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.

The 2024 BYD Han Has Officially Been Released | Starting At $25,000

Toyota received criticism for its advertisements a few years ago that referred to their electrically assisted vehicles as self-charging hybrids. The news is that a German bus will soon be refueling on a wireless ev charging highway in the city of Balingen. It is the newest step in turning that fantasy into a reality.
Even while the project is limited to a single bus, it is not difficult to see how the technology can eventually be used in vehicles and other places all over the world.
Governor of Michigan stated in December of last year that the state will investigate wireless in-road refueling on its roadways. If automobiles can charge while driving, their batteries may be smaller. It makes them lighter, more efficient, and much less expensive.
<h2>How It Works</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-31322 size-large" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Ekran-Resmi-2023-01-02-00.00.41-1024x575.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="421" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Ekran-Resmi-2023-01-02-00.00.41-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Ekran-Resmi-2023-01-02-00.00.41-300x168.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Ekran-Resmi-2023-01-02-00.00.41-768x431.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Ekran-Resmi-2023-01-02-00.00.41-1536x863.jpg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Ekran-Resmi-2023-01-02-00.00.41-2048x1150.jpg 2048w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Ekran-Resmi-2023-01-02-00.00.41-1568x881.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
Similar to how inductive charging on cell phones functions, so does automotive technology. Magnetic coils in the ground transmit electricity to a coil on the automobile through the air. Car static charge stations have been available for a while. The fact remains that charging highways are more complex and are still in the planning stages.
<h2>Wireless EV Charging System</h2>
For the Balingen project, Israeli firm Electreon and German firm EnBW have collaborated to install 0.6 mile/1 km of Electric Road System (ERS) along a section of German highway, as well as two static charging stations at spots where the bus usually stops along its route. The Electreon will build charging infrastructure, which will get up to $3.2 million in funding.

At EnBW&#8217;s training facility in Karlsruhe, Germany, Electreon, and EnBW conducted a successful pilot study in the past. More recently, Eurovia and Electreon presented a proposal to electrify a section of the German highway in Bavaria.
While Stellantis tested a site modeled after a motorway in Italy to explore inductive charging, Sweden has its own wireless charging road project. Perhaps in ten years, the Mazda MX-30 with its meager 100 mile/160km range will be a design that was ahead of its time.

Germany To Test Wireless EV Charging On The Go

Mercedes-Benz

Daimler Trucks has opened the eTruck Charging Park in partnership with Netze BW, a subsidiary of EnBW.  The charging station is in Wörth, Germany and this is the place where the German company manufactures the all-electric eActros and eEconic trucks.
The charging station for e-trucks is equipped with a total of six different charging units from the companies Siemens, ABB, Ekoenergetyka, and Alpitronic, with outputs between 40 kW and 300 kW on an area of around 2,000 square meters.
Daimler Trucks claims that the customers will have an opportunity to experience the efficiency, range, and charging characteristics of the electric trucks. Also, this will allow customers to develop a complete electric solution for their personal needs with the assistance of the experts on site. The park is also equipped with a photovoltaic system on the roof and an energy storage system. As a “proof of concept”, it is intended to demonstrate possibilities for an efficient power supply for the charging columns.
<h2 style="font-weight: 400;">New Approach and Experience in the Transformation to e-Mobility</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-large wp-image-17899" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/22DT129_006-1024x682.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="500" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/22DT129_006-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/22DT129_006-300x200.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/22DT129_006-768x512.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/22DT129_006-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/22DT129_006-2048x1364.jpg 2048w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/22DT129_006-1568x1045.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
Michael Scheib, Head of Product Management at Mercedes-Benz Truck states that the main goal of the company is to offer our customers more than just an electric truck in the transformation to e-mobility.  He also says that the German manufacturer intends to provide an integrated solution that includes consulting and charging infrastructure solutions from a single source. “Our charging park for customers in Wörth is an integral part of this approach and shows customers, practically and tangibly, what charging infrastructure for their application can look like,” Scheib adds.
Axel Hausen, Head of eMob Major Projects, Marketing &amp; Special Projects at Netze BW’s Services Division, says: “Besides the technological development of all the necessary components, the development of the electric charging infrastructure is one of the factors crucial to the success of electric heavy-duty transport. Together with our parent company, EnBW, we are contributing a lot of expertise in charging infrastructure and the energy industry to the project. In Wörth, we are working with investors such as e-fleet operators, truck manufacturers, industrial and commercial customers, and municipalities to develop individual charging solutions, especially for depot logistics, that will help electric heavy-duty transport take off.”
Overall, opening a charging park seems to be a different approach to familiarizing potential customers with electric trucks and their specific needs. If this can help convince fleets to switch to EVs, we might see other manufacturers also building similar stations like this.
