Podcasts about eactros

Von der Klimaneutralität sind wir in Deutschland noch weit entfernt. Im Güterverkehr liegen die CO₂-Emissionen sogar über den Werten von 1995, weil es immer mehr Brummis auf der Straße gibt. Mercedes setzt mit dem eActros 600 jetzt auch in diesem Segment auf Elektromobilität. Andere wollen den Trailer elektrifizieren und wieder setzen auf Kraftstoff aus Strom. Aber wie alltagstauglich ist das strombasierte Konzept für die schweren Transporter? Wie fällt die CO₂-Bilanz aus? Wie clever sind Elektro-Trucks? Das klären Birgit Priemer und Patrick Lang mit Tilman Morlok von Daimler Trucks, Michael Nimtsch von Trailer Dynamics und Ralph Diemer von der eFuel Alliance.

Microsoft überraschte uns alle mit einem neuen Office-Gerät, mit dem man auf Cloud-Anwendungen zugreifen kann, also einem Thin Client. Mit 350 Dollar auch nicht wirklich günstig, zumal auch keine Details zur Hardware selbst bekannt sind. Die werden schon wissen, was ihre Zielgruppe ist, oder? Oder? Valve aktualisiert die Steam-Richtlinien für Season Passes: Entwickler müssen nun detaillierte Angaben machen, was Spieler denn wirklich zu erwarten haben, welche Addons/DLCs darin enthalten sein werden, wann diese erscheinen sollen und so weiter. Positiv für Konsumente. Eines unserer Lieblingsthemen, E-Mobilität, mit gleich zwei Meldungen: Die Consulting Firma P3 hat in einer Untersuchung von 7000 E-Autos herausgearbeitet, dass die Akkus deutlich länger halten, als im Allgemeinen angenommen oder befürchtet wird. Und der Elektro-LKW eActros von Daimler Truck geht in die Serienfertigung über. Mal sehen, wie der im Markt angenommen wird, beeindruckend ist das Teil auf jeden Fall. Viel Spaß mit Folge 232!

In Wörth beginnt heute offiziell die Serienproduktion des eActros 600, dem neuen E-Lkw von Daimler Truck. Noch in diesem Jahr sollen die ersten Fahrzeuge gefertigt und zugelassen werden.

Elektrické nákladné vozidlá už nie sú len sci-fi, ale realitou aj na Slovensku. V aktuálnej epizóde podcastu NA PLNÝ PRÚD sa riaditeľ SEVA Patrik Križanský porozprával s Jánom Šulekom zo spoločnosti Daimler Truck & Bus Slovakia, ktorý sa podelil o svoje skúsenosti a pohľad na budúcnosť elektrických kamiónov. Daimler Truck & Bus je jedným z lídrov transformácie v nákladnej doprave s dôrazom na udržateľnosť a technológie. Ich nové modely eActros 600 už dnes brázdia európske cesty a dokážu konkurovať klasickým dieselovým ťahačom. Kam smeruje elektrická nákladná doprava na Slovensku? Stačí aktuálna infraštruktúra pre plne elektrické kamióny, alebo potrebujeme ešte veľké investície? Aké sú skutočné prevádzkové náklady oproti tradičným vozidlám? A ako slovenskí dopravcovia vnímajú tento prechod? Preberieme technológie, ktoré zvyšujú efektivitu týchto vozidiel, a pozrieme sa na spätnú väzbu zákazníkov, ktorí už majú skúsenosti s elektrickými kamiónmi. Zaujíma vás, čo prinesie nová vlajková loď eActros 600 a či dokáže elektrický kamión zvládnuť slovenské diaľnice bez kompromisov? Príjemné počúvanie prajeme!

