Freighliner is Daimler trucks, Daimler trucks became apart of Mercedes Benz Group in 2022... learn to research and you might just find more than the "single news article" that you are looking for.

@@TechDriveTVAt 6:47 in the video, they say "Eddie Aston, CEO of Freightliner, unexpectedly decided to stop producing any electric vehicles within the firm." Was that publicly announced? I wasn't looking for links about MB decisions.

[@suhayl5157]

This narrative is not accurate; manufacturers such as Freightliner do not just suddenly decide to stop production the way you put. what about production cycles and product planning? this takes years in the making.

[@TechDriveTV]

You've got a keen eye for the complexities of the automotive industry! Indeed, the gears of production and product planning grind much slower than my video might suggest. It's not like flipping a switch or canceling a Netflix subscription. Companies like Freightliner navigate through a sea of research, development, and strategy long before any changes hit the production line. It's a veritable chess game, with each move meticulously planned years in advance. Your comment is a valuable reminder that behind every headline, there's a labyrinth of decisions and timelines. Thanks for steering us towards a deeper appreciation of the intricate dance of automotive manufacturing!

great news for us!! we'll get our deliveries on time with normal Diesel trucks!!

Cheers to the diesel devotees! Your comment revs up the age-old debate between traditional diesel power and the electric new kid on the block.

There is no such announcement on the Frieghtliner website. They still show the vehicles available. In fact this video is the only source of this 'news'.

[@TechDriveTV]

It's all over.. maybe try expanding your sources.

[@starrionx1]

@@TechDriveTV So what are your sources? Because it's not 'all over'. There are two videos. No press releases, no news reports, and no official word.

[@joeashbubemma]

You really think a company is going to announce this when they still have inventory? Please tell me you're not that dumb. Even if it isn't true, corporations will liquidate inventory BEFORE they terminate a program, unless said "program" is publicly known to be losing money. Fuckerberg's "Metaverse" is a perfect example. Pumping billions into it, stocks plummeted. They announce a "scale back" to invest in AI, and we're at all time highs.

[@TechDriveTV]

Let me hold your hand since you obviusly arent capable of doing your own research... freightliner is now daimler AG who became apart of Mercedes Group in 2022. Mercedes is dramatically slowing their production in electric.. you can find hundreds of articles on this... heres one.. electrek.co/2024/02/22/mercedes-backtracks-ev-plans-gas-cars-2030s/@@starrionx1

@@TechDriveTV Slowing EV rollout does not equal halting production of existing vehicles at Frieghtliner. Nothing in that story or google results for Daimler support this story. And while Freightliner is part of Daimler, they're still doing business as Freightliner. Do you have an actual source?

If everything goes to EVs there's going to be a lot of people walking and deliveries will almost stop.

[@TechDriveTV]

Electric Avenue just hit a speed bump, didn't it? Your comment paints a picture of a future where our streets resemble a scene from an old Western-tumbleweeds rolling past as we all wait for a delivery that never comes.

(352, 3:58) Wrong symbol for the weight that the tractors can haul. It should be lb, not £ even though both are called pound. £ is for money, not weight.

Great news EV truck's suck

[@TechDriveTV]

It's true, the road to electrifying the freight industry has had its share of potholes. The recent shockwave from Freightliner might seem like a victory lap for EV skeptics.

need to change to hydrogen motors.
