“Yes We Can:” Andrew Forrest Mocks Murdoch Tabloid Stories Dismissing Electric Trucks
Billionaire mining magnate Andrew Forrest publicly challenged the Daily Telegraph’s claim that electric semi‑trailers are a distant “green dream.” He posted the tabloid’s front page alongside a photo of Fortescue’s upcoming Liebherr T‑264 battery‑electric haul truck, asserting that multiple trailers could be powered by a single unit.

The dispute underscores a broader shift as Australian firms and the government accelerate heavy‑vehicle electrification.