Puntata speciale del podcast in collegamento dallo IAA 2024, la fiera internazionale su trasporto e logistica in corso in questi giorni ad Hannover. Sotto i riflettori, uno dei costruttori di camion protagonisti di questa edizione, Mercedes-Benz Trucks, che ha messo in mostra tante novità. Su tutte, l'eActros 600, il primo pesante elettrico a raggiungere i 500 chilometri di autonomia, fresco vincitore del premio Truck of the Year 2025. Ospite della puntata, Domenico Andreoli, responsabile marketing di Daimler Truck Italia

Die Spannung an den Märkten steigt vor der Fed-Entscheidung am Mittwoch. Der DAX zeigte heute kaum Bewegung und schloss mit einem Minus von 0,4 % bei 18.633 Punkten. Die US-Börsen starten uneinheitlich, während der Goldpreis erneut ein Rekordhoch erreicht. UniCredit wirbt für eine Fusion mit der Commerzbank, was den deutschen Bankenmarkt stärken könnte. Volkswagen präsentiert auf der IAA den "New Transporter" und plant günstigere Modelle. Traton fordert mehr politische Unterstützung für E-Lkw, und Daimler Truck startet bald die Serienproduktion des "eActros 600". Südzucker senkt seine Jahresziele wegen des Zuckerpreisverfalls, und Vossloh sichert sich Großaufträge von der Deutschen Bahn. Interviews vom Tage: Fondsmanager Ufo Boydak und Dirk Müller zum Thema Notenbanken. Ebenfalls im Programm das Thema KI. Thomas Rappold ist Advisor für Technologieindizes und zeigt auf, dass die USA hier in einer ganz eigenen Liga spielen.

Egal ob Diesel, Gas oder Elektro: Alle Lkw müssen irgendwann in die Gewinnzone fahren, wenn sie denn ein Unternehmen wirtschaftlich halten sollen. Für Fahrzeuge mit vollelektrischem Antriebsstrang gab es für kurze Zeit eine Förderung. Seit dem Aus von KSnI gab es viele Diskussionen darüber, wie die Zukunft der Technologie aussehen kann und wird. Der Hersteller Daimler Truck bereitet aktuell die Serienproduktion des eActros 600 vor – ein Elektro-Lkw, der tauglich für den Fernverkehr sein soll. In diesem Podcast erklärt Michael Scheib, Leiter des Produktmanagements bei Mercedes-Benz Trucks, warum die Nachfrage für den eActros 600 so stark ist, wie ein klassischer Arbeitsalltag für den Lkw aussehen könnte und ob er ohne Förderung überhaupt eine Chance hat, in die „Gewinnzone“ zu fahren. -- Dieser Podcast ist in Kooperation mit Daimler Truck entstanden.

FOLLOW UP: CONTINENTAL FINED $107M FOR DIESELGATEContinental, the automotive parts supplier, has been fined €100 million for its part in the dieselgate scandal. The fine was such due to the full cooperation of the company and changes they have subsequently made to their compliance structures. There are six weeks for Continental to pay the fine. Click this Reuters article for more information. STELLANTIS LASHES OUT AT EV MANDATESCarlos Tavares criticises the current UK EV mandates as “terrible”. He has met with the Transport Secretary, Mark Harper, to discuss the situation and suggest alterations that will make it more workable for the industry. We are finding out that you cannot just manufacture demand, when reviewing the monthly SMMT registration figures. You can read more, via a Peter Campbell thread here.

LOTUS CHIEF COMMERCIAL OFFICER IS LEAVINGMike Johnson, who is the chief commercial officer of Lotus and the public facing executive for the brand, will be leaving the company after only 18 months in role. He is said to be staying in automotive, but we will have to wait to find out where and when. If you wish to read more on this, click the Autocar article link here. RANSWOMWARE ATTACK IMPACTS STREET LIGHTSA ransomware attack on Leicester City Council has led street lights to “misbehave”. This should cause great concern as more and more systems are linked and accessible remotely. Hopefully, more important and safety critical systems are being looked at across the country so there is not a serious impact from such incidents. Click this BitDefender story link here, to read more.MERCEDES EACTROS 600 CHARGES AT 1MWMercedes-Benz are preparing for the Megawatt Charging System (MCS), that is due to be finalised in 2025, and have successfully charged an eActros 600 prototype at 1MW for the first time. Not details were given on how long the vehicle charged or even how long at 1MW. You can read more, by clicking this electrive article link here. SAMSUNG TEASES FASTER CHARGING LONG LIFE BATTERYAt the 37th Electric Vehicle Symposium & Exposition, in Seoul, Samsung revealed that they will start production of a new electric vehicle batteries that will charge to 80% in nine minutes and some will last 20 years. The plan is for production to start in 2026, but it being fitted to cars in 2029. That's all a little way off, hopefully this isn't like solid state batteries and just far enough ahead for us to forget the last date that was declared.

