    The first series of these trucks are going to be used by supermarket chains, so no problem. Furthermore there are many companies with charging stations at their parking lots. If a truck needs to be charged with a customer, then they can use the same system as with public charging stations that you can find in many cities. The charging station may not even be owned by the customer, but by the electricity company instead.

    Don't know how they have solved that problem. But you can ask that question with any electric truck.

    brasil is going to have huge problems with introduction of euro6, their fuel is not even close to levels of acceptable for advanced common rail. how to solve this i have no problem, guess volvo is very close since they had e6 engine before without cr.

    trucks yes, engines, very big question. they are trying to stop release of latest technologies so this is how e6 become more efficient than e5

    that is about range of 2005+ euro4/5 engines, latest euro5 are better (dont know exact numbers), top rated euro6 are better...
    at that time euro2 engines were few g worst, like 187/188 at that time euro3 got abut 191-192
