There's a whole new vehicle technology out there - electric vehicles. When you're in the market for a new or new-to-you vehicle a question arises. Is a battery electric vehicle (BEV) right for you? This presentation looks at the pluses and minuses of fully electric vehicles. Amid the flood of information and disinformation out there, we'll pick out some of the more important things you need to know about BEVs. Speaker: Tom Moffat Tom Moffat is a retired Information Technology Manager, where he spent lots of time investigating new technologies. Prior to landing in the computer field, he worked in a large variety of industries, including oil and gas, mining and tax assessing for the Canada Revenue Agency. Since retiring, he's been following his passions, such as novel writing, presenting concerts with the Lethbridge Folk Club, travel, and exploring the new world of electric vehicles.

Matt Soule is the CEO and Co-founder of Parallel Systems. Parallel Systems is re-imagining how goods can be transported via rail by building automated battery-electric freight rail vehicles. These vehicles resemble box cars that can drive independently and form on-the-fly connections with each other to create mini trains. According to Matt, the goal is not to upend existing rail freight use cases but to rethink what's possible on current rail infrastructure to address use cases traditionally managed by trucking. Before founding Parallel Systems, Matt spent 13 years at SpaceX as an engineering leader in avionics. Parallel Systems has raised around $50 million from investors, including Anthos Capital and Congruent Capital. The conversation begins with a 101 primer on railways, a topic not previously covered on the show.In this episode, we cover: [2:31] Matt's background in rocket engineering[6:14] Energy efficiency: rail vs. trucks[7:31] History of US rail transportation[9:22] Rail industry ownership and subsidies[11:21] Rail transportation's environmental impact[14:44] Rail's challenges, especially for short trips[17:23] Industries using rail transport[18:53] Rail for non-critical and luxury use cases[23:05] Overview of Parallel Systems' self-assembling trains[28:37] Benefits of battery electrification in rail[31:21] Cost comparison: Parallel Systems vs. traditional rail and trucking[34:14] Current pilots and safety considerations[39:08] Expansion plans for new geographies[40:29] Business model: selling vehicles to railroads[44:08] Future of locomotives in the rail industryEpisode recorded on July 30, 2024 (Published on Aug 22, 2024) Get connected with MCJ: Cody Simms X / LinkedInMCJ Podcast / Collective / YouTube*If you liked this episode, please consider giving us a review!

In the three months to March 31 petrol electric hybrid vehicles (or HEV's) andbattery electric vehicles (BEV's) continue to gain sales traction however HEVsremain the more popular choice representing nearly 12 percent of the market. Onthe other hand, sales of pure electric BEV's in the quarter reached just 8.7percent share. Plug in hybrid vehicles or PHEV's are clearly not in favour andonly gained 1.17 percent of the market. In the last 12 months we've seen anumber of new battery electric BEV's reach our market putting pressure on pricesand most are now offering substantial discounts and bonuses to gain salestraction. Just where the total electrified market will reach is still anyone's guess,but it's clear hybrids are seen as the best compromise for now.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

That's the message in a certain way of the very existence of companies like Forum Mobility, around for just a couple years as a vehicle-charging-services and equipment leasing company. Company regional director Ron Hunt leads the podcast with that very notion, sounding like many an owner-operator in wait-and-see mode around electric-drive tech and battery-charging-infrastructure development. Hunt's a veteran of the trucking world who got involved with electric-truck start-up Xos Trucks some time back. Yet what he learned led him to the charging-infrastructure side, in part given absolutely huge barriers that exist to any widespread adoption of electric Class 8s. On October 25 we published the anchor story in a series around electric-drive-power realities, in which Alex Lockie unveiled and contextualized Overdrive readers' views on the current state of electrification as it relates the specific needs of their mostly OTR businesses: https://www.overdriveonline.com/equipment/article/15544337/teslas-semi-may-blow-past-diesels-uphill-but-truckers-see-limits Putting it quite succinctly, here's how one owner-operator commenter in some ways summed up current views on the nature of quite literally all battery-electric Class 8 technology as it relates to bedrock operational feasibility OTR: "It's not going to work, the power grid can't handle it, and the trucks don't go far enough on a charge." Hunt and his colleagues at the Forum Mobility company aim to help on the grid front, and well realize any “electric revolution” will be a good long time in coming to trucking, even port drayage where they're specializing. It is certainly growing fast if electric Class 8 tractors running in California still only number in the low three digits, Ron Hunt emphasized. Port drayage in the state is where those units are most prominent, for good reason. The California Air Resources Board has done everything it can to really make the market there, with an end-of-year deadline for dray haulers to register their diesels within CARB's system. And as of the first of the year, if lawsuits don't derail this particular deadline (a little more on that in the podcast, and here: https://www.overdriveonline.com/regulations/article/15636769/california-trucking-association-seeks-injunction-of-diesel-truck-ban ), any truck registered to work California ports must be a “zero emissions vehicle” – we'll use that ZEV shorthand a bit, though no manufactured product in today's world is truly “zero emissions." Forum Mobility is aiming nonetheless to be a power provider with subscription-based charging access to sites in both Southern and Northern California specifically built with drayage trucks in mind. They're also combining electric truck-lease services with those charging-power subscriptions for those who want to pursue that kind of model, as they build a planned six facilities over the next couple years. Today on the podcast, excerpts from a talk with Ron Hunt and two other Forum reps about how the business got its start and just where it's planning to go to serve drayage haulers in California, and beyond. Another related element of the series is this feature about Hight Logistics, Forum Mobility's partner small fleet now running five electric trucks in SoCal ports leased through Forum: https://www.overdriveonline.com/equipment/article/15546421/small-fleet-owner-predicts-longterm-roi-with-batteryelectric

