- German company Mahle has unveiled an all-in-one solution that can be easily integrated into existing electric trucks.
- The unit includes a compact diesel engine, a generator, a fuel tank, an AdBlue tank, and all of the thermal and fluid management systems.
- Mahle says its solution can replace about a third of the battery capacity of an existing electric truck.
Electric trucking is slowly becoming more mainstream, but battery-powered big rigs are probably not for everybody, at least not yet. Tesla and Mercedes-Benz have proved that you can squeeze over 400 miles of range out of an electric truck, but some companies and drivers might still see that figure as an inconvenience.
