The Use of Electric Trucks for Car Transport May Help to Better Understand the Use of This Type of Vehicle

Nissan has started using electric car carrier trucks for the delivery of new cars at the Port of Los Angeles, California. The trucks are supplied by manufacturers Nikola and Kenworth, and the first deliveries included the new 2023 Ariya crossover from the Japanese automaker.

According to the brand, the use of heavy vehicles powered by new propulsion systems for deliveries will help Nissan and its logistics partners understand more about the use of this type of vehicle. Initially, a test was conducted with four battery electric (BEV) dump trucks. Now, the automaker is already planning to deploy more trucks in the Los Angeles area.

The Japanese Automaker Plans to Build Its Second Factory, Which Should Be Built in the USA

According to Mobilitynow, in addition to announcing the news of the electric car carrier trucks, Nissan is studying the construction of a second battery factory, which could contribute to increasing the brand’s supply in the United States. It is worth remembering that the automaker already has an electric vehicle factory in Smyrna, Tennessee, and plans to build electric powertrains at its factory in Decherd, in the same state.

The Japanese brand aims to meet the requirements of the Inflation Reduction Act with its new manufacturing projects, according to Chief Operating Officer Ashwani Gupta. “The law is challenging, but on the other hand, it is an opportunity to accelerate competitive electrification,” he stated.

The Automaker’s New Goal is for Electrified Vehicles to Represent More Than 55% of Global Sales

Nissan has increased its global sales targets for electrified cars aiming to stand out in the sector, which is dominated by automakers like Tesla in the United States. Now, the brand plans for electrified models to represent more than 55% of global sales by the end of 2030.

The mix of electric vehicles, which includes car carrier trucks, will increase from 40% to 44% by the fiscal year 2026, according to Nissan. The Japanese automaker plans to launch 27 electrified vehicles this year, with 19 being fully electric. The previous plan was to release 23 electrified vehicles to the market in 2023, including 15 BEVs.
