Electric Powered to Dominate the Market – By Power Source

According to Nitesh, Research Manager at 6Wresearch, Malaysia has a lot of people who want to buy electric trucks, especially for use in warehouses and for clean energy projects. Businesses like battery-powered models because they are more cost-effective, require less upkeep, and are better for the environment.
