92merc Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 I love quotes like these... " Neuron EV claims it "sets new standards in clean energy vehicles" by designing TORQ to abolish greenhouse gas emissions ..." Uhhh, where is the electricity coming from? Nuclear is great, until Fukushima. Solar better. Wind has it's issues. But the wording of "abolish" just strikes me as bad. In reality, you're just transferring from one type of pollution to another. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomcat68 Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 That also looks like it is more likely to get stuck under an overpass than a normal tractor. Why is it so tall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is it so tall? I think it’s the same size as the trailer and other aerodynamic cabs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All good points, but a modern "fossil fuel" (natural gas or coal) electric production plant can be regulated to produce less emissions than the 1,000's of ICE vehicles that would be taken off the road and replaced by EV's, so the net effect would be less pollution. Easier and more effective to control and regulate one point of pollution that is stationary than 1000's of points pollution that are moving around and revving up and down or idling.

MY93SHO Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Abolish means "put an end to". I don't ever see pollution being ended, just reduced. The greenest person on the planet still pollutes in some way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't want your grandkids pissing on your grave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