Honda has just pulled the wraps off its first dedicated battery-electric crossover SUV, and we'll have all the details about it. Our special guest this week is Jonathan Rivers, who is manager of product information at American Honda. Host Jack Nerad had the chance to sit with him for a behind-the-scenes briefing at a secret location in Southern California. Honda is basing its first all-electric SUV on a General Motors platform the Prologue shares with the upcoming Chevrolet Blazer EV. But the Prologue presents itself as a Honda through and through. A long look at a pre-production version of the crossover makes it clear that Honda designers and engineers worked hard to make it their own. The 2024 Prologue will offer the choice of front-drive or all-wheel-drive. The single-motor EX and Touring trims will be front-drive, while the dual-motor EX, Touring, and Elite models are all-wheel-drive. The two-motor all-wheel-drive models will deliver 288 horsepower and 333 pound-feet of torque. Honda hasn't revealed the horsepower and torque ratings of the front-drive models. All Prologues will be fitted with an 85 kWh lithium-ion battery pack that will offer up to 300 miles on a charge. Using GM's Ultium batteries, the Prologue can use DC fast charging at rates up to 155 kW. Honda hasn't announced charge times but it says the Prologue's battery pack can add 65 miles of range in about 10 minutes using a DC fast charger. The interior is pure Honda, including the brand's newest Google-based infotainment system. Two hot but affordable sports models take center stage in our road test segment. Co-Host Chris Teague puts the 2024 Acura Integra Type S through its paces in the challenging conditions of rural Maine. Host Jack Nerad did the same with the Toyota GR86 10th Anniversary Premium Edition in the urban jungle of Southern California. In this week's news, the fuel economy rules proposed by the Biden Administration could add $3,000 to the price of the average car by 2032, according to information just released by a growing list of carmakers fighting against the new rules. We'll have the details along with our take on the situation. About half of electric vehicle owners say they will buy a particular type of vehicle the next time they buy one. Their answers could surprise you. We'll tell you what they plan to buy in this episode. Here's another good question we'll talk about this week: Do self-driving cars pose a danger to pedestrians? The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration seems to think so, and we'll tell you more about their recent investigations. America on the Road is brought to you by Driving Today.com, Mercury Insurance, YourTestDriver.com, and EMLandsea.com , the publisher of Nerad's latest book, Dance in the Dark, which is available HERE on Amazon.com

Battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) are making the transition from early adopters to the mass market. This means manufacturers need to consider pricing, while also ensuring residual values (RVs) are protected. Dr Christof Engelskirchen, chief economist at Autovista Group and Viktor Irle, sales director at EV-volumes.com, examine the latest market developments with Autovista24 editor Tom Geggus. The trio discuss Tesla's pricing tactics, wider industry trends and used-car market implications.

It's easy enough to buy a battery-electric truck, but fleets are being forced to wait up to two years for their chargers. Site design, permitting, and construction take forever. Matt Horton, CEO of Voltera Power, talks to Jim Park on HDT Talks Trucking on how fleets can navigate these waters. Voltera develops charging facilities for light, medium and heavy vehicles. Horton says the upfront costs of developing charging facilities are sidelining some fleets. Others just don't have the resources to wade through the bureaucratic swamp and get shovels in the ground. Horton discusses the challenges, and offers advice on how to get your BEV up and running as quickly as possible: Why are we pushing so hard to electrify right now? Why is infrastructure such a problem? Charging deserts Getting power to the wheels Is grid capacity allocated on a first come, first served basis? How much energy is 5 megawatts? Is the cost of power, including infrastructure, comparable to diesel? How far off is a true public charging network?

In a previous edition of Overdrive Radio, News Editor Matt Cole dug into the American Transportation Research Institute's close look at the life-cycle emissions associated with the production and operation of diesel, battery-electric and hydrogen-powered trucks. As noted in the very title of that past episode, the research in some ways cut through the politics and PR that surrounds electric-vehicle technology, showing such vehicles would be no true "zero emissions" panacea when production-associated demands are considered, particularly for battery-electric trucks: https://www.overdriveonline.com/overdrive-radio/podcast/15292003/how-politics-and-pr-cloud-zero-emissions-trucks-reality In today's edition, Cole talks with Jeff Short, ATRI VP, about follow-up research that poses something of a counterfactual on the way toward throwing more cold-hard reality on top of the politics and PR around vehicle electrification. If the entirety of the U.S. vehicle fleet, from owner-operators' heavy tractor-trailers on down to passengers cars, were to suddenly be transitioned to battery-electric, what level of electric power generation would it take? What new materials demands would be required to make all those batteries? What, fundamentally, would the implications be for truckers' operational realities (including the hours of service) and the infrastructure needs to support them? As Cole notes at the top of the edition, that infrastructure would necessarily include a whole lot of new electrified parking spaces. "If every truck has to stop and charge," he said, "obviously you've got to have a charger pretty much at every parking spot across the country, and there's already a parking shortage." Further, if every tractor out there had to stop to charge on the regular for hours at a time, "that parking shortage is only going to look a whole lot worse."

