Diesel Dies A Decade Earlier: Europe's Seven Largest Commercial Truck Makers Agree To End ICE Production By 2040

Europe’s seven largest commercial truck makers have jointly agreed to end the sale of diesel-engined trucks by 2040. Instead, Daf, Daimler, Ford, Iveco, Man, Scania, and Volvo will switch focus to hydrogen fuel cell and battery-electric vehicles, allowing them to achieve their zero-emissions goals a full decade earlier than previously planned.

I know it seems far off still, but it has just moved 10 years earlier than previously thought was possible, and further breakthroughs in battery technology may even move it still closer.
