I didn't thought about this before but a concrete truck is a great option for electrification. Since worksites need to be relatively close to concrete plants, range is not a concern. One of the bigger positives of replacing fuel based heavy vehicles with NEVs within city limits is that the air quality should improve substantially as a result.

I can't remember where I heard/viewed the comment about Ute's in the West having a reprieve and that petrol /diesel versions can remain indefinitely. Is anyone else aware of the story.

It's so annoying and anxious-inducing driving behind such heavy vehicles on the road. Just seeing all that smoke blowing to my car (to me..) I can almost visualise a tiny part of my lungs dying off with each breath I take. I hate that, and I can't wait for NEVs finally replacing these death vehicles