Electric vehicles are widely known to be the environmentally friendly alternative to internal combustion-based cars.   But there are skeptics who argue that EVs actually have a larger carbon footprint than nonelectric vehicles.  The argument is that the manufacturing and disposal of vehicle batteries is very carbon intensive.  They also point to the reliance on coal […]

The 2023 Nissan Ariya crossover SUV is the long-awaited production model based on a battery-electric concept that was first displayed in 2019 at the Tokyo Motor Show. The Ariya's American launch was postponed until late 2022, based on COVID-19 concerns. And with that Nissan lost what could have been a strong competitive edge. In the interim, several other automakers have introduced new crossover EVs, leaving Nissan to play catch up. But having driven the all-new Ariya we can say with assurance that the vehicle is all it should be to compete in the segment, and a whole lot more. With coupe-like exterior style and an innovative and simply beautiful interior, the Nissan Ariya seems destined to find more than its share of buyers when it comes to market toward the first of the year. It leverages the learnings Nissan has gained as one of the mainstream electric-vehicle pioneers. And it takes those learning from the Nissan Leaf in an entirely new direction.Initially, only front-drive Ariya models will be offered, but later they will be joined by variations with the innovative e-4orce all-wheel-drive system. In addition to the choice of front-drive or all-wheel-drive, buyers will also be able to choose between long-range and standard battery arrays. Prices for the 2023 Ariya start at $43,190 for the front-drive Engage trim. Our test vehicle, driven at North American Car of the Year testing in Michigan, was a 2023 Nissan Ariya Premiere with an as-tested price of $58,850. Also in the road test segment, AOTR Co-Host Chris Teague took the 2023 Subaru BRZ sports coupe through its paces in the beauty of the Maine fall. The 2023 BRZ test car was powered by a 2.4-liter 228 horsepower “boxer” engine paired with a six-speed close-ratio manual transmission. (A six-speed electronic direct-control automatic transmission is optional.) Offered in two trim levels, The Subaru BRZ has a starting price of $28,595, and is a true bargain in driving fun. The BRZ's list of standard features includes a Torsen limited-slip differential; keyless entry, LED headlights, stability control with track mode and dual-zone automatic climate control. But the big question is this: Could it contain the six-foot-tall Chris Teague with his daughter in a booster seat behind him? We'll answer that question and others in this week's edition of America on the Road. This week our special guest is Mark Bole, who is Vice President and head of Battery Solutions for General Motors. His arm of GM is ready to deliver electric power, not just to your cars, but also to your home. And he'll tell that fascinating story in an interview with Host Jack Nerad in this episode.

The world's largest battery-electric truck for underground mining is on its way to becoming commercially available in 2024. Sandvik's 65 t TH665B machine removes between 1 t and 2 t of carbon dioxide (CO2) a day, along with heat and noise. “When we talk about sustainability and electrifying mining, we focus a lot on what we can reduce, such as CO2 emissions, heat and noise. That's one side of the coin, and that's great. “But what's important to emphasise, too, is that you can also increase a lot of things. Battery-electric machines have more power, which provides the potential to improve performance, speed and tons moved,” Sandvik VP strategy and commercial for the battery and hybrid/electric-vehicles business unit of Sandvik Mining & Rock Solutions Jakob Rutqvist highlighted to Mining Weekly in a Zoom interview. (Also watch attached Creamer Media video.) By the end of this year, Sandvik will have three proven battery-electric production units to help satisfy the rapidly increasing demand for decarbonisation – a 4 t loader, 18 t loader and 50 t truck. The 65 t truck will be the next big product launch, amid the company's overall commitment to provide – by the end of 2025 – an offering covering all the major size classes, with the exception of low-profile machines. “Low profile is one of the potential next steps beyond 2025,” said Rutqvist. The official unveiling of the 65 t battery-electric truck was one of the attractions of this month's Electra Mining Africa exhibition in Johannesburg, which was attended by more than 30 000 people at a time when major mining companies the world over are going all out to meet their net-zero decarbonisation commitments. The deployment of a full renewables-powered Sandvik loader and truck fleet underground is calculated to cut total mine emissions by around 35%. When engaged in heavy load work on a steep ramp, the 65 t battery-electric truck has a runtime of roughly one-and-a-half hours to two hours. When on level terrain, that runtime can extend to three hours before requiring the battery to be swopped, which takes about five minutes. While one battery is in operation, the other is charging. The low-noise TH665B, which also has collision avoidance and digital prompt systems, is to undergo site acceptance testing at Western Australia's Sunrise Dam gold mine, beginning early next year. “We're going to put it to very hard use with Barminco and AngloGold Ashanti for the first half of next year. I'm sure we'll learn a lot, and then we'll implement some improvements, and maybe some product upgrades, based on what we learn,” said Rutqvist. Sandvik's first battery-electric entry into Africa will be with the 18 t battery-electric LH518B underground loader at South Africa's South Deep gold mine, a mechanised operation 50 km southwest of Johannesburg, where a 60 MW solar power development is under way. On the development of the solar farm, Rutqvist said: “I was very impressed when I saw that last week.” The commissioning of the battery-electric loader, already a commercial product, will begin early next year. “We're well prepared, both on the customer side and on Sandvik's side, for a successful introduction of this technology in South Africa,” said Rutqvist. Canada is currently the leading battery-electric market, with Australia, northern Europe and Africa rapidly picking up pace. Mining Weekly: What milestones has Sandvik already achieved when it comes to electrification? Rutqvist: We started a very long time ago. The first electric loader came out the same year I was born, so that's 1982, and the first electric truck came in the late 80s. These were cable electric, connected to the mine grid with a cable. We launched our first automated electric loader in 2009 and then acquired Artisan Vehicle Systems in 2019, which is where I sit right now. This is our R&D hub, battery- and prototype factory for battery-electric vehicles, the big new thing. This year is a milestone because we've secured some very ...

