    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
