Electric Vehicle Developments

Electrek reported that Peterbilt is making it easier for government fleets to go electric by adding its medium- and heavy-duty battery electric trucks to its cooperative purchasing agreement. InsideEVs reported that Smart's new city EV, the #2, has had its initial Couture Edition sold out in all available countries.

InsideEVs also reported that Hyundai says hydrogen cars are not dead, but finding customers is a challenge, according to a Hyundai executive. This means that someone importing into Egypt should be aware of the ongoing developments in the electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicle markets.