Original-equipment manufacturer Sandvik on September 5 officially unveiled its 65-t-capacity zero-emission battery-electric truck, the Sandvik TH665B, at Electra Mining Africa in Johannesburg. The group notes that this is the world's largest-capacity battery-electric truck for underground mining. It will enable miners to have a fleet of vehicles with zero emissions, enable a greater workload per tonne and engender better power on an incline. Testing on the machine is under way and almost complete in Australia. Speaking at the launch, Sandvik VP Jakob Rutqvist said Australia and Africa were likely to be the biggest markets for this machine. He added that Africa was especially suited towards electrification, because diesel was relatively expensive in many countries on the continent and Africa was host to many hot, deep, ventilation-constrained mines, which made the battery electric vehicle (BEV) business case stronger. Rutqvist explained that the truck, when in operation, generated about 85% less heat than a diesel truck, which helped considerably if the mine was ventilation-constrained. He said Sandvik was at the forefront of electrification in the underground mining industry, poised to meet the needs of many companies' commitments to net zero over the next several years. He pointed out that in an average underground mine, 50% to 60% of emissions came from the mobile fleet, with considerable amounts from the primary haulage equipment; therefore, electrifying this made a big difference. “Sandvik is very proud to be introducing the world's largest underground truck and very happy to be doing that in Africa,” Rutqvist said. He outlined that the truck would remove between 1 t and 2 t a day of carbon dioxide (CO2) when in operation; therefore, the impact would be “quite significant”. In terms of the design principles for the truck, Rutqvist said Sandvik adhered to three main ones when developing the truck. Firstly, it was aligned to its mandate of “rethinking the machine, not the mine”. The group did not want to introduce technology that requires customers to redesign their operation and undertake considerable infrastructure investments. In this vein, Rutqvist said the truck could be very easily implemented at an existing operation and maintained with existing infrastructure. Moreover, the machine boasts battery swapping technology. It does not require any big fixed infrastructure to turn on, nor would the operator need to exit the cabin to handle the battery. Rather, the battery swap is fully automated. There is also a charging setup for this machine, which is 100% mobile and does not require extra ventilation on the mine, with existing capacity generally enough, Rutqvist explained. In terms of the battery swapping technology, one battery is on the machine while it is in operation, while the other is charging, which Rutqvist said reduced the peak stress on the grid. He outlined that, when the machine was doing very heavy work, on a steep ramp, it had about an hour and a half to two hours of runtime. Work on a level that does not require as much energy, would enable about two and half to three hours before requiring the battery to be swapped, which takes about five minutes. The second design principle is that the truck needs to be fit for mining. The battery is rugged with safe chemistry, Rutqvist said, adding that the machine and battery had been designed to handle the terrain of mining operations. The battery had also been specifically designed for mining and mining needs, Rutqvist said, rather than repurposing other battery technology. Moreover, both the machine and battery were designed with serviceability in mind, with easy accessibility, to allow these to be serviced on the mine. The last design principle was to “expect more”, highlighted Rutqvist. “We haven't compromised anything, we're not expecting customers to accept lower performance, just because you want to lower emissions,” he averred. Therefore, he outlined that it...

For the first 15 years of his professional career, Matt focused on information technology - working for a large silicon valley software companies to data center startups to a brief stint with a family foundation that, unlike his previous employers, did not create profit but rather had a goal to give it all away. In early 2000 he entered the world of logistics - mostly implementing large software systems and eventually asked to look at innovations in trucking and warehousing. In mid-2015 his employer opened one of the first industry "Innovation Labs" - a group dedicated to researching and testing early-stage supply chain innovations like inventory counting drones, robotic automation, human exoskeletons, and virtual reality applications. In early 2018 Matt joined Covenant Logistics - a premium service provider of transportation and warehousing services. In his role as VP of Sustainability and Innovation, he works directly with senior leadership to research future trends in the logistics industry and evaluate their applicability to Covenant's strategy of providing more affordable, safer, cleaner delivery of products. Lately, he's been spending most of his time looking at Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Environmental / Social Governance (ESG) as many supply chain companies are looking for ways to reduce their carbon footprints using everything from alternative fuels like Battery Electric and Hydrogen to autonomous vehicles to optimization software. When not at work, Matt spends most of his time outdoors and traveling with his family in their DIY converted 2017 Sprinter Van, christened "Chad The Van" by his teenage son. Chadthevan regularly transports both the family and outdoor gear to their frequent outdoor activities of kayaking, hang gliding, scuba diving, trail running, mountain biking, overlanding - anything outdoors.

