Containers are one of the most widely used solutions in international trade. They are often seen travelling on large cargo ships, but before that, they are transported by lorries. Consequently, road transport also plays an important role in shipping.Unfortunately, because they are so widespread, the amount of smog and pollution they produce is just too much. This is why we are talking about electric trucks. This is a new way of managing transport with an eye to the environment, but not only. So let's see how the impact of these new vehicles affects container transport costs.
