The future ?
Mercedes-Benz Trucks celebrates world premiere of the battery electric long-haul truck eActros 600, in Germany
Am I excited about this? No. I can't enthuse about electric vehicles. I think that the idea we can replace all our petrol/diesel vehicles with electric is pie in the sky at the moment. We already have commercial electric trucks on the road, mainly for local work, but these Mercedes vehicles are supposed to be capable of long distance work.
I read that this one has gone through a lot of tests, fully loaded and on mountainous terrain. If you want to find out more, check out the Daimler Truck web site.
For years manufacturers have been experimenting with reducing the weight of tractor units and trailers alike, to give the maximum payload. Cost of freight is paid by the tonnage and volume of the load. I can't see any pictures of the batteries buried deep inside this unit. On a diesel engine mechanics tilt the cab or lift the front grill to gain access for repairs. The battery bank must be under there somewhere. I wonder how the weights compare now.
I asked a friend once if I could see the batteries in her Tesla. She said no, they are underneath the floor and only the garage can get access to them. I find that a bit worrying.
Anyway, I don't like the look of this Mercedes truck. Can I say it is rather ugly. Is that allowed? 😝
It's looking like a lovely day again today, so I must go outside. Thanks for popping in. Toodle pip. ilona
