      Penske doesn’t make trucks.

      Peterbuilt has several EV models. So does MAC. The industry started R&D in electrics years ago.

        I’m not sure what make/model they are. I saw them for brief moments. Here’s the Penske lineup:

        Battery Electric Commercial Truck Test Fleet:

        • Freightliner eCascadia (class 8)
        • Freightliner eM2 (class 6 and 7)
        • Volvo VNR electric tractor (class 8)
        • International® eMV™ (class 6 and 7)
        • Ford E-Transit (Class 2)
        • Orange EV e-Triever electric terminal truck (class 8 yard tractor)
        • Freightliner Custom Chassis MT50e walk-in (class 5 and 6)
        • XOS walk-in (class 6)

        Penske doesn’t make trucks but they have trucks and I know it’s been in r&d for years but it’s cool to actually see them on the road
