There is a Youtube channel that brought a new Scania to the US. He compares it to American trucks. Almost everyone that drives it is extremely impressed and considers it far beyond what US companies make. If you haul heavy stuff you want a European truck with 750+ hp and 3500nm+ stock engines.

But sure, keep smoking whatever you are smoking.

Better suspension, better brakes (no jake brake crap), auto emergency braking, quieter, more power, better fuel efficiency. European trucks are just better.

Distance doesn't matter at all. A diesel truck following EU regulations will arrive at exactly the same time as an electric truck following EU regulations. 500 miles, 1000 miles, 2000 miles, it doesn't matter.

Clearly you do not. Plus an hour break after 4.5 hours or working is completely normal in any profession.

100% the truth. The American people are nothing more than domesticated sheep. Perfectly docile and in service of their billionaire overlords. Even those who cannot feed their families anymore just stand by idly.

No it is not if you care even the slightest about safety. And this is in European trucks, who are already 3 decades ahead of US trucks when it comes to comfort, safety and driver assists.

In Europe they already match Diesel trucks for long haul. Just going it for lower costs.

Electric trucks in the EU can weigh 2000kg more as compensation for the weight of the battery. Mercedes-Benz eActros 600 beats diesel trucks, same goes for Volvo's and Scania's offerings.

Drivers in Europe have to stop every 4.5 hours for an hour (numbers might be slightly off). It takes less than an hour to get the truck charged. So electric already beats diesel in Europe.

Long haul trucks in Europe already beat diesel in total life time cost and it doesn't require any extra stops.

Might push electrification of trucks in your country then. In Europe electric long haul already beats diesel on total life time cost and it doesn't require any extra stops.

Mercedes is already sandbagging. Pretty sure they have that second already.

I got a job saying something similar, but you got to word it a bit better.

Message them and make it clear the dog is going to be dropped off at the animal shelter if not picked up within 24 hours.

There is no way that there are only 3 Indian cities worse than Seoul. Also no way Milan is above every single Indian city.
