Growing Regulatory Uncertainty May Prompt a Hybrid Revival
Decarbonizing the medium and heavy duty (MDHD) truck sector to meet the Paris Accords goals has spawned numerous technologies, both competing and complementary. While these technologies' long-term viability is becoming clearer, the role of hybrids has remained largely undiscussed. Current developments, such as potential regulatory changes and the imminent launch of several extended range EVs (EREVs), suggest that now may be a good time to revisit the value that hybridization offers the market.
