Tesla secures order for 2,500 electric Semi trucks

Tesla has landed a massive deal to supply 2,500 electric Class 8 trucks to a new shipping group called ZET SCALE. This single purchase represents the largest order for electric heavy-duty vehicles in U.S. history.

The alliance is led by Catalyst Mobility and the Smart Freight Centre. While Tesla is the primary manufacturer, the program also includes Kenworth, Volvo, and RIDE as secondary options for shipping companies to choose from.

To put this in perspective, this one deal nearly doubles the entire current count of battery-electric heavy-duty trucks operating on U.S. roads today. Looking ahead, the alliance has already set a long-term goal to deploy more than 10,000 electric trucks across the country. 🚀
