Very cool, if true

I just read the EGV article: 250 miles, half of it with a 24-ton load, on slow roads with serious inclines.

Probably not the 6-8 hours of motorway plus 2 hours of urban traffic that represents the 'ideal' working day for HGV's operated by drivers subject to tachometer-monitored work time limits...

But it's now within reach of a worthwile percentage of HGVs: tho ones with fixed schedules of medium-distance delivery-and-pickup to a central location.

The technology is (I think) about halfway to being equivalent to existing diesel trucks: if it improves by five percent a year, we'll see EGVs taking more than half the current HGV traffic within a decade.
