Daimler CEO: Lack of Electric Truck Chargers a Top Concern
Martin Daum Pleased With Advances in Truck Technology
The world’s biggest commercial vehicle maker warned that slow progress adding charging infrastructure is threatening the shift to zero-emission trucking.
The lack of electric truck chargers in Europe and the U.S. “is my biggest concern,” Martin Daum, who heads Daimler Truck Holding AG, said in an interview. He cited lengthy permitting and the challenges of installing megawatt-level charging stations that could require the peak power demand of a small town. The German manufacturer reports first-quarter earnings May 2.
