The auto world is changing fast,Cummins has added to that change by unveiling a semi electric truck.

The have beat Tesla to it !.Few weeks back Elon Musk hinted that Tesla was working on electric semi trucks.They might be late to the party ,but most likely we would see a “retaliation” from Tesla soon.

The Aeos ,has 100 mile(160 Km) range and 140KWh battery,the Tesla truck is expected to hit 200-300 mile(321-483Km) range.The Aeos can haul about 22 tons(20,000 Kg).

While the Aeos is still in concept stage ,a working demonstration was showcased.Full production is expected to start in 2019.

“We will leverage our deep industry and customer knowledge and our scale advantage to win,” said Cummins President and CEO Rich Freeland. “Over the past century, our ability to innovate and adapt has fueled our success, and we are confident we are on the right path to do it again.”

This one no go dey rugged enuf for Nigerian roads

Rugged them...dis is a welcome development.

Looks too beautiful n fragile for Ilorin-Jebba road.

Lovely

Tesla isn't just trying to build semi-electric trucks, they are on the cusp of mass producing driverless trucks that travel long distances on just battery power. It is a very disruptive company, very soon you will see fleets of trucks hauling goods to and fro without any drivers.

Oyibo moving farther into innovation and productivity while we are here struggling with corruption in high places, Ritualists in low places, kidnapping , witchcraft, poverty, agitations, boko Haram, militancy adding it up to stupid government both in the centre and every nook and cranny of this country.

I wonder how we keep surviving, naija ma country is strong ooo, what breaks other countries keep making us stronger

God bless America

Ok

Truck wei no fit move for Niger road.

20 years from now Nigerians will assemble a semi electic truck them claim that theu invented it

why can't we have a hybrid car (gas and electric) with photovoltaic roof and bonnet tops, that indeed is the future

instead of a truck that requires charging every 100km

just where did we get it wrong in this country...thousands, if not millions of engineers scattered all around the country, tens and hundreds of engineering faculties, departments and research institutes in every corner of this country...yet, we still struggle, buy, hire and somethings beg for the most trivial fruits of technology.

Isn't technology wonderfull?