Der eActros 600 ist das Elektro-Flaggschiff aus dem Hause Daimler Truck. Jetzt ist der Lkw erstmals über die VR-Testrunde gefahren. Er ist das erste Modell aus dem Hause Daimler Truck, das perspektivisch auch für den Fernverkehr geeignet sein soll. Der eActros 600 soll laut seinem Hersteller bis zu 500 Kilometer am Stück fahren können, dank CCS- und sogar MCS-Anschluss sei zudem ein schnelles Nachladen garantiert. Die VerkehrsRundschau ist erstmals mit dem E-Lkw über die hauseigene Testrunde gefahren, um unter anderem die Reichweite auf die Probe zu stellen. Ob das trotz schlechter Wetterbedingungen geglückt ist, hören Sie in dieser Episode von VR Funk.

Für den Forscher Patrick Plötz ist klar, kaum ein E-Lkw muss Schnellladen - aber die die es müssen, brauchen es dringend. Wieso wir dennoch Techniken wie das Megawattcharging brauchen, wie viele Lkw-Ladepunkte nötig sind und wann die Logistik ganz auf Strom setzen kann, klären wir in dieser Folge.

Mercedes-Benz Trucks ha organizzato un roadshow in tutta Europa per far conoscere da vicino l'eActros, il suo nuovo truck pesante elettrico pensato per la distribuzione. In Italia il tour ha fatto tappa a Milano e poi all'Interporto di Bologna, con l'obiettivo di far provare il nuovo camion elettrico anche ai trasportatori locali e non. Noi di K44 siamo stati alla tappa bolognese e abbiamo raccolto i commenti a caldo di autisti e di titolari di aziende di trasporto, che hanno avuto modo di testare il veicolo esprimendo giudizi molto positivi sul fronte della silenziosità, della ripresa e del comfort di guida. Li ascoltiamo in questo nuovo episodio di K44 La Voce del Trasporto. Ospite in studio, Luigi Serafini, e-mobiliy specialist di Mercedes-Benz Trucks Italia

«Quanto può influire il piede dell'autista sull'autonomia di un veicolo elettrico?». «Un motore elettrico è realizzato con molta meno componentistica rispetto ad uno endotermico. Questo significa che ha bisogno di molta meno manutenzione?». «Per chi lavora nei trasporti eccezionali, deve rivedere l'autonomia al ribasso o addirittura non è previsto l'impiego di veicoli elettrici per i trasporti più energivori?». Sono alcune delle domande che ci avete rivolto per questo secondo appuntamento con «Alla ricarica!», la nuova miniserie podcast di K44 dedicata ai dubbi, ai consigli e alle curiosità sulla transizione elettrica dei camion. Risponde per noi Luigi Serafini, e-mobility specialist di Mercedes-Benz Trucks Italia

