Why focus on Volvo & Daimler? These #IdleGiants already collaborate:
🤝 Formed Cellcentric for hydrogen fuel cells
🔧 Built a software-defined vehicle platform
🚛 Explored charging networks for electric trucks
But why focus on hydrogen & hybrids when battery-electric is the real solution?
MAN just announced its LAST diesel engine. Meanwhile, @VolvoTrucks is investing $700M in a new diesel plant in Mexico. Same industry, different vision. Come on, Volvo—meet us in the electric truck future. #IdleGiants
NEW @CARBONTRACKER REPORT: #IdleGiants Volvo & Daimler have BILLIONS in cash but aren't investing in EVs. Meanwhile, BYD sold 450% more electric HDVs in 2024. Will they wake up before the electric transportation transition leaves them behind?
🔗 Read the report here:
At CES 2025, @volvogroup.bsky.social promised zero emissions. But in the U.S., they invest in diesel, oppose clean truck rules, & price EVs out of reach. Advocates demand action. Clean trucks can’t wait.

Volvo & Daimler:
2025 called—it’s asking for progress.
The planet is hurting. Electric trucks are here. The tech works. It’s time to lead change and leave diesel where it belongs: in the past.

Switching to electric trucks could cut emissions by 95%! 🌱
