奔驰首次推出全电动重卡，续航200公里
戴姆勒不会让特斯拉的电动车创造更多的“第一”；德国公司透露奔驰苯城市ETruck，一个全电动汽车以总容许量量26吨（29吨），成为第一个清洁能源大车头。 顾名思义，它是设计用于城市环境，重型运输，短距离冲刺。由于其最大射程为200公里（约124英里）。原型城市ETruck 的特写，但我们无法想象开始大规模生产和实际使用的奔驰城市ETruck会发展成什么样。 不过，从戴姆勒击败特斯拉的原型城市ETruck 车头的可以看出，除了城市ETruck 车头， 戴姆勒的同时在开发一个6-tonne的纯电动卡车（约7吨），目前这是产品在测试客户，其中包括欧洲快递公司爱马仕。 特斯拉总裁伊隆，上周表示该公司正在开发一个电动特斯拉迷你运输车，计划最早明年投放市场。
除了排放和环境效益，使用车辆像城市ETruck，对城市和居民都有直接的好处：减少噪音和空气污染。每个人都有清晰和痛苦的记忆，当你附近有一辆洒水大卡车，正好驶过你的身边，或停在路口等红绿灯巨大的隆隆的内燃机噪音和刺鼻的没有充分燃烧的油味，足以让你窒息和昏倒。 规模化生产的城市ETruck，对于戴姆勒似乎在技术上并没有什么障碍，用电池为油罐车车辆提供动力，最大问题和限制就是电池，以及动力电池大量使用和运行的可能的效益成本比。在一份新闻稿中戴姆勒表示， 他们预计其电池到2025的价格可以下降2.5倍，而电池的性能会有同比例增加。 Mercedes Debuts All-Electric Heavy Truck Range is just 124 miles Sorry, Tesla. It looks like Mercedes has beaten you to the punch on debuting an all-electric truck. The German automaker just revealed a heavy electric truck, which features technology that could go into production by the beginning of the next decade.
The Mercedes-Benz Urban eTruck is the first fully electric truck intended for heavy distribution operations, according to the automaker, and it’s capable of hauling 26 metric tons. “Electric drive systems previously only saw extremely limited use in trucks,” Daimler truck boss Wolfgang Bernhard said in a recent statement. “Nowadays costs, performance and charging times develop further so rapidly that now there is a trend reversal in the distribution sector: the time is ripe for the electric truck.” If you’re thinking this is a truck that will haul large loads across the country, think again. The truck is intended for short, local trips, as it only has a range of up to 124 miles. Three lithium-ion battery modules supply power to the truck and are housed in a crash-proof location inside the frame. Electric motors sit adjacent to the wheel hubs. “We intend to establish electric driving as systematically as autonomous and connected driving,” Bernhard said. Mercedes tested autonomous heavy-duty trucks on the roads of Europe this year. Even before introducing the Urban eTruck, Daimler had already debuted other zero-emissions trucks. Daimler, which owns a nearly-90-percent stake in Mitsubishi‘s spin-off truck brand Fuso, has been testing the Fuso Canter E-Cell light distribution truck in consumer trials since 2014. Its hydrogen fuel cell trucks traveled over 31,000 miles in just one year of testing, despite the fact that the truck also offers a limited range. Mercedes says it gets over 62 miles of range. Earlier this month, Tesla announced it wanted to move into the heavy-duty and commercial transportation space with an electric semi-truck. It says a heavy-duty truck will be ready to unveil next year. No timeline has been given for a rollout plan, but Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the trucks are in an early stage of development.