La transizione verso la mobilità elettrica è una delle maggiori sfide tecnologiche del prossimo futuro e anche il settore del trasporto pesante ne sarà profondamente condizionato. Per questo è importante comprendere, sin da oggi, quali saranno le implicazioni di questa transizione, come fare i conti con il nuovo che avanza e soprattutto con che cosa un domani ci si troverà concretamente a lavorare. Con questo intento nasce «Alla ricarica!», la nuova miniserie podcast di K44 che in tre episodi risponde ai dubbi, ai consigli e alle curiosità sulla transizione elettrica dei camion.In questo primo appuntamento ci concentriamo sugli aspetti puramente tecnici di un camion elettrico, rispondendo ai tanti quesiti che ci sono arrivati in redazione. Marcello, ad esempio, chiede: «Rispetto a un motore a combustione interna, uno elettrico è più o meno efficiente in termini energetici?». Giuseppe, invece, domanda: «Quanta portata utile perde un camion a causa del peso delle batterie?». E ancora, Giacomo s'interroga se esiste un criterio per «stabilire quale sia la tecnologia migliore tra elettrico e idrogeno e battezzarne una come buona per tutti?». A queste e altre domande risponde Luigi Serafini, e-mobiliy specialist di Mercedes-Benz Trucks Italia

➤ No niche models, says volume-hunting Peugeot boss ➤ 40-tons eActros crosses the Arlberg Pass in Tyrol ➤ Out for Swiss flagship project: Hyundai stops H2 trucks ➤ Shell quietly pulls the plug on hydrogen in the UK ➤ BMW to source round cells from AESC in the USA ➤ BMW boosts battery assembly in Germany for Mini crossover EV ➤ Audi Tests E-Tron With Particulate Filter To Clean The Air As It Drives ➤ AIWAYS U6 ➤ New Aiways U6 arrives in Europe to take on the Volkswagen ID 5 ➤ TeraWatt announces first interstate EV charging network for trucks ➤ European Parliament infrastructure vote is step in right direction

FOLLOW UP: DEALERS NOW SUE ASTON MARTIN Two former Swiss dealers, who helped underwrite the Valkyrie and another project, who were being sued by Aston Martin have now counter-sued the manufacturer. This latest move came to light as the British firm moves to raise more cash through offering more shares for sale. There are no details as to what the claim is from Andreas Baenziger and Florian Kamelger, co-owners of the Swiss Nebula Project AG. To read more, click the CarDealer link here. VW LAUNCHES ‘NEW MOBILITY' BRANCHVolkswagen has launched a new branch, titled ‘New Mobility', which will be in charge of their EV and autonomous vehicle work. All ID vehicles will come under it's guidance. Thomas Ulbrich will head the department and be on the board of Cariad, the software wing of VW. Kai Gruenitz will be the boss of Cariad, moving from VW's commercial vehicle division. You can learn more by clicking this CarScoops link here. REALITY OF PUBLIC EV CHARGING COSTSTom Callow has written a piece on LinkedIn to help clarify the situation that is becoming more apparent with the costs of public and private EV charging. He explains why costs are rising and how it should be still cheaper than filling up an ICE. To read this, click the LinkedIn, erm, link here. VOLVO TO BUILD ELECTRIC LORRIESVolvo is to begin the production of electric lorries, based on their FH, FM and FMX models, due to the increased demand for zero emission commercial vehicles. They aim to have half their sales as electric by 2030. More can be found out by clicking this Reuters link here. MERCEDES UNVEILS NEW ELECTRIC LORRIESMercedes revealed four electric lorries, the eActors LongHaul, the eActros 300, the eAtego and FUSO eCanter. That covers heavy, medium and light trucks.

AND FINALLY: THE GR YARIS AERO THAT NEVER WASThanks to the pandemic and the fall out from that, the 2021 GR Yaris never raced in WRC as it was agreed to retain the same vehicles for an extra year before moving to the next upgrade in car technology. However, the WRC Wings team have been poking around what was worked on and how some of that knowledge was passed on, even though current rules require a lot less downforce to be generated.

Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Monday 4th October. It's Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don't have to. Thank you to MYEV.com for helping make this show, they've built the first marketplace specifically for Electric Vehicles. It's a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too. Welcome to new PATREON EXECUTIVE PRODUCER REALTERS CHOICE PHOTOGRAPHY VW WORKERS URGE FASTER EV ROLLOUT  "Volkswagen's (VW) main plant in Wolfsburg might face historically low output this year and needs a faster shift toward electric vehicles to remain competitive, according to the German automaker's top labour officials." reports News24.com: "The rollout of electric car, Trinity, due in 2026 may be too late, according to VW officials. Furthermore, a global chip shortage also happens manufacturing at Wolfsburg. Due to the persistent scarcity of semiconductor chips, the output at Wolfsburg this year could even fall below the level of 2020, when the Covid-19 pandemic pushed production to just below 500 000 cars, according to VW's works council. VW's initial goal agreed in a labour pact five years ago was to make at least 820 000 vehicles in Wolfsburg last year." https://www.news24.com/fin24/companies/industrial/vw-workers-urge-faster-electric-vehicle-rollout-at-worlds-largest-biggest-car-factory-20211002 MERCEDES-BENZ GIVES SMALLER 60 KWH BATTERY TO EVITO TOURER, EQV "The Mercedes-Benz eVito Tourer (the all-electric variant of the Metris Passenger Van sold in the US) and the more luxurious EQV are getting a new battery pack option. Up until now, both models came with a 100 kWh battery (90 kWh usable), so is Mercedes-Benz giving them an even bigger pack for more range? Well, no. Actually, the new battery option has a 60 kWh net capacity, enabling a range of 217–239 kilometers (135-148 miles) on the eVito Tourer." says InsideEVs: "The standard fast charging function has an output of 50 kW, but an 80 kW option is also possible, in which case the battery can be charged from 10% to 80% in around 35 minutes. Mercedes-Benz argues that the smaller battery will appeal to customers “who cover easy-to-plan routes or who only drive short distances, such as in school transport operations.” Furthermore, it should also be interesting for those buyers looking for a weight saving of 150 kg (330 lbs) and a corresponding payload increase. Last but not least, the 60 kWh battery drives the eVito Tourer's price down by approximately €3,600 ($4,175) compared to the equivalent 90 kWh model (€60,678 versus €64,248)."

During the tests, the electric trucks tackled a total of 54,000 metres of altitude. The highest point of the trip was reached during measurement runs at the Kaunertal Glacier, at a height of 2,750 metres. In order to validate the trucks' performance and durability, the testing engineers at Mercedes-Benz Trucks then subjected the electric vehicles, which were loaded to their gross vehicle weight of 27 tonnes, to an extremely gruelling series of tests in the area surrounding Bolzano, South Tyrol. The Alpine terrain enabled the engineers to make particularly extensive use of the vehicles' energy recovery feature, which can be exploited by driving with foresight. Series production of the eActros will start at the Mercedes-Benz plant in Wörth at the beginning of October 2021.

The now independent battery division of the South Korean company is called SK On. With the announced spin-off, the Korean company wants to enable the battery division to better focus on the fast-growing market for electric cars and their batteries – independently of the other business lines of the listed company." writes electrive: "The plan is to expand global battery production capacity from the current 40 GWh per year to 85 GWh by 2023, to 220 GWh by 2025 and to over 500 GWh by 2030. In addition, it was announced a few days ago that SK Innovation, together with Ford, will invest in the construction of two new sites with assembly and battery plants in Tennessee and Kentucky – with a total capacity of 129 GWh per year."

That's according to new research from electric car website Electriying.com, which has ranked the UK's biggest supermarkets in order of EV-friendliness." reports UK Motor1.coM: "Tesco topped the list, with almost half (45 percent) of its UK superstores boasting charging facilities, while Morrisons came second with four in 10 (40 percent) of stores offering EV charging. At the opposite end of the scale, just seven percent of Sainsbury's stores offer at least one EV charging point."

The investment means Octopus has attained a valuation of around $4.6 billion."£ says TechCrunch: "Octopus has made a name for itself in energy circles largely because of its “Kraken” technology platform, which it claims is able to reroute energy from renewable sources around a network far more efficiently than competitors. Octopus is now managing 17 million energy accounts in 12 countries in this manner. Octopus has also earlier launched Electric Juice, an electric vehicle “roaming network” of 100,000 charge points across Europe that allows users to charge their personal Octopus Energy account when they charge their EVs. It's also partnered with Tesla to launch Tesla Power in the U.K. and Germany."

