Logistics is getting more and more electrified, but there are still issues and challenges. Many companies desire to reduce their CO² emission and impact on the environment. Can Automotive Electrification of Logistics help to reach environmental impact as well as financial targets? What is the market status today? Who are the players? What is happening? And what is going to happen in the short and longer term?
