Wants to go electric, but some vehicles are easier to electrify than others. While the tech world is going mad for electric cars, bigger vehicles are proving more difficult. The bigger and heavier they are, the bigger and heavier the batteries need to be. More than a quarter of greenhouse gas emissions from road transport in the eu comes from heavy duty vehicles. And because nearly everything we eat, drink and where will have been in a big truck at some point, the cleaner, greener future is going to need cleaner, greener haulage. And some manufacturers are pushing on with the switch to electric, as alasdair keane has been finding out. There are millions of heavy goods trucks driving on roads all over the world. But why are so few of them running on electricity? to find out, we are near sweden s capital, home to one of europe s biggest truck manufacturers. They are on the long road to changing an industry that is having a big impact on our planet. This is the largest change our industry
Wants that to be every vehicle they make. Switching to electric vehicle production hasn t been easy. One of the biggest challenges is the weight of the batteries. They had to reinforce the concrete and bring in new equipment to be able to lift them, and that meant closing down the production line for three months. There are several thousand new components in the electric vehicles, and they re also, what was very important during this time, was to also cater for the reskilling of all our fantastic workforce so that they could be able also to mount electric vehicles, just as they do for internal combustion engines. Unlike for cars, this move to electric trucking is going at a very slow pace. So what motivates a company to make such a big gearshift? hi, how are you doing? welcome on board. Thank you. Nice to meet you. I m hitching a lift from the man with the keys to this organisation. This company have been part of the problem for 130 years almost, a very long time producing. . . Certain
This week should we go for a ride . I think we should. Alasdair keane strapped into a truck with a distance. Difference. But how hard is it to power a drug by battery . You can start with lots of robots. It is quite mesmerising to watch. Love a robot. I know you do. Plus from ten wheels to do but how about a scooter powered by gas . We have also been overrun by rats this week, but ai has a solution in its sites. And there is something weird lurking in the water. Those are my toes you are talking about, and they were freezing. If you leave them in their long enough you will real story here is we are exploring the depths by robots.

This week. What do you think, should we go for a ride . I think we should. Lets go. Alasdair keane strapped into a truck with a difference. But how hard is it to power a 40 tonner by battery . You can start with lots of robots. It is quite mesmerising to watch. Love a robot. I know you do. Plus from ten wheels to do but how about a scooter powered by gas . We have also been overrun by rats this week, but ai has a solution in its sights. And there is something weird lurking in the water. Hey those are my toes you are talking about, and they were freezing. If you leave them in their long enough they will become numb. The real story here is we are exploring the depths by robots.

You have had experience with the Kamala Harris as a d. A. Attorney general senator and so forth. Tell the american people a littlittlebit about your story. To draw the attention of Kamala Harris. First filed a lawsuit against the church for being molested as a child. And the priest who had molested me was a priest from San Francisco. I went to to San Francisco with other victims before Kamala Harris was d. A. We talked to the District Attorney and terrence had accumulated files, lots of files on sex and bewkes who he had subpoenaed and gathered through investigations. He was going after them full force. Kamala harris beat him in early 2004 as the new District Attorney. So the files were in her care then. So, we immediately started contacting her, asking her if she released the names in those files or release the complaints in the files because there were a number of people who had filed a suit against the predators. We wanted them held accountable. She ignored us. We started protesting
