Truck Electric LH¤
Medium-Duty Truck - Long Haul Overview¤
The Medium-Duty Truck - Long Haul category includes single-unit vehicles with more than four tires, designed for substantial range capabilities exceeding 320 km. These trucks play a pivotal role in nationwide logistics, capable of handling significant cargo loads over long distances.
Medium-Duty Truck Performance Metrics¤
- Operational Range: Designed for long-haul operations, these trucks have a range of over 320 km.
- Annual Mileage (dannual): They record an annual mileage of 37,000 km, demonstrating their reliability and endurance in logistics operations.
- Average Load (nlpv): With an average load capacity of 3.27 tonnes per vehicle, they are integral to the transportation of substantial goods across the country.
- Capacity Factor: Based on a 10% capacity utilization factor, as cited by Schnidrig1, this reflects the operational efficiency considering loading times and route distances.
- Reference Capacity: The calculated reference capacity of 138.12 tonne-kilometers per hour (tkm/h) underscores their strategic importance in logistics and distribution networks.
The reference capacity is computed utilizing the formula:
Where cp represents the capacity utilization percentage. This calculation takes into account the annual mileage, average load capacity, and the capacity utilization factor, highlighting the efficiency and utility of Medium-Duty Trucks in long-haul logistics.
Battery Electrical Vehicle¤
A 100% electric vehicle is powered solely by electricity. This electricity is used to supply an inverter with direct current which, using the principle of electromagnetism, converts electricity into mechanical energy and moves the vehicle. As the vehicle is not connected to the electrical grid while on the move, it is necessary to ensure its power supply by other means. To do this, BEVs store electricity in an on-board rechargeable battery.
Among the battery types presented, lithium batteries are the ones found in electric vehicles currently on the market. Lithium batteries offer the ability to store more electricity (i.e., have greater energy density) in a smaller volume than traditional batteries, such as lead-acid and nickel-metal-hydride batteries. Lithium batteries are also lighter than conventional batteries.
