Electric Trucks * USA - Global Green Cars' G-3 to Start Around $25K
It seems more electric work trucks are taking to the streets than ever before, and with 2010 right around the corner
UT,USA -Truck Trend, by Benson Kong -September 2, 2009: -- Global Green Cars's 2010 G-3 plug-in electric truck will offer a working payload of 1000 pounds, a top speed of over 85 mph, and a range of 100 miles between charges on its advanced nickel-based batteries. The G-3's batteries are reportedly safer than lithium-based alternatives and will cost about $1 for a full recharge. Crash testing is expected to start January 2, with production to begin in late spring or early summer 2010. Prices should be about $25,000, which does not factor any federal or state incentives for the purchase of an alternatively-fueled vehicle... The G-3 was showcased at the Rocky Mountain Raceway in Utah this past weekend, where it worked as the lead pace car over a three-hour period without recharging. GGC will soon be holding public demos of the G-3 across the nation; the truck's next scheduled stop is in Kentucky...

As an alternative to the expense of converting to electric and yet still cutting emissions, air flow systems are also currently being modified in all types of vehicles so that the air will help burn more of the already existing fuel supply in an engine. The end results of more of the fuel being burned are of course, more power and less emissions exiting the engine to pollute the air.
For referrence, you can see a Califonia smog test of a 7-year old, stock, non-hybrid Honda Civic here that produces ZERO HCs, zero CO at 25mph and beautifully low NOx:
