UNION CITY, Ind. — Don’t be surprised if trucking fleets will just plug in to an electrical outlet to refuel in the not-so-distant future. A longtime truck industry veteran says he believes textile rental companies will be among the early adopters of the hybrid electric technology that’s evolving from cars to service trucks.
Medium-duty work trucks of all kinds powered mainly by electricity are only five to 10 years away, says Jay Sandler, vice president of commercial products for Workhorse Custom Chassis.
