e-truck
Part of speech: noun
Morphological type: derivation
Etymology: From e- + truck, as with e-bike and various other such terms.
Base: truck
Affixes: e-
Inflected forms:
form: e-trucks
pos: noun
tags: plural
Senses:
gloss: An electric truck: a motor truck whose propulsion is electric, especially one that is fully electric as opposed to hybrid electric.
pos: noun
examples: Daimler Truck is a leading maker of electric trucks, and DFDS [an international shipping and logistics company] is one of logistics' biggest e-truck customers, yet widespread adoption is a long way off.
E-truck makers typically start with a standard chassis from the likes of Ford Motor Co. or General Motors Co. Although those automakers are rolling out their own e-trucks, their transition has been slow, in part because such rigs are often less profitable than diesel versions. That leaves plenty of room for the upstarts, who fit the chassis with electric motors, battery packs and software.

examples: Electric vans are cheaper overall than diesel vehicles, according to a new study of the total cost to buy and operate them in Europe. So, it’s no surprise that a survey of van buyers in Europe, also published today, finds that most want to go electric. But the supply of e-van models is lacking, which is why they account for only 3% of sales — lagging far behind battery electric cars (9%). […] Over one-third (36%) of van fleets surveyed already have at least one electric van while almost another third (32%) plan to buy an e-van this year, according to the poll of 745 fleets across Europe by Dataforce for T&E. A further 16% are considering buying an e-van in the next five years.
