Interesting article link about electrification of specific heavy duty role, city route garbage trucks. Limited miles per day, regeneration of electric power using a turbine and charge regen through brakes.

Here in the States, Frito Lay is starting to operate an all electric medium duty product delivery fleet. Saw one of their EV's making a delivery at the neighborhood supermarket a week or two ago. About a 20' box truck affair. Battery boxes looked to be mounted on the frame rails on both sides. Cabover style, couldn't tell if it used motors on front, rear, or both axles.
