The battery-electric Ectros from Mercedes-Benz Trucks was just recently authorized for useful screening as a 40- tonne truck and remains in routine usage at Logistik Schmitt. These settings can be purchased by clients in the future. At Logistik Schmitt, the eActros continues to carry transmission real estates and axle elements in a three-shift operation to the Daimler truck plants in Rastatt and Gaggenau, concealing to 300 kilometers daily.
Steffen Maier, Head of Customer Driver Testing, Mercedes-Benz Trucks: “Early, extensive interaction with clients 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 given that2019 After the start of series production in October in 2015, we are now slowly broadening the possible applications of the eActros. We are anticipating substantial tests of the battery-electric truck in the northern area of the Black Forest.”
” The Eactros as a truck is perfect for our usage. Together with the trailer, the electrical truck not just provides a greater weight, however likewise a bigger transportation volume. In this method, we can transfer two times as lots of trucks on the very same paths,” states Rainer Schmitt, handling partner of Logistik Schmitt.
In order to tow trailers over 10 heaps, the tractors of heavy roadway trains need to be geared up with a braking gadget according to the law. This constant braking system is executed on the eActros for trailer braking for battery electrical automobiles. The eActros 300 (6 × 2) hauling trailer at Logistik Schmitt has a main axle trailer drawback. The trailer is a main axle trailer with a “drape” style. It has an internal length of 7280 millimeters and an allowable weight of 18 loads.
The eActros batteries include either 3 (eActros 300) or 4 battery packs (eActros 400), each with a set up capability of 112 kWh and a functional capability of around 97 kWh. With 4 battery packs, the eActros 400 has a series of approximately 400 km. The drive system has a strong electrical axle and 2 electrical motors linked to a two-speed transmission. The 2 liquid-cooled engines offer a constant output of 330 kW (449 hp) and a peak output of 400 kW (544 hp).
In addition, with the wanted driving design, electrical energy can be recuperated through regrowth. The energy gotten throughout braking is fed back into the eActros batteries and is then readily available once again for launch. The eActros can be charged up to 160 kW: 3 battery loads need more than an hour at a basic DC quickly charging station with a charging current of 400 A to charge from 20 to 80 percent.
Later, a conceptual contrast in between the battery-electric eActros, which is utilized by Logistik Schmitt, and the state-of-the-art truck of the “eWayBW” task is likewise prepared in the location. Daimler Truck itself does not prepare any innovative trucks and relies on batteries and hydrogen for a long time.
