Canadian railroad to rely on e-trucks
Canadian National Railway (CN) has signed an MoU with The Lion Electric company for the conception, design and manufacturing of eight tandem axle, class 8, zero-emission, electric trucks.
The vehicles, which will be deployed in cities across the CN network in Canada, will be tested for different tasks from urban delivery, container shuttle service, to port operations, and cross-town service. The trucks will be built to withstand North American weather and road conditions.
The trucks will also produce no noise pollution and each truck will remove 100 t of greenhouses gases from the road annually. Delivery of the trucks is expected in summer 2020. (ben)