The first version of the software was created by the Audi Brussels quality management department for testing the Audi e-tron's battery, and then received further work from VW Group Components at Salzgitter, which is the site of VW's new battery laboratories. The device first checks whether a given battery is able to communicate, after plugging in the low-voltage connectors. BattMan then detects and brings up any error messages present, in addition to the insulation resistance, temperatures, cell voltages, and capacity."

"In issue one of T3, we reported on the release of the EV1, a fully electric car from General Motors, one of America largest automobile manufacturers. The sleek two-door, two-seater is generally regarded as the first mass-produced EV available to the public. It had a 0-60 time of around 8.4 seconds and a range of between 70 and 100 miles – and up to 140 miles for the second generation model. (BMW's i3 will only do around 150 and that was released in 2013.)" says T3: "The EV1 launched in 1996, with the improved model II appearing in 1999.

GM wouldn't give details about where it will build the new plants, but Chief Financial Officer Paul Jacobson said they would be similar in size to two factories now under construction in Lordstown, Ohio, and Spring Hill, Tennessee. Those factories each will employ more than 1,000 workers and cost about $2.3 billion." writes Autoblog: "The new plants were to come later in the decade, but now are expected to be in operation around 2025. They are part of GM's plan to spend $35 billion on electric and autonomous vehicles from 2020 to 2025. The company also said it will switch more U.S. assembly plant capacity to electric vehicles, but gave no details Wednesday." The NY Times said: "G.M. this year introduced an updated version of its electric car, the Chevrolet Bolt, that can travel farther on a full charge and has added to roomier version of the same car. A battery-powered GMC Hummer pickup truck is set to go into production late this year and is supposed to be followed by more than 20 electric models over the next four years. The company did not say where the two additional battery plants would be built. It is building them in a joint venture with the South Korean manufacturer LG Chem." https://www.autoblog.com/2021/06/15/gm-to-boost-spending-on-electric-cars-30-add-two-new-battery-plants/ https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/16/business/gm-electric-vehicle-battery-plants.html?referringSource=articleShare VOLVO TO PRODUCE NEW POLESTAR 3 ELECTRIC SUV IN SOUTH CAROLINA"Volvo plans to produce a new premium SUV for its electric Polestar brand at a plant in Charleston, South Carolina, the company said Wednesday. Volvo is investing $118 million for production of the Polestar 3 at the South Carolina plant. The vehicle is expected to go into production in 2022. It will have the same platform as the next-generation Volvo XC90, which also will be produced at the plant." says CNBC: "Polestar currently operates in 13 countries, with plans to sell tens of thousands of vehicles globally." https://www.cnbc.com/2021/06/16/volvo-to-produce-new-polestar-3-electric-suv-in-south-carolina.html AUDI BORROWS AN OLD TESLA PERK"Audi is leaving nothing to chance when it comes to the 2022 e-tron GT and potential luxury car buyers being scared off by EV charging, inking a new agreement for free public top-ups. The agreement will see all 2022 Audi e-tron GT buyers get three years of complimentary DC fast charging at Electrify America stations across the US." reports Slashgear: "There are currently more than 600 public charging stations in that network, and the e-tron GT will be able to tap speeds of up to 270 kW. That's the equivalent of taking the sports EV from 5-percent to 80-percent in around 22 minutes, or approximately 180 miles of range. By the end of the year, meanwhile, Electrify America says it expects to have around 800 locations in operation in the US. In total, there'll be around 3,500 chargers on offer." https://www.slashgear.com/audi-borrows-an-old-tesla-perk-for-the-2022-e-tron-gt-ev-15678295/ LYFT LAUNCHES EV RENTAL PILOT PROGRAMOn the 8th August last year I spoke to Sam Arons, Director of Sustainability at Lyft.

