The Future of Supply Chain

The Future of Supply Chain
 

Will electric “Semi” become the norm?  Right now, my guess is that the electrification of trucks will revolve around the following:

  • Battery technology – not up to big rig standards – and progressing slower than expected. Recall that Tesla promised an electric Semi in 2019
  • The willingness of the government to subsidize
  • The ability to augment other sources of energy – like Hydrogen. Yard jockeys (see my note previously on Firefly), drayage, trash trucks, and the like can be effective under 100% battery power because of regenerative braking and their relatively slow speeds and short travel distances
