yeah wondering who he got to approve the darn thing, knowing what standards it has to meet doesn't answer the question.
but i wonder about that since he said it "will be" meaning it isn't there yet or he's just using bad interpretations of language , grammar.
If the truck was built and running he would have said "it meets" those standards.
I have a feeling by the time he actually get this thing on the market the standards will change again and push back his release once again.
AND on another note, since the global community is on the zero carbon bandwagon and pushing to eliminate fossil fuels all together how is this truck going to even be a viable product? Based on that path nobody would want to get into building anything fossil fuel driven and concentrate strictly on power sources that are NOT fossil fuel based.
Not sure if that's even possible in any form to run a forklift in any suitable fashion that's cost effective. At ANY stage of any power source development there is going to be fossil fuel involvement at some point. So in actuality he can't truthfully say it's "zero emission" because that would be a lie. But then again this is all just a play on words and terms to support a global narrative to reduce carbon emissions because global business community wants to come up with new tech. to generate more avenues to make more money.
Not the first time the earth its ecology and our involvement in it has been used to do that.
