VW’s big journey from Beetle to all-electric and fuel cell trucks
Our family had a Volkswagen Super Beetle in the ’70s and ’80s in Southern California. It was a fun car: lime green, fuel injected, four speed manual, cool frunk, strangely inviting vinyl interior scent, hand crank front windows and pop-out windows in the rear. No A/C, but then again we really didn’t need it in […]

Why maintenance KPIs matter
Tracking costs down to the asset level not only gives you an idea of which trucks/OEMs and models are performing the best, but it also can give you an idea about which of your locations are top performers.

CARB not testing NOx when and where it counts
In 1811, history was made as the recently christened New Orleans steamboat flew along at 12mph down the entire stretch of the Ohio River and onto the Mississippi River where following a 2,000-mile run it arrived in New Orleans in a baffling time of 14 days. Until then, it was current, sails, poles, paddles and […]

Mandatory electric truck and van law invites plenty of challenges
A tried and true axiom comes to mind when considering California’s now-codified plan to phase out tried and true powertrains: don’t put all of your eggs in one basket. In this case, the Golden State is banking on zero emission vehicles to seriously reduce air pollution. In what the California Air Resources Board is calling […]

The automakers that Twitter built?
Never a dull moment. One click and the world can seemingly make you or break you. What else can account for Nikola’s double valuation to $27 billion in a few days following its IPO last Thursday? The automaker that’s never sold an auto is now worth more than Ford and FCA. Other than selling T-shirts, […]

Elon’s world: Sell the houses and get some freedom
Strange days indeed. It wasn’t that long ago that Elon Musk tweeted that he was a socialist. Keep in mind that he posted that while he was very much the golden child of California and riding wave after wave of federal and state subsidies to support the production of Teslas that he and his supporters […]

Man travels across the country to buy another Titan XD diesel
If you’ve ever been “…standin’ on the corner in Winslow, Arizona…” then you know that across the street from the famous Eagles’ landmark—which includes a flatbed Ford by the way—is a souvenir shop called, appropriately enough, Standin’ on the Corner. It was there that I was reminded of the importance of pickup allegiance. The conversation […]

Grab the masks: pandemic hits home
Hey Dad. Can we go to the junk yard this weekend? It’s great hearing that question from my teenage son. We’ve had some fun trips to our local salvage yard checking out trucks and cars while fishing around for parts for a project or two. But with the coronavirus creeping around, I told him it’s […]

Time for trucks to muscle-up more than ever
The headlines are grim and surreal, like something out of a strange, apocalyptic movie. A global pandemic brought on by the novel coronavirus is shutting down businesses, schools, sporting events and trade shows and—as of today—causing the DOW to sink below 20,000. But it’s not shutting down life. Far from it. Thanks to the men […]

Vehicle ownership ban seriously wrong
Discouraging vehicle ownership, or even calling for its end, is nothing new but the notion has been gaining more traction in the ‘emissions are everything’ era particularly when coupled with fears of over-population. Essentially, if government entities and/or companies own all vehicles they can maintain tight control on vehicle distribution, usage, earnings and emissions. It’s […]

Surprised? New diesel technology lowers emissions even further
When I started writing at Hard Working Trucks four years ago, diesel was under heavy attack in the mainstream news brought on largely by Volkswagen’s Dieselgate scandal. Even today, while searching the word ‘diesel’ on Google, nine of the top 10 news stories were negative with some headlines condemning the fuel as dirty and destined […]

Electric pickup battles begin as Ford exec swipes back at Tesla following F-150 tow challenge
The video is very telling, if you know what to look for. Tesla CEO Elon Musk recently tweeted a video showing his newly unveiled Cybertruck pulling a Ford F-150 uphill in a bumper-to-bumper towing battle. The video was also shown during last week’s bungled unveiling in California which left Cybertruck with two busted windows. Anyone […]
