Karl,
As a side note how safe are these batteries in a crash? That's a huge amount of electric capacity to be hauled around on a freight transport vehicle. I've seen too many 18 wheelers flipped over or wrapped over guard rails in the winter along the I-80 corridor. Emergency sirens go off at least 2 times a night.
We are equipped with equipment and supplies to handle fuel spills and potential fires/environmental release from current trucks in accidents. What are the implications to control the scene, however, if one of these freight trucks with such huge batteries catch fire?
