electric truck

Cordless cargo vehicle

An electric truck is a truck powered by electric motors and batteries rather than an internal combustion engine.

The term covers everything from pickup trucks to semi-trailers: The company is transitioning its delivery fleet to electric trucks.

Electric trucks are marketed as producing zero tailpipe emissions, though their environmental impact depends on how the electricity is generated.
