This shows the commitment of automakers to ensure the adoption of sustainable production of work trucks and other vehicles.
2. Ford Motors
This renowned automaker from North America has undergone tremendous changes in the past five years regarding adopting sustainability. In 2018, Ford announced that it was investing $11 Billion in electric vehicle production and that by 2022 it would have released 40 new electric models to its customers. Fast forward to 2022, it has committed to invest $29 billion in the production of autonomous and electric vehicles, including work trucks, by 2025.

Toyota has two main focuses in sustainability adoption: battery durability and better battery utilization. It intends to develop four modes of electrification for its technologies, including battery-electric, hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and hydrogen fuel cells. In April last year, it announced its plan to invest $803 million to produce new electric models in its Indiana Plant. In the wake of a lack of concise announcements, motor experts have argued that its Tacoma model would be the first to get electrification in the United States.
4. General Motors
The Michigan-based automaker has also not been left behind in sustainability adoption. Last June last year, it committed to building 30 new all-electric work trucks by 2025, with approximately two-thirds of the vehicles reserved for North American customers. It also committed to investing $35 billion in EV and AV between 2020 and 2025 to accelerate the plans to build new battery cell-making plants in Ohio and Tennessee. Its Chevy Silverado truck is a replica of Ford's F-150 and has been among the popular sustainable fleet as of 2020.
