The light show rollout and hype-filled introduction of the Tesla Cybertruck has disrupted the marketplace and undoubtedly shifted marketing plans for a variety of companies.
While presented as beefy and capable as the Ford F-150, because of its non-standard configuration, the Cybertruck will likely fail to be seen as a true head-to-head competitor, even if it can keep to its stated $39,900 starting price.
Now there’s more F-150 electrified news. “We’re going to be electrifying the F-Series—battery electric and hybrid,” Jim Farley, Ford president of global markets, said.
Daimler Trucks and its subsidiary, Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus, debuted the E-Fuso Vision One electric heavy-duty truck at Tokyo Motor Show.
Robert Bollinger, founder of Bollinger Motors, wanted to build an electric vehicle that focused more on what it could do, rather than what statement the car could make. The result is the B1 electric sport utility truck.
If you need a light-duty delivery vehicle to haul cargo in-town and short distances on the freeway, then you should be considering the 2013 Nissan NV200 Cargo.