There is “definitely a demand for alternative drive vehicles in South Africa”, although the diesel engine, or internal combustion engine, will continue to play an important role in the local transport industry, says Daimler Trucks Southern Africa product management head Christo Kleynhans. “We will be bringing electric trucks to the South African market when suitable products become available from our parent company, and when the local infrastructure can accommodate this new technology.” This could, potentially, happen in the next five years. German car and truck maker Daimler has unveiled a number of alternative drive trucks, as well as future concept vehicles in recent months. This include the GenH2 hydrogen truck, which is aimed at the long-haul transport market, and marks the beginning of commercial fuel-cell drive development for the German truck maker. The company aims to start customer trials in 2023, with series production scheduled for the second half of the decade. According to Daimler, the GenH2 truck will have the capabilities of a conventional Mercedes-Benz Actros long-haul truck with regard to traction, range and performance. Daimler Trucks also presented a preview of a purely battery-powered long-haul truck, the Mercedes-Benz eActros LongHaul, which is designed to “cover regular journeys on planned routes”. Daimler Trucks plans to have the eActros LongHaul ready for series production in 2024. The range on one battery charge will be about 500 km. Also in Daimler Trucks’ alternative-drive arsenal is the Mercedes-Benz eActros for the distribution market, which was already presented in 2018 and has been tested intensively since then by customers in everyday transport operations. The company says it will start series production of this purely battery-powered heavy-duty truck next year and that the range of the series-produced eActros on one battery charge will “significantly exceed” that of the prototype’s roughly 200 km. Kleynhans says Daimler Trucks South Africa will “definitely consider” introducing the eActros LongHaul into the local market shortly after it enters series production in 2024 – “depending on the local infrastructure and availability of specific vehicle configurations suitable for a typical, local long-distance application”. While this may be good news for those local fleet owners who wish to beat fuel price increases and the ever-expanding negative effect of carbon emissions, the same is not true for the bus industry. There are currently no plans to launch the newly unveiled articulated electric (e) Citaro G bus, or the hybrid Citaro bus, in the local market, says Mercedes-Benz Buses Southern Africa head Jason Brunninger. “For now, infrastructure readiness remains key to effectively introduce and operate these vehicles on South African soil.” The range on the eCitaro G is currently between 170 km to 220 km. The eCitaro as a solo or articulated bus can also be supplied with a current collector/pantograph as an optional alternative to plug-in charging. A further variant to follow will have contact rails for charging with a fixed-position pantograph.

Daimler Trucks has unveiled its first hydrogen-based fuel cell truck. The GenH2 Truck is aimed at the long-haul transport market and marks the beginning of commercial fuel-cell drive development for the German truck maker. The company aims to start customer trials in 2023, with series production scheduled for the second half of the decade. The GenH2 Truck is set to have the capabilities of a conventional Mercedes-Benz Actros long-haul truck with regard to traction, range, and performance. It will have a gross vehicle weight of 40 t and a payload of 25 t, while it will also be able to travel 1 000 km on a single tank of hydrogen. It is thanks to the use of liquid instead of gaseous hydrogen, with its higher energy density, that the vehicle’s performance is planned to equal that of a comparable conventional diesel truck, says Daimler Trucks research, development, procurement and China region board member Sven Ennerst. The tanks used in a fuel-cell truck using liquid hydrogen are much smaller and, owing to the lower pressure, significantly lighter. This gives the trucks a larger cargo space and higher payload weight, he notes. At the same time, more hydrogen can be carried, which significantly increases the truck’s range. Refuelling time also matches that of diesel. All of this should make the series GenH2 Truck, like conventional diesel trucks, suitable for multiday, difficult to plan, long-haul transport, says Ennerst. The storage of cryogenic liquid hydrogen at –253 ̊C is already common practice in stationary applications, for example in industry or at hydrogen filling stations, he adds. This also applies to the transport of liquid hydrogen as cargo. The two stainless-steel liquid-hydrogen tanks intended for the series version of the GenH2 Truck will have a storage capacity of 80 kg (40 kg each) for covering long distances. The stainless-steel tank system consists of two tubes, one within the other, that are connected to each other and vacuum-insulated. In the series version of the GenH2 Truck, the fuel-cell system is to supply 2 x 150 kW and the battery is to provide an additional 400 kW temporarily. At 70 kWh, the storage capacity of the battery is relatively low, as it is not intended to meet energy needs, but mainly to be switched on to provide situational power support for the fuel cell, for example during peak loads while accelerating or while driving uphill fully loaded. It is to be recharged in series-production vehicles with braking energy and excess fuel-cell energy. A core element of the operating strategy of the fuel-cell and battery system is a cooling and heating system that keeps all components at the ideal operating temperature, thus ensuring maximum durability. Long-haul Electric Truck also Unveiled Daimler Trucks has also presented a preview of a purely battery-powered long-haul truck, the Mercedes-Benz eActros LongHaul, which is designed to “cover regular journeys on planned routes”. Daimler Trucks plans to have the eActros LongHaul ready for series production in 2024. The range on one battery charge will be about 500 km. Also in Daimler Trucks’ alternative drive arsenal is the Mercedes-Benz eActros for the distribution market, which was already presented in 2018 and has been tested intensively since then by customers in everyday transport operations. The company says it will start series production of this purely battery-powered heavy-duty truck next year and that the range of the series-produced eActros on one battery charge will significantly exceed that of the prototype’s roughly 200 km. Daimler Trucks says it is pursuing similar vehicle schedules for the North American and Japanese markets as it is for Europe. By 2022, Daimler Trucks’ portfolio in its main sales regions – Europe, the US and Japan – will already include series-produced vehicles with battery-electric drive. The company also has the ambition to offer only new carbon dioxide-neutral veh...

