Hi Steemit family!

Meet ie truck the first 100% electric truck

Today I come to present another innovation in the field of vehicles, this time it is a truck, many have thought that solar or electrical technology is something fleeting and fashionable, that after a while will continue using fossil fuel, the reality is that many renowned companies and other emerging and are changing their technology from internal combustion engines to use renewable energy, in order to be more respectful of the environment. Today I present to you ie truck the first 100% electric truck. Come with me to learn more about this novelty at the beginning of the century.

ie truck is the name of what would be the first truck 100% electric, currently there are other brands that have launched hybrid trucks, but so far no 100% electric, this has happened in view of many companies are skeptical and undervalue the potential of electric power to move cars and more if it is a truck, have seen it as something unviable and seems to get nowhere.

For that reason, the Spanish house Irizar and of Basque origin has manufactured a new electric truck which they have called ie truck weighs 18 tons and is the first 100% electric truck that will also offer the option of having available a natural gas tank which will give it an almost perpetual autonomy. The company has restricted access to the performance information, also has a dimension of 8 meters long.

In this first phase, the ie truck has been thought of as the garbage collection truck, and it is expected that in the course of this year the existing fleet in different parts of Spain will be changed.

The company Irizar uses the same technology for models of public transport buses that have been successful, and therefore the logic is that the technology is implemented in the truck with some modifications for the weight of the truck and the weight it has to transport. It is a truck designed for cities and because it is electric does not emit a thunderous sound which means peace of mind for the night routes of waste collection.

So far they have these two presentations, but they plan to continue innovating to get other models perhaps of cars that can expand their commercial catalog. And this to supposed a radical transformation of this company that manufactured models of buses to diesel and that later began its course towards the hybrid technology until arriving at the point to make buses and now a truck 100% electric.

This azaña of a company that thinks and breathes the green change, towards sustainable technologies in the time and that does not impact the environment. It is worth admiring and applauding. I believe that in the medium term, the other companies that produce internal combustion engines will have no choice but to assume the change. It is not yet known what impact this would have on the companies that sell oil and produce it, I think it is not pleasant for a business that has lasted more than 100 years.

So far the company promises to make about 1000 cars per year a modest figure but sure will grow over time.
