Truck Hybrid Diesel SH¤

Medium-Duty Truck - Short Haul Overview¤

The Medium-Duty Truck for Short-Haul operations represents a class of robust vehicles engineered for transporting substantial loads over moderate distances. These trucks are single units with more than four tires, designed with a maximum range of up to 320 km, making them ideal for regional distribution tasks.

Medium-Duty Truck Short-Haul Performance Metrics¤

  • Operational Range: Capable of covering distances up to 320 km, tailored for short-haul logistics.
  • Annual Mileage (dannual): The truck class maintains a yearly operational distance of 26,600 km.
  • Load Capacity (nlpv): With an average load capacity of 0.98 tonnes per vehicle.
  • Capacity Factor: A 10% capacity utilization factor is applied, as detailed by Schnidrig1.
  • Reference Capacity: Achieving a reference capacity of 29.76 tonne-kilometers per hour (tkm/h), these trucks are optimally configured for regional distribution networks.

The formula used to calculate the reference capacity is as follows:

\[ ref_{capacity} = \dfrac{d_{annual} \cdot n_{lpv}}{8760 \cdot 0.10} \]

This equation considers the annual distance covered, the average load capacity, and the capacity utilization rate, emphasizing the trucks’ utility and efficiency in short-haul transportation tasks.

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.
