HAVING trucks go green is currently hugely expensive said Juan Baez, director of San Diego-based trucking company Bali Express Services at the North American Development Bank's 2024 summit in San Antonio.
Bali Express is a carrier with 357 diesel trucks, 32 natural gas trucks and three electric trucks, reported New York's FreightWaves.
'Each electric truck costs almost half a million, so the investment is huge,' Mr Baez said. 'Right now, the most challenging part of the electric trucks is the mile range, the amount of range is minimum.
'It could go from 120 miles up to 220 miles for a truck that costs half a million, which is very, very expensive, even though providing better air quality to the border communities is the most important thing right.'
NADBank's annual summit included federal, state and municipal authorities, along with business organisations, academia, financial institutions, investors, project# developers and experts, from both the US and Mexico.