BMW is reporting hefty increases in demand every month for their electrified cars and one of the most popular models is the current BMW 530e plug-in hybrid. At the moment, in certain markets, it’s also the only electrified car on sale, as the 745e is still a few months away and the X5 hybrid is also not available yet. The BMW 330e is another choice but for now it has only been announced, dealers still waiting for the first models to arrive. it now has further electric range as well as a higher electric top speed. Rather than the measly 14 miles of maximum electric range of the old car, this new one has up to 60km (37 miles), or more than double. It also has an electric top speed of 140 km/h (86 mph), rather than the old car’s 120 km/h (74 mph)."   https://www.bmwblog.com/2018/11/15/the-g20-bmw-330e-is-sportier-and-more-efficient-than-ever/   MERCEDES-BENZ DELIVERS ELECTRIC EACTROS HEAVY-DUTY TRUCK TO LOGISTIK SCHMITT FOR TESTING "Mercedes-Benz Trucks has handed over a fully electric eActros truck to Murg Valley (Southern Germany)-based logistics company Logistik Schmitt." according to Green Car Congress. Stefan Buchner, Head of Mercedes-Benz Trucks: "Our eActros has been out on public roads since June 2018 and has already covered more than 30,000 kilometers with its battery-electric drive. Together with customers, we have been compiling experiences of the eActros in regular everyday operations since September. Its range of 200 kilometers has proved to be absolutely realistic. The eActros completes its transportation tasks regardless of the route or other factors. The expenses involved in installing one charging station at each customer’s premises is comparatively low. There is every indication that we are on the right track with our eActros concept. "   SHELL CONTINUES GREEN ENERGY ACQUISITIONS "Shell has announced its acquisition of Sonnen, a German company that specializes in home energy storage. Mostly known for its home battery packs, Sonnen also expanded into home EV charging last year. What does it mean for the industry which includes Tesla’s Powerwall?" reports Phil for Electrek: "Shell previously invested €60 million in Sonnen in May 2018. After completion of this acquisition, Sonnen will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Shell. Sonnen’s main product is its sonnenBatterie, a home energy storage battery similar to Tesla’s Powerwall. sonnenBatterie comes in two models, the eco and the more advanced ecoLinx, which includes home automation features."   https://electrek.co/2019/02/15/shell-sonnen-ev-battery/   QUESTION OF THE WEEK ANSWERS!   COMMUNITY And thanks to MYEV.com they’ve set us another Question Of The Week.
