BOSCH: The German supplier has partnered with Nikola Motor Co. to develop a Class 8 hydrogen-electric truck by 2021.
“There’s a potential for total cost shift that favors electrification. We’re all excited and nervous in the same spot, because if it really comes to realization, the change will happen quite fast.”
BYD already makes fully electric trucks, including a Class 8, a Class 6 and a Class 5.
NOTE: All of Byd's offerings get hefty California incentives for fleet operators. Up $150,000 per vehicle. From https://www.californiahvip.org/eligible-technologies/
