Hurt, 2018; Randall, 2019a; (DAF Trucks, 2018); MAN, 2018a, 2018b; Volvo Trucks, 2018).32 Emerging OEMs such as Tesla and Thor Trucks and others have joined incumbent OEMs with their announcements to roll out production (Kolodny and Petrova, 2018; Tesla, 2019b).

Notes: Heavy-duty electric trucks here have a gross vehicle weight > 15 tonnes. Model launch in 2019 or before if no other year indicated.
Sources: E Force One - E Force One (2018). EMOSS - EMOSS (2018) and Allison Transmission (2018). Cummins AEOS - Baumann (2018). eFuso and eActros - Daimler (2018b; 2018c). MAN - MAN (2018a; 2018c). Volvo FL Electric and FE Electric - Volvo Group (2018). Tesla Semi - Tesla (2019b); Ayre (2018).
A growing number of electric heavy-freight truck models will hit the market soon, offering larger sizes and wider driving ranges.
Efforts are concentrated around the electrification of medium-duty trucks that are mostly used for urban delivery or waste collection. These categories are the most favourable for electrification due to relatively short driving range requirements (around 200 km). All OEMs with electric ambitions have announced at least one model for this segment and models by
32 These plans mention driver comfort and noise reduction as important benefits yielded by electrification, in addition to the traditional benefits of reduced fuel costs, emissions and pollution.
