Semi Hybrid Diesel LH¤

Semi Trailer Truck - Long Haul Overview¤

The Heavy-Duty Truck used for Long-Haul journeys stands as a pillar of the transport sector, specially configured to transport large volumes of freight over relatively long distances. This category includes tractor/semitrailer combinations with more than four tires, used for operations over 320 km range.

Semi Trailer Truck Short-Haul Performance Metrics¤

  • Operational Range: Used with a maximum operational range of over 320 km.
  • Annual Performance (dannual): Boasting an annual performance capability of 274,000 km.
  • Load Capacity (nlpv): With a substantial average load capacity of 11.68 tonnes per vehicle.
  • Average Speed: Operating at an average speed of 95 km/h, optimizing delivery times for short-haul logistics 1.
  • Capacity Factor: A 35% capacity utilization factor is considered.
  • Reference Capacity: The derived reference capacity of 1,043.81 tonne-kilometers per hour (tkm/h).

The reference capacity is calculated as follows:

\[ ref_{capacity} = \dfrac{d_{annual} \cdot n_{lpv} \cdot average\\speed}{8760 \cdot 0.35} \]

This calculation method accounts for the annual distance, average load capacity, average speed, and the capacity utilization rate.

Hybrid Diesel¤

A hybrid vehicle integrates an internal combustion engine with an electric motor. Unlike plug-in hybrids, this type of vehicle relies on a battery and an electric motor to capture kinetic energy during vehicle operation.

The hybrid vehicle features a lithium battery that is smaller compared to those found in fully electric vehicles, aimed at decreasing fuel consumption. However, the increased weight of hybrid vehicles may lead to higher fuel use.
