New 40 heap gross weight: electrical truck and trailer driving in the Black Forest

Stuttgart/ Gaggenau– A brand-new stage in the multi-year trial run of the eActros at Logistik Schmitt in the northern Black Forest has actually just recently started: The battery-electric Eactros has actually been authorized as a 40- tonne truck and is now in sustainable usage. Consumers can currently buy the cars and truck in this setup. Considering that the start of trials in 2019, the eActros has actually now covered more than 70,00 0 kilometers on more than 7,00 0 gos to. It continues to transfer transmission real estates and axle parts in a three-shift operation to Daimler’s truck plants in Rastatt and Gaggenau, covering to 300 kilometers daily.

Steffen Maier, Head of Customer Driver Testing, Mercedes-Benz Trucks: “Early, thorough interaction with consumers is a vital part of the advancement of our cars. For this factor, our group has actually been supporting the useful usage of the eActros in Logistik Schmitt considering that2019 After the start of series production in October in 2015, we are now broadening the possible applications of the eActros action by action. We are anticipating comprehensive tests of the battery-electric truck in the northern area of the Black Forest.”

Rainer Schmitt, handling partner of Logistik Schmitt: “The EActros as a truck is perfect for our application. Together with the trailer, the electrical truck not just uses a greater weight, however likewise a bigger transportation volume. This suggests that we can carry two times as lots of providers more on the exact same journeys.”

Towing a trailer with the battery-electric eActros

To tow a trailer over 10 loads, the pulling vehicle should be geared up with a braking gadget by law. This constant braking system is executed on the eActros for the trailer brake (High Power Brake Resistor, or HPR for brief) for battery electrical cars. The eActros 300 (6 × 2) pulling trailer at Logistik Schmitt is geared up with a medium trailer coupling from Rockinger. The trailer is a mid-axle trailer with a drape side body from Junge. It has an internal length of 7280 mm and an allowable weight of 18 heaps.
The eActros batteries include either 3 (eActros 300) or 4 battery packs (eActros 400), each with a set up capability of 112 kWh. [1] with a functional capability of about 97 kWh [2] Offer With 4 battery packs, the eActros 400 has a variety of approximately 400 km [3] The technological heart of the electrical truck is the drive system, a strong electrical axle with 2 electrical motors integrated with a two-speed transmission. 2 liquid cooled motors supply a constant output of 330 kW and a peak output of 400 kW. In addition, with an anticipatory driving design, electrical energy can be recuperated. The energy acquired throughout braking is fed back into the eActros batteries and is then offered once again for launch. Ectros can be charged up to 160 kW: 3 battery loads require more than an hour at a basic DC quickly charging station with a charging current of 400 A to be charged from 20 to 80 percent. [4]
