I agree both have there place, Lithium in smaller trucks up to 5,000kg, what would be good tho would be a litium battery that can be changed quickly in under 5 min.


Companies that i know that have multi shift work patterns would like there trucks to work all the time. I don't know a litium truck that can be back with out a minimum charging time of 2 hours for full shift. Lithium is good for the customer who only run one shift for the truck other wise there needs to be time to charge.

A example of what im saying can be found in the new Hyster big electric trucks. the J8.0XN can run for 8 hours then need a 2 hour recharge. the bigger planned container handling truck can works for 3 hours then needs a 90 min charge or 10 min charge every hour.
when time is taken into account the 90 min charge becomes 120 min and the 10 min charge becomes 20 min.


This is the problem im saying Both Amazon and Walmart have made big purchases of Hydrogen trucks in the US this year saying have looked at all options hydrogen offered better value for money for a larger fleet.


If it was only one or two trucks working single shifts then lithium would be better up to 5,000kg
