Tesla recently created a new “Heavy Duty Trucking” department which will oversee the development and production of the Tesla Semi and possibly other electric haulers in the future.

Tesla’s President of Automotive Jerome Guillen, was announced as the new President of Heavy Duty Trucking by the electric car maker. "Trucking has been a long-time passion of Mr. Guillen," reports Clean Technica. In the past, Guillen served as General Manager of the trucking company Freightliner. And Jerome’s prior responsibilities at Tesla included being “overall leader for the Tesla Truck program” as a VP in the Trucks division of the company.

About two weeks ago,Tesla informed the SEC of Guillen’s new responsibilities in a recent 8K filing. The public document notes, “As Tesla prepares to enter the critical heavy trucks market for the first time, Mr. Guillen will now leverage his extensive background in this industry to focus on and lead all aspects of the Tesla Semi program, including the related charging and servicing networks.”

Recently Tesla released a teaser video of Tesla Semi and several spy shorts have surfaced on social media.

Tesla has also made several changes to the design of the Semi Truck that showcase steady progress with the truck as it closes in on production. When that time comes, Elon Musk has noted that the Semi will be produced at the automaker’s Gigafactory Nevada. All of these signs point of the end of 2021 debut of Tesla Semi, which Torque News reported today based on the press release from PepsiCo to debut 15 Semi trucks in late 2021 from Tesla, reports Electrek.
