🚛⚡ China’s Electric Truck Push
China isn’t just the world’s biggest car exporter — it’s moving fast into electric trucks. Stricter emissions rules will make it nearly impossible to rely solely on fossil‑fuel fleets, and LNG trucks only marginally cut emissions.
As I pointed out in The Associated Press article: “Chinese automakers have kept costs down and sped up truck manufacturing while ensuring different parts work seamlessly together with in‑house production of most key components, from batteries to motors and electronics”. China’s hyperactive delivery industry is already a proving ground for these EV trucks.
Exports of Chinese heavy‑duty trucks (including EVs) to the Middle East and North Africa jumped ~73 % annually from 2021–23. The share of electric trucks is expected to rise, though charging infrastructure remains a challenge.