電動車大廠特斯拉（Tesla）執行長馬斯克今天指出，中國在可再生能源發電和電動汽車領域處世界領先地位。但中國電動車廠小鵬汽車董事長何小鵬回應，中國還需要10年的努力。 馬斯克（Elon Musk）在微博發文，指「似乎很少有人意識到，中國在可再生能源發電和電動汽車領域正處於世界領先地位。無論你怎麼看中國，這都是事實」。 隨後何小鵬對此轉發微博表示，對可再生能源發電不懂，中國在電動汽車領域只是「站在世界前列」而已。要做到「領先全世界」，除了在技術和產品上要領先，更重要的是在全球市場上領先和商業上多贏，這些起碼還需要10年的努力。 另有網友在馬斯克發文下回應，「世界領先地位不是因為特斯拉在中國的廠嗎」？其它網友則指「你是地球球長，你說的都對」、「好，這就買國產電車」。 馬斯克近期數次誇讚中國，被中國網友稱為「『誇誇群』群主」，他曾說「微信功能強大，基本上什麼都能做到」，還曾讚揚中國勞工任勞任怨，「總是加班到半夜」，反觀美國人對工作總是「能閃就閃」。 據外電報導，特斯拉最繁忙的工廠和「主要出口中心」都位於上海。而據汽車市場研究機構LMC Automotive評估，特斯拉2021年在中國的銷售量成長226%，為47萬3600台，占全球交車量93萬5222台的一半左右。 小額贊助支持本節目： https://pay.firstory.me/user/ckpn6ychi2iii0882y4jgrcz8 留言告訴我你對這一集的想法： https://open.firstory.me/user/ckpn6ychi2iii0882y4jgrcz8/comments 純網路銀行一切服務都透過網路完成，可以節省掉實體銀行的店租、ATM 、行員、水電費、維護費之類的成本，進而提供更優惠的存款及貸款利率,促進金融產業邁向4.0 一. 美術地國-股票and地產✨： https://lin.ee/QlcbzeR 二.Telegram,理財STB✨ https://t.me/stbstock11 Elon Musk, chief executive of electric car maker Tesla (Tesla), pointed out today that China is a world leader in renewable energy power generation and electric vehicles. But He Xiaopeng, chairman of Chinese electric car maker Xiaopeng Motors, responded that China still needs 10 years of hard work. Elon Musk tweeted, "It seems that few people realize that China is leading the world in renewable energy generation and electric vehicles. No matter how you look at China, this is true." He Xiaopeng then retweeted this Weibo saying that he does not understand renewable energy power generation, and China is only "standing in the forefront of the world" in the field of electric vehicles. In order to "lead the world", in addition to leading in technology and products, more importantly, leading in the global market and achieving multi-win business, these will require at least 10 years of hard work. Another netizen responded under Musk's post, "Isn't the world's leading position because of Tesla's factory in China?" Other netizens pointed out that "you are the long ball of the earth, what you said is correct" and "OK, let's buy a domestic tram." Musk has praised China several times recently, and has been called "the owner of the 'Kwa Kua Group'" by Chinese netizens. He once said that "WeChat is powerful and can basically do anything", and he also praised Chinese laborers for their hard work and perseverance, "always Work overtime until midnight.” On the other hand, Americans always “flash when they can” about work. According to foreign reports, Tesla's busiest factory and "major export center" are located in Shanghai. According to an assessment by LMC Automotive, an auto market research organization, Tesla's sales in China will increase by 226% in 2021 to 473,600 units, accounting for about half of the 935,222 units delivered globally. ✨✨✨✨ Elon Musk, Vorstandsvorsitzender des Elektroautoherstellers Tesla (Tesla), wies heute darauf hin, dass China weltweit führend bei der Stromerzeugung aus erneuerbaren Energien und Elektrofahrzeugen ist. Aber He Xiaopeng, Vorsitzender des chinesischen Elektroautoherstellers Xiaopeng Motors, antwortete, dass China noch 10 Jahre harter Arbeit brauche. Elon Musk schrieb auf Weibo und sagte, dass „nur wenige Menschen zu erkennen scheinen, dass China bei der Stromerzeugung aus erneuerbaren Energien und Elektrofahrzeugen weltweit führend ist. Egal, wie man China betrachtet, das ist eine Tatsache.“ He Xiaopeng hat diesen Weibo dann retweetet und gesagt, dass er die Stromerzeugung aus erneuerbaren Energien nicht verstehe und China nur im Bereich der Elektrofahrzeuge „an der Spitze der Welt stehe“. Um „weltweit führend“ zu werden, sind neben Technologie- und Produktführerschaft, was noch wichtiger ist, die Führung auf dem globalen Markt und das Erzielen von Multi-Win-Geschäften mindestens 10 Jahre harter Arbeit erforderlich. Ein anderer Internetnutzer antwortete unter Musks Post: „Ist die weltweit führende Position nicht wegen Teslas Fabrik in China?“ Andere Internetnutzer wiesen darauf hin, dass „Sie der lange Ball der Erde sind, was Sie gesagt haben, ist richtig“ und „Okay, lasst uns eine einheimische Straßenbahn kaufen“. Musk hat China in letzter Zeit mehrmals gelobt und wurde von chinesischen Internetnutzern als „Gruppeneigentümer der ‚Kwa Kua Group‘" bezeichnet. Er sagte einmal, dass „WeChat mächtig ist und im Grunde alles kann", und er lobte auch chinesische Arbeiter dafür Sie arbeiten hart und beschweren sich nie, machen Überstunden bis Mitternacht.“ Auf der anderen Seite „blitzen“ die Amerikaner immer, wenn sie können, über die Arbeit. Laut ausländischen Berichten befindet sich Teslas geschäftigste Fabrik und „wichtigstes Exportzentrum“ in Shanghai. Laut einer Einschätzung von LMC Automotive, einem Automarktforschungsunternehmen, wird der Absatz von Tesla in China im Jahr 2021 um 226 % auf 473.600 Einheiten steigen, was etwa der Hälfte der weltweit ausgelieferten 935.222 Einheiten entspricht.

Battery-electric crossover vehicles are the new vehicle du jour, and one of the latest to join the fray is the Kia Concept EV9, a stalking horse for the brand's upcoming production version of the vehicle. In a suddenly very crowded segment, the EV9 is one of the best-looking, and it is filled with advanced tech. To learn more about the EV9 we had the chance to talk with Karim Habib, Kia Senior Vice President and Head of Kia Design Center. What distinguishes the EV9 Concept from others that are plowing the same ground. Our interview will reveal that. In the road test segment of this week's show, Co-Host Chris Teague will be giving his thoughts on the 2022 Honda Civic hatchback. All-new for the 2022 model year, the Civic Hatchback is one of the most versatile compact cars you can buy. Also in the road test segment Host Jack Nerad and his family tested the newest version of one of the most venerable and venerated vehicles of the past several generations, the Toyota Land Cruiser. They got the chance to wring it out on several family adventures over the past 10 days, and he'll have a full report. In the news, there is new heat under the idea of flying cars. The fodder of many a future prediction in the 1950s, small vertical takeoff aircraft now might graduate from being a pipedream to becoming reality. A lot of big money has gotten behind the idea of “flying taxis.” Also in the news, Chrysler and Jeep haven't been at the forefront of the electric vehicle revolution up to now, but that might change this week, based on big announcements the brands intend to make at CES in Las Vegas. We'll give you some details.

