China He is sightd by the end of combustion trucks and is following a unique roadmap to make them fall. Recently, it was learned about a fleet of 100 electric trucks managed by artificial intelligence, whose function will be to manage safety to open -pit mines to put a brake at high levels of accidents.
The inclusion of this technologically innovative fleet is part of an initiative that is under the technology mantle Huawei In the northeastern zone Hurnbuir, innerte mongolia regionwho just put Yimin, a mine of open -pit coal owned by Huaneng Richi (thirder energy group).
The project is going through its first stage of expansion, with the management by the AI that works in a network 5G-Advanced next to the aforementioned Huawei. This initiative seeks that coal mining become a safer, efficient and ecological sector.
Thus, the fuel spending of trucks and pollutant emissions that they generate is also lowered. Huaneng Richi Estimate a cargo cargo of coal metric tons in a context of temperatures below zero.
A true challenge for technology of China. Under this framework, electrifying heavy transport is one of the most thrilling challenges in the car industry. However, load infrastructure remains scarce to cover the ambitious climate objectives.
Its manufacturers would be prepared to sell electric trucks, but the big problem of the sector is the non -existence of loaders. A scenario for which China has a solution. With a new initiative it shows that the inner Mongolio could be just the beginning.
China’s solution for the problem of electric trucks
If the Mercedes-Benz electric truck surprised you, you will stay in shock After discovering the solution proposed by the Chinese firm Catl For the load problem of electric trucks.
It should be noted that Catl It is the most important battery manufacturer in the world, with a production above 37% of electric car batteries. If there was a company in the Tierra that could find a solution for this problem, that was Catl.
In parallel to the research and production of the batteries of electric cars, Catl He has also conducted studies on the problem of batteries of electric trucks. He kit The point is that electric trucks must stop to recharge their batteries before continuing their journey.
If there are no chargers or these take a long time, the logistics activity can be reduced. That is why Catl It has been analyzing a possible solution for electric trucks since 2023 that could also be the definitive one: the exchange of batteries.
If instead of waiting for a new load, the driver or the driver only has to change the battery, the waiting time is minimal, not to mention that he would no longer need loaders in real time, at least not with such insistence.
China proposes the use of interchangeable batteries in electric trucks
With this concept in the sight, Catl He has presented to the world a battery designed for electric trucks called 75#. This type of battery offers a lower life cycle cost per ton and km of the industry.
Besides, Catl He assures that he can save up to 0.076 euros per kilometers if we compare it with the consumption of a diesel truck. Therefore, if the vehicle toured around 100,000 km in one year, the annual savings would translate into 7374 euros.
Catl will open 300 stations under these terms
When the battery runs out, the driver will only have to replace it with another in a process that lasts just five minutes. The battery exchange stations will offer their service to 95% of the market trucks.
For its part, the firm plans to establish a wide network, with 300 stations scheduled in 13 of the most industrialized regions of China. The funeral farewell of combustion trucks in Chinathat opens the way to electrification of your fleets. Meanwhile, Europe advances towards the future of heavy transport with this shocking idea.
