UPS says 50 Workhorse plug-in hybrid trucks cost no more than regular delivery vans - Green Car Reports

For almost a decade, commercial-fleet managers have acknowledged that electric truck are much cheaper to run per mile than the diesel equivalents they now use.

But justifying the purchase of electric trucks has been a challenge because their upfront costs have been considerably higher.

That may now have changed, according to no less a fleet operator than United Parcel Service.

Nah, that was me.

 

[oldngray]

Nah, that was me.

You did grab the "artist's concept" of a truck that doesn't exist yet to touch up though.

 

[Operational needs]

Nah, that was me.

I figured that. I was messing with @sailfish because that’s his girl. Lol.

Correct which was implied by @Operational needs in her reference to 'photoshop that on the side'.
I took an image and added a sarcastic reference to Taylor Swift using photoshop.
And for an even more in-depth explanation of a logical thought processing.
Thanks for extending me an opportunity to explain the developing realization that TS is just a Brand.

Just hope us mechanics get some training on them in advance, for a change, before we have to deal with them.

Cost no more, but are different, and will add to required skills and parts system inventory. Charging wiring will also need to be built into centers at unknown cost. I am not an electrician.

Shocking.

It seems the Workhorse brand has returned from the dead.

 

[upsyo]

should of gone with freightliner. our workhorse trucks are absolute garbage and the horn never ever ever works

 

[Jackburton]

We have two in our center, I bet they cost less until they go out of warranty. These suckers are missing more than they are being used.

I am going to guess that is going to be a no.... lol and they will expect us to be experts in them from day one.
