Look at how big that box of batteries needs to be!

Batteries underneath the frame.................

“We are excited to be working with Isuzu to accelerate decarbonization within the partnership. It’s through our joint commitment to innovation that we provide our customers with safe, reliable zero-emissions solutions.”

Now I know where the term “impenetrable gobbledygook” comes from.

I figured that’s where their hiding the diesel generator to keep the batteries charged

"We at V'ger are excited to be working with Isuzu to accelerate decarbonization!"

"The carbon-units infestation is to be removed from the Creator's planet".

Batteries are in between the Side Rails, and the Front, and Rear Crossmembers. The are generally the full length of the frame. At least the last 5 delivery Truck startup companies I've worked for. Batteries below the frame are a No Go.

[MotorCityBuck]

Your correct. The batteries are Hugh :) Heavy as h*ll also.

I was expecting an 18 wheeler.

Phhft.

“Amy Davis, Vice President and President of New Power at Cummins, said the partnership with Isuzu will result in “safe, reliable zero-emissions solutions.”

Yeah, tell us how zero emissions the mining, refining, transporting, etc, etc of those rare earth minerals is.
And how about the electricity generation to recharge all those EV’s?

All just a shell game.
Moving the numbers around, hiding some. Just to fool the gullible.

virtue signalling
but everybody seems to be playing the game
well it’s a “jobs” program for engineers and technicians LOL

[GulliverSwift]

The battery is in the boxcar?

[nascarnation]

Unlikely.
Vehicles like this are typically built without the cargo box, which is added by another supplier.

[old curmudgeon]

You probably can find that there is a government grant or a tax gimmick that makes this at the worst a zero cost and maybe better, a money saving scheme.

[Chad C. Mulligan]

Isuzu partnered with GM in the early 00’s to build diesel engines in Ohio. Total disaster - GM had to re-engineer a lot of the production facility to get any decent engines out of it at all.

I was there.

Draw your own conclusions.

[Mariner]

A 100 mile day is a long day of local delivery.

Now, how much does it cost over 10 years of 100 mile days? And how many days did it miss?
