Heavy-Duty Truck Electrification
Strategies and technologies for transitioning commercial freight vehicles from internal combustion engines to electric powertrains. Key approaches include battery-swapping, charging-infrastructure, and Retrofitting.
Battery Swapping
Rapid replacement of depleted battery packs with fully charged ones to minimize downtime. Critical for high-utilization heavy-duty applications where charging times are prohibitive.
