Electrification of a diesel truck? In just a few minutes with the Revoy add-on

65% of freight transport emissions come from trucks and vans. A scary figure, right? A startup just decided to take the bull by the horns. Or rather, the towing truck. Let's see how the electrification of a diesel truck is possible in just a few minutes.

Revoy: the Robin Hood of electrification

Imagine being able to turn an old, smelly diesel truck into an eco-friendly hybrid as easily as changing the batteries in your remote control. This is more or less what Revoy, the protagonist of this article, proposes.

How does this magic on wheels work? It's simple: attach their device to your truck. Point. You have just created a hybrid. There is a sort of "electrical substitute" for the tractor. And there's more. When the battery runs out, you don't have to queue for hours at a charging station. No, gentlemen. Do a quick “swap” with a charged unit and you're back on the road before you can say the word “air pollution.”

But how much does this wonder cost?

Surprisingly, you won't have to sell a kidney. Revoy offers this solution at a fraction of the cost of a truck completely electric. And promising savings of up to 80% on fuel, it seems to be cost-effective. It's like getting a Tesla for the price of an electric bicycle (ok, maybe I'm exaggerating, but you get the idea).

Jokes aside: the business model is almost subscription economy. For a fixed sum you will have the gadget to place behind the tractor, and a fixed number of kilometers per month. If you want to know more, find it all here.

Hybridize that truck

With Revoy, the electrification of freight transport is no longer a mirage in the desert of pollution. It's here, it's real, and it's about to revolutionize the way we move goods. Next time you see a truck on the road, just to be safe, check to see if it has a strange appendage attached to the trailer. It could be the future passing right before your eyes.
