The new plug-in hybrid electric cab — capable of running at least 70 miles
on a single electric charge

70 miles!!!

is that really enough

It's pretty good for a PHEV. To stay on the battery alone, it will
obviously need to recharge periodically during the day.


but which will have a back-up petrol engine —

If it has a back up engine it isn't zero emissions, is it?

It may have a zero emissions (battery-only) mode for use in the most
polluted areas. The petrol engine would be used, if needed, to
recharge the battery outside the zero emissions zone.