Toyota has just introduced the 2023 Toyota bZ4X crossover utility, the first in what the company says will be an extensive line of battery-powered electric vehicles. In this episode of America on the Road we will not only have all the information you need to know about the bZ4X, but we will also have exclusive information on how Toyota plans to approach environmentally conscious vehicles going forward. One thing we can assure you: their plan is far from all battery electric all the time. Our special guest in this episode is Cooper Ericksen, group vice president, product planning and strategy for Toyota Motor North America. During the just-concluded Toyota “e-volution” event Host Jack Nerad had a chance to sit down with him to discuss the Toyota bZ4X compact crossover and Toyota's plans for electrification going forward. What he said is fascinating stuff because it isn't the blue-sky pablum some other manufacturers are putting out there. It's a can't-miss interview. In auto news this week, the North American Car of the Year jury has announced its Finalists for its 2022 awards and we'll have them for you in this episode. In the minds of the jurors they represent the nine best new vehicles to come to market for 2022. You'll be amazed at what vehicles made the field and what vehicles did not. Also in the news, if you have problems connecting your phone to your car, you are not alone. We'll have the J.D. Power survey data for you on that and other automotive multimedia issues. In the road test segment, Co-Host Chris Teague will be giving of his thoughts on the Ford Bronco. Is the Bronco Two-Door the right choice for a young family? How does the Bronco fare in the rigors of a Maine fall? At the same time, Host Jack Nerad had the opportunity to drive the all-new Hyundai Santa Cruz compact pickup. The Santa Cruz represents an all-new vehicle type. How similar is it to the equally new 2022 Ford Maverick? And which one should you choose?

In this episode, I talk about the competition between Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEV) and Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV), who is winning that war and why. I introduce Toyota's re-entry into the EV race with the all-new, All-Electric Toyota bZ4X.

Is Sustainability Really a Problem with Matt McLelland Matt McLelland and Joe Lynch discuss is sustainability really a problem. Matt is the VP of Sustainability and Innovation at Covenant Transport Services, a premium service provider of transportation services with focus on temperature controlled products, regional, and long haul delivery. About Matt McLelland For the first 15 years of his professional career Matt focused on information technology -  working for a large silicon valley software companies to data center startups to a brief stint with a family foundation who, unlike his previous employers, existed to give all their money away.  In early 2000 he entered the world of logistics - mostly implementing large software systems but due to his professional curiosity consistently asked to look at innovations in trucking and warehousing.  In mid-2015 his employer opened one of the first industry "Innovation Labs" - a loosely structured group with the single purpose to research and test early-stage supply chain innovations.  From inventory counting drones, robotic automation, human exo-skeletons, and virtual reality applications - these were just a few of the many solutions they regularly explored. In early 2018 Matt tried to leave the logistics industry and start building outdoor adventure vans (that's another story) but was given a unique opportunity to join Covenant Logistics - a premium service provider of transportation and warehousing services.  In his role as VP of Sustainability and Innovation he works directly with senior leadership to research future trends in the logistics industry and evaluate their applicability to Covenant's strategy of providing more affordable, safer, cleaner delivery of product.  Lately he's been spending most of his time looking at Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Environmental / Social Governance (ESG) as many supply chain companies are looking for ways to reduce their carbon footprints using everything from alternative fuels like Battery Electric and Hydrogen to autonomous vehicles to optimization software. When not at work, Matt spends most of his time outdoors and travelling with his family in their DIY converted 2017 Sprinter Van, fondly christened "Chad The Van" by his teenage son.  Chadthevan regularly transports both the family and outdoor gear to their frequent outdoor activities - you can follow their adventures on Instagram at @chadthevan About Covenant Covenant Logistics provides transportation and logistics services in the United States. It operates through four segments: Expedited, Dedicated, Managed Freight, and Warehousing. The Expedited segment primarily provides truckload services to customers with high service freight and delivery standards. The Dedicated segment provides customers with committed truckload capacity over contracted periods using equipment either owned or leased by the company. The Managed Freight segment offers brokerage services, including logistics capacity by outsourcing the carriage of customers' freight to third parties; and transport management services, such as logistics services on a contractual basis to customers who prefer to outsource their logistics needs. The Warehousing segment provides day-to-day warehouse management services to customers. The segment also provides shuttle and switching services to shuttling containers and trailers. The company also engages in used equipment sales and leasing business. It serves transportation companies, such as parcel freight forwarders, less-than-truckload carriers, and third-party logistics providers; and traditional truckload customers, including manufacturers, retailers, and food and beverage shippers. Covenant Logistics was founded in 1986 and is based in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Key Takeaways: Is Sustainability Really a Problem Matt McLelland is the VP of Sustainability and Innovation at Covenant Transport Services, a premium service provider of transportation services with focus on temperature controlled products, regional, and long haul delivery. In the podcast interview, Matt and Joe discuss whether sustainability is really a problem – or just a lot of hype and corporate posturing. Matt makes a very convincing argument that sustainability is a very real concern for transportation and logistics providers because 1.) Shippers (customers) increasingly expect or even require their logistics partners to provide services with less environment impact. 2.) State and federal regulators are focusing their efforts on the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and the trucking business is responsible for approximately 5% of those emissions. The Boston Consulting Group published a report that suggests 80% of GHG emissions are a result of supply chains – so manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers, and their logistics partners will come under pressure to reduce their environmental impact, especially GHG emissions. Matt noted that there are some ways to reduce GHG emissions that are relatively easy (low hanging fruit) and other ways that require larger investments and a bigger commitment from both the logistics companies and their customers. The low hanging fruit opportunities include retiring old trucks with newer fuel efficient trucks, carbon capture systems like Remora and making trucks more aerodynamic with aftermarket systems like Truck Wings. For companies that want to greatly reduce GHG emissions, investments in new technologies like electric, hydrogen, and compressed natural gas trucks may be necessary. These technologies are available, however they are all have limitations. There are lots of ways transportation and l Carbon Capture for Semi-Trucks with Paul Grossogistics companies can get started on sustainability including: reducing empty miles, more efficient routing, maximizing trailer space, joining SmartWay, adding a sustainability KPI to standard reporting., etc. Learn More About Is Sustainability Really a Problem Matt McLelland LinkedIn Matt McLelland Instagram Covenant Corporate Social Responsibility Carbon Capture for Semi-Trucks with Paul Gross Why Your Truck Needs Wings with Dan Burrows CSR vs. ESG – the 101 The EPA and GHG What is Scope 1,2,3 The USA's electricity mix The Logistics of Logistics Podcast If you enjoy the podcast, please leave a positive review, subscribe, and share it with your friends and colleagues.

