I think this US trucking company is doing some interesting things on the path towards sustainable transportation... even though I do not believe it is actually building or using electric trucks at present.
It is making good progress on autonomous transportation:

Though I understand that it is only testing its autonomous trucks on fixed routes at this stage.
What made me curious is the fact that VW trucking subsidiary Traton has invested in the business:

Now VW is rapidly moving towards electrification of its fleet passenger.
It will be interesting to see both how TuSimple will progress and how the VW relationship will play out.
