Electric Semi-Truck

A Chinese automaker recently announced an electric semi-truck scheduled to hit the market in 2024. Known as Homtruck, it will feature multiple power options including plug-in hybrid and fully electric versions.

The new vehicle will be partially autonomous, allowing hands-free driving on certain roads. It will also feature a modern sleeper cab for extra comfort. By 2030, the company plans to make the truck fully self-driving.

The manufacturer has set a goal of 40 percent of annual sales to be “new energy” vehicles by 2025. That includes hydrogen as well as electric and hybrids. The new semi-truck will compete directly with Tesla’s counterpart, which is scheduled for production in 2022.
