Wk6: Zero emissions from trucks? What are your thoughts there – will this be happening soon?

I am not so sure of rolling out zero emissions trucks.  Although the Artificial Intelligence portion is rapidly evolving that some trucks has capability of switching to autopilot.  This is a safe and good options on those long and lonely nights on the interstate highway as they travel through the States.

Yes, zero emissions are super nice, but there are just not enough fueling stations for hydrogen fuel cell and takes a long time to charge up rechargeable battery.  These do not fit the business requirement of most trucking!

One of old coworker’s husband is in the trucking business.  My understanding is many of them are independent contractors with their own trucks.  They are hired as subcontractors for each job.  My coworker and her husband are both working adults to support their growing family.  It would be highly unlikely that they can afford a zero-emission truck.   Perhaps when the markets is more conducive then the demand will arise.
