With the recent first sales of the Tesla Semi, the company is making a big buzz. Not only is it great for Tesla, but it’s great to see companies like Pepsi and Frito-Lay switching their local and regional runs to electric. As charging infrastructure for electric trucks proliferates, and as versions of the Semi equipped for over-the-road trips come out, we’ll see more and more truck miles go from diesel to cleaner electric power.
The eActros LongHaul batteries boast a lengthy service life and more usable energy. At charging stations with an output of one megawatt, the battery packs can be charged from 20 to 80 percent in less than half an hour. Three battery packs offer a total capacity of 600 kWh, while two electric motors generate 400 kW continuously and over 600 kW at peak performance.
“We have had very good experiences in city logistics with the performance of BEV vehicles. It was therefore logical to take the next step — long-distance driving — together with Mercedes-Benz Trucks,” says Stefan Hohm, Chief Development Officer at Dachser.Volvo Trucks is expanding its electric truck offerings with the introduction of rigid versions of the Volvo FH, Volvo FM, and Volvo FMX. This makes it easier for transport companies to adopt electric vehicles in urban and regional areas.
They won’t only be capable, but they’ll be versatile. The new rigid trucks have a battery capacity between 180–540 kWh. This flexibility, together with the number of batteries applied to a truck, provides for a wide range of potential operations. A company could save money and weight for local runs with a smaller pack, or go for long-range over-the-road runs with over 500 kWh of battery storage.
