All-electric trucks make no sense for long-distance travel: BMW CTO

BMW CTO and Board of Management member Klaus Fröhlich, while talking about battery-powered long-haul tractor-trailer trucks versus fuel cells, insisted fuel cells have a future while batteries don't. "If you look at the range of a truck you would need a 16-ton payload only for the battery which is...nonsense," he said. "All-electric trucks are complete bullshit for long-distance," he added.
