There can be more than one solution to a problem. Battery technology will continue to evolve to facilitate a significant reduction in charging times, you can be sure of that. Look at the Kalmar FastCharge shuttle, for example.

The adoption costs for li-ion battery trucks are basically nil, this is not the case for hydrogen, so only larger fleets will be able to justify it in the short to medium term. So we will see sales of li-ion trucks surge in the next 12 months.

PS. Amazon has ordered 1000 li-ion trucks from Jungheinrich, so they are open to both solutions. It would be foolish to rule either one out at such an early phase in their development.

Fact of the week
Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
