Bee’ah Orders 50 Tesla Semis to Middle East

An order for 50 Tesla Semis has been placed by UAE-based environmental and waste management company Bee’ah. The company says it is the first organization to order Tesla Semi trucks in the Middle East.

The trucks will primarily be used for waste collection and transportation, including transportation of materials for recovery. They will also add to Bee’ah’s fleet of more than 1,000, which includes vehicles that run on electricity, compressed natural gas, and bio diesel.

“We are extremely pleased to turn towards Tesla for a solution that enhances our leadership of sustainable practices in the region,” Bee’ah Chairman Salim Al Owais said in a release. “As a company that strives to be the best in our field, we only work with partners that we consider to be the best in theirs.nThrough this latest investment, we hope to demonstrate to others the value and importance of seeking out better, more viable ways of achieving our business aims, all for the greater good of our communities.”





Other major companies that have pre-ordered the Tesla Semi include UPS, PepsiCo, Walmart, J.B. Hunt, DHL, and Sysco.

The Semi is slated to go into production in 2019 and will have a base price of $150,000.

If there ain't coming a hyperloop between China and Europe and containerships will become electric, north Africa and the middle east could become uncredebly rich in no time with solar energy very soon.

If they can get it all financed perhaps. But how long to earn back your panels, even at the equator?

Panels are uncredebly cheap right now, even in Rotterdam you will get your money back within 10 years

I don't do debt. So I will save money after 10 years. When would I be rich?

You'll probably never get rich, but eventually you will probably end up less poor

I wish that upon Africa. World bank should offer non-strangle credit to build some crazy intercontinental solar farms.

Transport of electricity also costs money, also note that earthplates might make it harder to make a cable between Europe and Africa.
Selling electricity to containerships should be easely possible somehow

Container ships need less in energy than they carry goods. But it's a start.
At Gibraltar the crossing is not so long.
Tesla used to have a solution to power transmission over distance. He didn't explain it to others very well.

But they do need to travel 10.000 miles and more, move day and night, so once they need to refuel, they can suck up quite a bunch of energy, green energy can probably be charged up the cheapest in north Africa and that's exactly the place many ships travel around.
