Tesco to begin UK’s first commercial use of fully electric HGVs

Two 37-tonne lorries will transport goods from a rail freight terminal in Cardiff to the company’s hub in Magor, about 30 miles away, from January.

The vehicles can travel about 100 miles on a single charge, making the relatively short distance of the round trip an ideal route to test how further vehicles could be rolled out in the fleet, Britain’s biggest supermarket said.

The first two, from the Dutch manufacturer DAF, are expected to make about 65,000 miles of haulage journeys otherwise made by diesel vehicles, cutting an estimated 87.4 tonnes of CO2 emissions a year.

You might need to explain that concept for the Teslarati amongst us....

Not bad to go from a piece of paper to a functioning factory with your own battery design, an order book worth 10's of billions from across the industry, having sold half a JV with VW and inked another with Volvo in 6 years.

While your at it, you might like to explain to the UK government that there is a difference between saying the UK will be a leader in battery tech and making it a reality.
