Reverse Course: Battery-powered big rigs could haul the future of trucking

People are taking steps big and small to move the dial on climate change. This week, in Here & Now's Reverse Course series, senior editor Peter O’Dowd and producer Chris Bentley take listeners across the country for a closer look at projects designed to make an impact.

This episode is about how battery-powered big rigs could haul the future of trucking.
