Taiwan: Taiwan Transport and Storage unveiled its first electric truck, manufactured by Volvo Trucks, at a ceremony in Taipei. The unit will transport cement for Taiwan Cement, marking the first use of electric vehicles for construction material transport in Taiwan, according to the Taipei Times.
The electric truck unit will help to reduce aggregate carbon emissions by 32%, according to TTS chairman Koo Kung-yi. "We believe that Taiwanese companies can effectively reduce Category III CO₂ emissions through the use of electric commercial vehicles," Kung-yi said.