There's a ton of questions circulating in the industry that many people just like you want answers to.I mean, that's true anywhere – it's not just fleet. The thing with the fleet industry though, is that we're in the middle of a massive evolutionary movement for the technology that many of us use to complete our jobs on a daily/weekly basis. Yes, we're electrifying – no surprise here.But along with electrification, as more data becomes readily available to address questions, comments and concerns about where the industry is headed – the water may be murky as we go on ahead.That's where we're aiming to clear things up a bit.Each week, I'll tackle a different trending question or comment that's been revving engines across the industry – or bring in someone who can, all with the purpose of trying to make the fleet industry today (as well as where it's headed) a bit easier to navigate. Each mini-show will be about ten minutes long - the perfect amount of time for a commute or your morning coffee.------Show notes for today's episode can be found at: https://www.utilimarc.com/blogGretchen Reese on LinkedInUtilimarc on LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube#UtilimarcFleetFYIs#AskUtilimarcwww.utilimarc.com

Derek is also an entrepreneur. He founded C3 Network, LLC in 1997 to help clients launch new products in the transportation industry. Today, Derek is a Managing Partner at Schwartz Advisors, LLC doing Mergers & Acquisition support and company growth work in the auto and heavy-duty aftermarket. He continues his role as President of C3 Network. Derek serves on the boards of several companies and is a regular conference speaker at auto aftermarket and trucking conferences. Listen to Derek's previous episodes (https://remarkableresults.biz/?s=%22derek+kaufman%22) . Talking Points: BEVs or Battery Electric Vehicles have only battery power – no engine at all PHEVs are Plug-in Hybrids – they have battery packs that can be charged from the grid and have enough battery power to propel the vehicle for a certain number of miles before their internal combustion engine kicks in to keep the vehicle moving Mild and Micro Hybrids – these are hybrid vehicles where the ICE engine drives an alternator to build up a battery pack. In mild hybrids, the motors can add power to the ICE power train. In micro hybrids like stop-start systems you have a battery that will drive a starter to bring the ICE engine back on after it stops to save fuel at an intersection. In the USA, about 2.1% of our sales were full BEVs in 2019. To put that in perspective, the number one country in the world for BEV sales was Norway at 49% -- a strong market for Tesla Number 2 was Iceland at 19%, then you fall down 8.2% for number 3 Sweden. China is driving hard for BEVs but they were only at 4.2% last year. It is interesting to note that if California was its own country – and lots of people would say it is – it would be right up with Sweden at over 8% BEV sales in 2019. If you go to San Diego, or sections of LA or the Bay Area – you would think that Tesla has a 30% market share – California is the epicenter of their sales. Our estimate is that only .22% of cars in shops are BEVs today and that only grows to under 4% in the next ten years. The European Union is all in on electric drive – and they are driving the market by imposing a 95 gram per kilometer CO2 emission limit on vehicle manufacturers. You have everyone trying to sell cars in Europe rushing to add BEVs to their product lines even though the consumers in that market are continuing to buy high powered ICEs and even turning now to SUVs. So BEVs are going to be money-losing propositions for a lot of years for OEMs in Europe.The UK just announced a ban on ICE gas and diesel engines as of 2035 – that was pulled up from 2040 France has a ban slated for 2040 – but Paris is blocking ICE cars by 2030 China isn’t doing a nationwide ban but is talking about regional bans – and they are making it really difficult or impossible to build any new ICE production capacity in the country. The US has been lagging other countries for a number of reasons – our geography makes the whole issue of battery range a tougher issue than in a lot of the European countries where you have less chance of even reaching a car’s range limitWe’re a light truck and SUV country – over 70% of new car sales are light trucks in this country so I think the adoption of BEVs will change once those vehicle designs include electric drive. So we’re projecting a slower climb for the USA – the Schwartz Advisors model is showing 16% BEV sales by 2035. Rivian as a true inflection point for BEVs in this country and maybe in the world.R.J. Scaringe in Detroit has done a tremendous job of attracting both people and investment...

Listen as Devin Lindsay discusses battery electric vehicles.

