Customers are starting to place orders for Tesla Inc.’s new all-electric Semi truck, with retail giant Walmart Stores Inc. preordering for its U.S. and Canadian units.

“We have a long history of testing new technology – including alternative-fuel trucks – and we are excited to be among the first to pilot this new heavy-duty electric vehicle,” Walmart spokesman Kory Lundberg said. “We believe we can learn how this technology performs within our supply chain, as well as how it could help us meet some of our long-term sustainability goals, such as lowering emissions.”
