Pepsi goes electric
R
REUTERS has reported that PepsiCo has reserved 100 of Tesla’s electric trucks, the largest known order of the big rig, as the company allegedly seeks to reduce fuel costs and fleet emissions.
Tesla unveiled the truck last month and expects the truck to be in production by 2019.
However, many big transport companies are holding off on the Tesla for now, with Tesla admitting it has problems filling orders for its small cars, and questions being raised over whether the company has the manufacturing capability to build large numbers of big trucks.
There are also questions over recharging times compared to a diesel fill-up, range, and payload capabilities and how the market for electric commercial vehicles will develop.
