South African logistics firm Bakers SA recently deployed the first electric trucks to its fleet of more than a thousand vehicles.
Working with Stellenbosch-based EV charging and software company Zimi Charge, Bakers’ deployment points a potential future in South Africa in which planet-warming trucks are replaced with electric alternatives.
