Drayage sector is the target market for this.
Tough to make it work though most drayage operators are hand to mouth sole proprietors. The drayage fleet is majority second hand with some operators buying tractors for as low as $5000 per.
These trucks will cost over $300,000 at least early on in their adoption.
But it's not surprise this is being rolled out now. Ports of San Pedro bay (the largest port in North America) set a target this summer for 50% of trucks accessing the port to be low or no emissions by 2030.
Drayage trucks are notoriously dirty from a local air pollution perspective. Cleaning that fleet should be a priority.
