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.

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.
