European and American companies actively develop pure electric heavy trucks

The research and development of China's pure electric heavy trucks has just begun, and foreign companies have started to develop. Europe and the United States are actively exploring the development of pure electric trucks. Pure electric heavy trucks are a focus of their attention. Some commercial vehicle companies have already invested in research, development and testing of electric heavy trucks.

Renault electric heavy truck debut UN Climate Conference <br> <br> December 7 this year, Renault took part in the 21th United Nations Climate Change Conference held in Paris, France. Renault brought two clean energy heavy trucks to showcase their research results in addressing climate change. The first model is Renault's 16-ton pure electric “D truck”, which is currently undergoing high-speed logistics and transport testing. This time it was exhibited at the 21st UN Climate Change Conference and is part of the test. In fact, Renault's test of "D Truck" began a year ago. The second truck, called Maxity, is a 4.5-ton pure electric truck that is being tested by the French postal service.

The power source of both trucks is a hydrogen fuel cell. After full power, the driving range can reach 200 kilometers. Renault’s exhibit was intended to emphasize their zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell technology. Renault said that the new trucks that use hydrogen fuel cells have extended the driving range of previous battery-powered trucks and also shortened charging time.

Renault said that although, in general, electric heavy truck technology is not suitable for the current transport industry, there are also certain specific markets for electric trucks, such as shipping terminals. The most important thing is that the price of electric vehicle batteries is declining and it is estimated that by 2020 it will drop to US$100 per kilowatt-hour.

Clean and efficient transportation is the trend of truck development. Renault Truck R&D department stated that it will continue to develop pure electric heavy trucks and test them in actual operation. The goal of Renault Trucks is to provide users with a cost-effective, zero-emissions solution by 2020.

BMW pure electric trucks Munich <br> <br> put into operation this year, July 7, from a 40-tonne electric truck into operation in Munich, Germany. The pure electric heavy truck was produced by a BMW and SCHERM logistics company in accordance with a model of the Dutch truck manufacturer Terberg. The charging time is 3 to 4 hours, and you can travel 100 kilometers after full charge. This means that, theoretically, it can work continuously for a whole day without charging in the middle. This heavy truck is responsible for transporting auto parts from the logistic center of the company to BMW's production plant, and it has to make 8 round trips a day.

BMW said that the power of this truck is entirely derived from renewable energy, so there is neither particulate emissions nor carbon dioxide emissions, compared to diesel-powered heavy trucks, which can reduce CO2 emissions by 11.8 tons per year. "BMW is committed to reducing the emission of harmful substances. This pure electric heavy duty truck that is put into operation is a strong signal for us to achieve sustainable development in the city," said Hermann Borg, head of the BMW Group Munich production plant. "We are proud to be the first car manufacturer in Europe to transport goods on public roads with pure electric heavy trucks."

According to Jürgen Med, head of the BMW Group's logistics department, the operation of this pure electric truck is also a test of the feasibility of transporting pure electric trucks. "We used this truck to test and collect data on the use of pure electric trucks for city logistics during its operation."

However, there are also doubts about BMW's pure electric heavy truck. “The operation of a pure electric heavy truck is not practical because the battery mileage problem has not been solved,” said Tim Urquitt, an auto industry analyst at IHS (a well-known American information consulting company). “If the next decade, we are There is a major breakthrough in battery technology, so that the use of pure electric heavy trucks is possible in large scale. However, at present, when this driving range is only 100 kilometers, it is not practical to operate pure electric heavy trucks."

Scania testing electric trucks <br> <br> from the Swedish Government on its electric highway "more energy efficient built in 2030, non-fossil fuel fleet" goal one step closer. On June 9, the Swedish Transport Authority approved and supported the "Gavle" electric highway project. As planned, Scania will test its pure electric truck on this electric highway in February 2016.

According to requirements, power transmission cables were installed on the test airframe, and the pantograph was installed on the top of a pure electric truck in Scania. Power was transmitted from the cable to the truck through the pantograph. The test route is along Route 16, from Gaiou to the city of Stollvik, where Scania will carry the goods on board.

Scania has been conducting electrified truck tests since 2013. Scania said that the use of "electric roads" to allow heavy trucks to use electricity, both to meet the needs of truck intercity transportation, but also reduce 80-90% of fossil fuel emissions. Scania collaborated with the Swedish Traffic Management Agency and the Swedish Energy Agency to complete the project, show it to industry and academia, and assess the feasibility of building “electric highways” in the transport system to reduce fossil energy use.

TransPower electric heavy truck demonstration projects <br> <br> won in March this year, the US clean energy vehicles and stationary energy storage technologies and products supplier TransPower company announced that it has achieved a major breakthrough in battery technology and electric heavy trucks.

TransPower won a California-based Energy Commission (CEC) nearly $9 million electric truck demonstration project with four battery-powered heavy trucks. The four pure electric trucks use the chassis of IWC. In addition to the engine, cooling system and other components, electronic drive systems and batteries are also installed. “We drove the four electric-only heavy trucks, from San Diego to Los Angeles-Long Beach, for a total of 177 kilometers, with no need to recharge halfway.” Trans-Power CEO Mike Simon said, “In the past year, these four The truck carried out more than 10 driving trials of 128-193 kilometers. These tests prove that our electric trucks can safely operate with a 36-ton trailer."

TransPower said that although these trucks have already been put into use, the company has never stopped its further development. In the future, Transpower will strive to reduce the weight of the vehicle by 907 kilograms, which will increase its driving ability to 193 to 241 kilometers.

TransPower’s pure electric trucks have been operating well for several months. In response, the California Energy Commission said it will fund their truck research. In addition, TransPower received funding from the US Department of Energy (DOE), the South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD) and the Los Angeles-Long Beach Port. These funds help TransPower continue its research and manufacturing of pure electric heavy trucks. At the end of September this year, Trans-Power expanded the fleet of pure electric heavy trucks from four to seven.

TransPower said that although the electric heavy truck cannot be qualified for long-distance transportation due to limited power output, it is impossible to replace diesel power trucks, but relying on pure electric power to promote energy conservation and emission reduction is still the future direction of development. TransPower believes that these successful trials will give them greater investment in zero-emissions heavy trucks. "Our achievements laid the foundation for the research of a larger-scale pure electric heavy truck fleet," said Mike Simon.

Balqon development of pure electric solutions for heavy trucks <br> <br> August 1 last year, the US electric drive systems, lithium battery systems and heavy-duty electric truck developer Balqon company announced that its new models, "Mir M100" market, which is A zero-emission, pure-electric road truck for the transportation of goods within the city.
