Electric version of "National Truck" launched, scholars call for stronger freight carbon reduction policies
Electric vehicles are gaining popularity in the freight sector. Earlier this month, Daimler Trucks Asia Taiwan announced the launch of the FUSO eCanter, Taiwan's first electric minivan. Initial buyers include logistics companies like Black Cat Delivery. Transportation carbon reduction experts point out that while the government currently has an electrification plan for passenger transport, buses, cars, and motorcycles, trucks account for approximately 30% of the transportation sector's carbon emissions, prompting a rapid review and related subsidy measures.