German automotive companies Volkswagen [folks-VAH-gen] and eClassics have joined the trend of transforming vintage cars into battery electric-powered vehicles. In some European countries, converting old vehicles to battery electric power has been considered a great alternative as some major cities started banning diesel engine cars from their roads. The ban aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by a minimum of 40% by the year 2030 in the European Union through the removal of vehicles that contribute to air pollution. Emissions from diesel contribute to global warming, which harms the environment. In light of the ban, a number of car manufacturing companies have started offering vintage car owners a chance to upgrade their cars to electric-powered cars. This is typically done by replacing an old car's engine with an electric motor and installing rechargeable batteries. For their first project, Volkswagen and eClassics have teamed up to convert vintage Beetles. Volkswagen will provide the batteries and other parts, such as the engine, while eClassics will conduct the rest of the conversion. The converted Beetles will be able to produce enough power to improve their speed. Aside from this, they will also have zero emissions because they will run on a clean energy source. The converted electric cars will also have relatively lower maintenance costs because their engines no longer need to be lubricated. As this trend gains popularity, Volkswagen is also considering how the technology could be applied to other older cars. The company's next plan is to convert vintage minibuses, as well as other old luxury cars. A board member from the car company even said that in the future, it may even be possible to convert the classic Porsche 356, which was first released in 1948.

Topic Discussed : Global Medium-Heavy Commercial Vehicle Market Outlook, 2019Speaker: Silpa PaulKey Takeaways:This research provides an outlook of the global medium-heavy truck market for the year 2019. The study also provides a review of the year 2018 which just passed by. The study examines the truck sales growth in 2018 and 2019 across regions and also provides projections for 2019. Some of the key technologies examined in the study are electric powertrain, Natural gas powertrain, autonomous driving, connected devices and digital services as these technologies received great interest (and investor dollars) in 2018. An example of the type of insights offered by the study is as follows- although battery electric powertrains receive great attention in trade shows and new channels, natural gas (NG) is a quietly growing alternative powertrain option especially in Europe and China where there is great regulatory pressure to cut emissions. Even in North America, roll out of California air resource board's (CARB) ultra-low NOx regulations will propel NG adoption in MD-HD trucks since current diesel engines cannot meet the proposed NOx limits.It covers sales forecasts for 2019 and trends into 2025 across- North America, South America, Europe, China, India, Russia, Next 11 and rest-of-the-worldFor further insights, please join us for future podcasts and become a member of Frost & Sullivan’s Leadership Council by emailing us at: digital@frost.com or click here to Contact Us.Related Keywords: Frost & Sullivan, Truck Outlook 2019, Commercial Vehicle Outlook 2019, medium duty truck market 2019, heavy duty truck market 2019, Electric truck, Battery Electric truck, Nikola, Tesla SEMI, Einride,Autonomous driving, Commercial Trucks, New Technology, Freightliner Inspiration, Truck Telematics, Digital freight brokerage, Urban trucking, Toyota e-pallete Tailpipe emissions, TCO electrificationWebsite: www.frost.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The list of electric vehicles bound for the 2010 Detroit Auto Show grew on Thursday with word that the battery-electric Volvo C30 has been tweaked and will make an appearance in the Motor City. Volvo had announced the car last September but now says the new version "is a much more complete product." "The new battery-electric C30 features a complete interior and full instrumentation, as well as enhanced battery packaging," said Lennart Stegland, director of Volvo Cars Special Vehicles, in a statement. "The first prototype helped us identify the main technological challenges without compromising the C30's personality. The electric C30 in Detroit is a much more complete product."

More than 40 studies of well-to-wheels emissions show that plug-in vehicles are a better environmental choice than gasoline cars, hybrids, or hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles. Plug In America board member Sherry Boschert discusses the data.

The synergies between plug-in cars and solar or wind power are sparking a convergence of our transportation and energy industries. Mike Kane, a solar power professional and a director of Plug In America, discusses the win-win of combining renewable electricity with electric vehicles or plug-in hybrids. Individual homeowners and society as a whole are benefiting from this combination.

Plug In America board member Marc Geller describes the lengths consumers had to go to in order to drive electrc cars, and how drivers fought back when automakers wanted to destroy these vehicles. Hear how 2007 is a key year to influence government regulators in favor of electric cars, and how you can help.

Neighborhood electric vehicles (NEVs) aren't for everyone, but they serve an important niche. With a short range, a top speed of 25 mph, and an affordable price, they're great for running gas-free errands, taking the kids to school, etc. One of the new NEVs on the block -- the Zenn NEV -- is featured in this podcast from the San Francisco Green Festival.

Plug In America's executive director, Chelsea Sexton, describes the exciting recent activity in car companies both large and small to move toward production of new electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids. Are these cars really coming? When and where can we get one? Hear an expert's view on developments, and what you can do to speed them along.

Professor Andrew Frank of the University of California, Davis is the godfather of plug-in hybrids. He and his students have been building them for more than a decade, showing us what the car companies could be doing, if only they would. Hear his take on the state of the industry in an interview at EVS23, the international electric vehicle symposium in Anaheim, Calif. in December 2007.

Activism has always been an important tool for Plug In America. Besides our inside work in government and industry, we hit the streets when a good protest or demonstration would be the most effective move. Zan Dubin Scott talks about some of our best actions, and why they worked.

For the first time, visitors to the 2007 San Francisco Green Festival could inspect a kit on sale that converts a hybrid into a plug-in hybrid. Hear the details from Robb Protheroe of Plug-in Supply Inc., which makes the kit, and Carolyn Coquillette, owner of Luscious Garage, a new "green" garage in San Francisco that plans to offer kit installation.

Plug In America President Linda Nicholes loved driving her Toyota RAV4-EV electric SUV so much, she jumped at the chance to become one of the first owners of the sporty new Tesla Roadster, a sleek electric sportscar that sprints from 0 to 60 mph in under 4 seconds and has a range of 200 miles per charge.
