They announced roll-out in five months! Any infrastructure preparations ( like CNG charging stations near truck depots) in your area?
(they promised 55 strategically positioned CNG stations).
EDIT: Press release says first prototype will roll out in december, so its too soon for CNG stations. I should have read more carefully.
--------------
One more: I probably don't understand it correctly. They claim more than 7000 pre-orders worth of $ 2.3 billion. Does it mean that unit price is around $320 000? (2.3 billion div 7000). It seems quite high to me. What is price tag for new class 8 truck?
