Reduction in the operational & running costs :
Electric trucks offer substantial long-term cost savings for heavy duty trucks. While the initial investment may be higher than traditional diesel trucks, the operational costs are significantly lower. With fewer moving parts, reduced maintenance costs, & most important low running costs, electric trucks provide a compelling economic case for LSP (Logistic service provider) looking to optimize their operational expenses. Due to less moving parts the maintenance costs are minimal & the biggest benefit comes from low running costs, which is 70% less compared to ICE diesel trucks.
Environmental Sustainability:
