Throughout the world, the government suppresses car makers to transition from gasoline-powered vehicles to cars and electrical trucks that use battery power. While the government said the workers who were moved could only learn to do other work, it was not always easy. Daimler trucks recently announced that moving from traditional gas and diesel trucks to zero-emissions fuel cell trucks will cost about half of the work in a truck engine factory in Europe for the next 15 years.
CEO of Daimler Truck Martin Daum urged policy makers to prepare a large number of workers moved now. Moving towards zero-emissions, especially trucks, is part of the sustainability target that must be met by a car maker. However, fuel cells have fewer parts that move and need a little labor to build rather than combustion engines.
Daum said that we must realize that around 50 percent of the work will disappear due to fuel cells and batteries are far more complex than the current diesel engine and transmission. The executive said the good news was around 15 years to prepare before a large number of workers were affected. Daimler Truck is the largest truck maker in the world and has stated that “all-in” on electric fuel cell vehicles and hydrogen.
Truckmaker said that zero emission vehicles will redeem 60 percent of its sales in 2030 and 100 percent of its sales in 2039. Daum also said that building hydrogen fuel filling infrastructure is very important to get fuel cell operators and European help meet climate goals. The executive runs as far as saying if it has a truck today that will be available in 2025 and so on, they will not sell because there is no hydrogen fuel filling network. The lack of hydrogen and electrical charging networks is often shown as a big reason more consumers don’t transition to current electric vehicles.
