Truck component manufacturers insist that electric commercial trucks is still in the cards for the future, but when they penetrate the market remains unclear.<\/p>\n

Heavy Duty Aftermarket Dialogue kicked off a week devoted to the heavy-duty aftermarket in Dallas in late January with a session titled \u00ab\u00a0The Real-World: A Global Perspective.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n

Rick Dauch, CEO of Delphi Technologies, and Jim Kamsickas, chairman, CEO, and president of Dana, shared their thoughts on a range of subjects, but spent much of their time talking about vehicle electrification, reports Heavy Duty Trucking.<\/p>\n

Kamsickas said Dana \u201chas gone all in on electrification.\u00a0\u00bb But he added that\u00a0\u201cwe are energy-source agnostic, so we can do powertrain for ICE [internal combustion engines],\u00a0hydrogen, and electric.\u201d He told audience members that they need to begin to participate in the electric truck arena \u201cat least from the learning side of the business. The mechanical piece is still needed, but you have to build on software capabilities and understand the vehicle integration.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dauch said\u00a0the next three to five years will be marked by \u201cgenerational changes\u201d for the global transportation industry. Many countries are facing stricter emission standards. Dauch said Europeans can\u2019t meet upcoming continental\u00a0diesel standards, so they are moving to natural gas and then electric. He was quick to add that the ICE engine is not going away. While 95% of trucks are diesel, cities will move to electric\u00a0as near-zero and zero-emissions zones develop.<\/p>\n

However, he said, the transition \u201cwill not happen in your career unless you are in your 20s or 30s.\u201d<\/p>\n

Full electric trucks are not the only option for the future, according to Kamsickas.\u00a0\u201cWe have been doing hydrogen fuel cells for 20 years, but it has not taken off.\u201d He is confident it will happen \u2013 but not\u00a0for 10 to 15 years. \u201cFull hydrogen is the end game,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

When asked about the impact of electric trucks on the aftermarket, Dauch said, there should not be an immediate impact \u201cbecause [they’re] not moving that fast to pure electric.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n
