Built in 48 seconds...Better watch fast...:drive:...BenQuote:
Toyota has unveiled its second prototype of the Project Portal hydrogen fuel cell truck. This "Beta," as Toyota refers to it internally, is the second iteration of the truck, adding more range, more room in the cab, and better usability. This is a more commercially-viable truck, Toyota says.

Or for those who prefer the old-fashioned all-electric Class 8's, a little competition for the Tesla semi...It is a butt-ugly critter, but then I have a certain fondness for ugly trucks...:bigboy:...BenQuote:
If you're in the market for an electric semi, though, you can expect the ET-One to be available sometime in 2019, with pricing ranging from US$150,000 to $250,000 depending on vehicle configuration. Estimated pricing for the Tesla ranges from $150,000 to $180,000.

I'd like to see more information on the Toyota fuel cell.
We have a Hino--I think first and last. The drivers do not like it and claim it is very under powered. We have been moving to KWs cabovers with PACCAR engines.
I am sure they would pass your ugly criteria.
Ugly is as ugly does...The KW is pleasingly ugly, but my current ugly is paid for and getting uglier as time and funding permit...:love:...BenQuote:

Or maybe the electric UPS truck...I'm more used to the noisy one that I can hear approaching my house like the one a few minutes ago...:confuse:...Ben

I was thinking more in terms of your own project.:cool_one:
Links to the entire story (multi-part) and photo progress (or maybe regress depending on point of view) are in the sigline at the bottom of any email I ever sent...:hatoff:...BenQuote:

I used to be concerned with how much our fines ran, then I just regarded it as a cost of doing business.
I did hear the annual cost to UPS in NYC, and it was staggering
Just turn on the yellow blinking light, I do. :)Quote:
