Excerpt

The article compares the historical competition among video formats, such as VHS and Betamax, to the current race among alternative powertrains for heavy-duty vehicles. It highlights the uncertainty and risks for manufacturers and users in choosing the 'right horse' amidst a plethora of options like electric, hybrid, fuel cell, and gas-powered engines, as well as synthetic and biofuels. The author emphasizes the crucial role of politics in determining the success of these technologies and the importance of infrastructure development. The text explores the challenges and uncertainties faced by manufacturers and users in a rapidly evolving market, where the 'right' choice is not yet clear.
