HiPhi

🟢Announcing that it will convert diesel mining trucks to electric in 2021 together with #ABB, #Hitachi shared that the first vehicle has been produced.
⛏️The giant truck started to be used in a copper-gold mine in Zambia. It climbs with an electrical connection that feeds the battery, similar to a trolleybus, while going to pick up load. When turning downhill while loaded, it recharges its battery thanks to regenerative braking.
🔋In this way, ABB and Hitachi completed the transformation with a smaller one instead of a megawatt-hour battery. They made this possible thanks to the regenerative braking ability of the huge electric motors seen in the prototype photo.
🔌Mining truck&#8217;s previously had a giant internal combustion engine with 16 cylinders and 2,534 horsepower. It will relatively reduce the impact of mining on the environment by ending diesel consumption and zeroing out emissions after the conversion to electric.

BP Pulse, the EV charging division of BP, has announced that Europe’s first public charging corridor for medium and heavy-duty electric trucks has been built along a significant logistics route in Germany.
The Rhine-Alpine corridor is one of Europe’s busiest freight routes connecting key North Sea ports in Belgium and the Netherlands with the Mediterranean port of Genoa in Italy connecting through a network of roads stretching in total 1,300km. The new EV charging corridor along this route will have eight e-truck charging stations with ultra-fast 300kw charging sockets.
BP Pulse does not disclose the number of chargers for each station, however, the published press photo shows two chargers, with three connection ports each.
The new chargers have been installed at service stations operated by Aral, BP’s local German retail brand. Each 300kW charging port can charge more than 20 electric trucks daily and can charge up to 200 kilometers (124 miles) in around 45 minutes using ultra-fast charging ports.
There are currently six charging stations along a 600-kilometer stretch of the Rhine-Alpine corridor and another two will be opened at some point in the future. After the final two stations, an electric truck will cover over 600 kilometers across Germany.
<h2>270,000 e-trucks will be on the road by 2030</h2>

Johannes Pallasch, from Germany&#8217;s National Centre for Charging Infrastructure, part of the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport said that e-trucks will have a significant role in reducing  CO2 emissions in road freight transport. Also stated that &#8220;As with passenger cars, the switch to electromobility can only succeed with a reliable and needs-based charging infrastructure. With today&#8217;s opening, Aral is taking an important step in this direction.&#8221;
It is estimated that there will be more than 270,000 e-trucks on the road by 2030 in Europe. Those trucks on the road will require up to 140,000 public and destination electric charging ports.
Nigel Head, EV truck director for Europe at BP Pulse. “This is a significant moment for E-Trucks in Europe and an important step in our journey towards helping to decarbonize truck transportation. By electrifying this stretch of the Rhine-Alpine corridor with ultra-fast charging, bp is enabling EV Truck charging beyond “back to base” whilst rapidly learning customer insights which will directly inform our longer-term European network and proposition. Ultra-fast charging in the right locations, combined with depot and destination charging, is critical infrastructure to accelerate the electrification transition, unlocking the economic and environmental benefits of low-carbon commercial road freight and transport.”

Bp Pulse to Build Europe’s First Charging Corridor for e-Trucks

Volvo

While Volvo Cars is trying to find ways to create an EV charging corridor in the Pacific Northwest, Volvo Trucks is also attempting to build another charging network for its all-electric semi-trucks in production and it has already started making partnerships with key players.
Volvo is about to ally with Shell Recharge Solutions (formerly known as Greenlots), TEC Equipment, Affinity Truck Center, and Western Truck Center. The partnership aims to build a widely accessible medium- and heavy-duty electric vehicle (MHD EV) charging network along with the most important port cities and industrial centers throughout California.
The California Energy Commission (CEC) under BESTFIT has granted the Volvo Group a $2 million endowment to begin “the Electrified Charging Corridor Project”.  The project will help to overcome the problems of long-range MHD EV deployments and slow widespread adoption.
<h2 style="font-weight: 400;">The Electrified Charging Corridor Project in California</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-16869" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/volvo-trucks-showcases-new-zero-emissions-truck-T2022-78897-1024x647.webp" alt="" width="750" height="474" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/volvo-trucks-showcases-new-zero-emissions-truck-T2022-78897-1024x647.webp 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/volvo-trucks-showcases-new-zero-emissions-truck-T2022-78897-300x190.webp 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/volvo-trucks-showcases-new-zero-emissions-truck-T2022-78897-768x485.webp 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/volvo-trucks-showcases-new-zero-emissions-truck-T2022-78897.webp 1440w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
Peter Voorhoeve, president of Volvo Trucks North America, explains the project’s goal as opening the door to a completely electrified freight future in which zero-tailpipe emission MHD EV trucks will be no longer limited to short-mileage and return-to-base operations and will reach far and wide across the state. He also stated that:
“We are excited to begin construction of the Electrified Charging Corridor Project this year in collaboration with these pioneering truck dealerships so that we can further support fleets in successfully integrating battery-electric trucks into their operations, including our Volvo VNR Electric model. With the support of the CEC helping to drive and manifest this project, we will see an accelerated progression with ripple effects across the industry.”
The Electrified Charging Corridor Project has three main targets for convenient charging. First, it will help small business fleets that will be in financial hardship if they make a major investment into the charging network. Secondly, the project will create opportunities for the fleets looking to pilot an MHD EV through rent or short-term leasing. And thirdly, fleets that need an OEM-neutral location to “opportunity charge” along their route will benefit from the charging network of Volvo Group.
CEC Commissioner Patty Monahan states that “The Energy Commission is thrilled to support the Electrified Charging Corridor Project, which will help California meet its goals for zeroing out tailpipe emissions from trucks.”
Volvo Trucks claims that the project will begin very quickly later this year with all five stations planned to be available by the end of 2023.
