The shift to electric powered vehicles is on the rise as many auto makers now have hybrid or fully electric autos in their lineup. This trend is also making inroads on the heavy-duty truck side as well. Most OEMs are working in conjunction with electric motor and accessory suppliers to produce fully electric driven vehicles. One example of this collaboration is Volvo Trucks Schweiz working with Designwerk Group Ambofix AG. While in Norway, ASKO is working with bodybuilder LAGAB.
