"“This is the biggest transition we have ever seen.” It’s a phrase that we have
heard often enough in the last few years as the world charges towards a green
energy future.
But this quote was not about the switch from coal to renewables, or gas peakers
to batteries, or from petrol cars to electric. This came from the CEO of Scania
trucks, and it was about the transition in the trucking industry. And it is
huge.
The IAA Transportation Hub is the biggest trucking show in the world. And
because trucks are, well, big, it covers a massive area that needs shuttles to
get from one side of the week-long show to the other.
The last time the show was held, in 2019, it was all about horsepower and just
a little about alternative fuels. This year though, so much has changed, and it
was hard to spot a diesel burner anyway in the show.
It was almost all electric – and this from the trucking industry, which we
should remind ourselves is the sector that is supposed to be slowest and the
most difficult to electrify."
