and operational demands.

For electric service vehicles as well, it’ s important to consider factors such as range limitations and the availability of charging infrastructure, which can have an impact on their suitability for certain applications.

Promising but Challenging

The potential for wider integration of electric and hybrid service trucks is promising, but it’ s not without challenges. One significant hurdle is the higher upfront cost of electric and hybrid vehicles compared to traditional diesel trucks, which can be a barrier to entry for some fleet operators.

Building out a robust charging infrastructure is also crucial and requires significant investment. The availability of charging stations, especially in remote locations where service trucks often operate, will be critical in alleviating concerns about range and ensuring uninterrupted operation.

Despite these challenges,

In collaboration with Odyne Systems, IMT has displayed a wallboard loader to showcase efficiencies offered by electrified solutions.

manufacturers are paving the way by investing in the development of innovative solutions that meet the evolving needs of their customers. By embracing these technologies, service truck operators can not only reduce their environmental impact but also enhance their operational efficiency and gain a competitive edge in the market.

Looking to the future, it’ s clear that the service truck industry is on the road to a quiet, efficient and technologically
