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.

360° Tank Turn from Mercedes EQG!

An electric vehicle with an axial flux motor comes from Mercedes.
Launched last week, Mercedes&#8217; Vision One-Eleven concept excited us more with its engine technology than its extraordinary design. Because the axial flux motors that power the concept are coming to revolutionize the electric vehicle industry with their high-performance values.
The axial flux motor type, first patented by Nikola Tesla in 1889, was defeated by the radial flux, which is the most common DC motor type today. It can be designed and produced more easily, although it has existed for a long time. However, with the spread of electric vehicles and the increase in investment in the development of more efficient motors, the demand for the axial flux type has started to increase rapidly.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-37415 size-large" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/6a00d8341c4fbe53ef02c1a6cb2ca0200b-1536x794-1-1024x529.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="387" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/6a00d8341c4fbe53ef02c1a6cb2ca0200b-1536x794-1-1024x529.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/6a00d8341c4fbe53ef02c1a6cb2ca0200b-1536x794-1-300x155.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/6a00d8341c4fbe53ef02c1a6cb2ca0200b-1536x794-1-768x397.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/6a00d8341c4fbe53ef02c1a6cb2ca0200b-1536x794-1.jpg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
Mercedes, which bought the British startup YASA in 2021, is one of the automakers that carries out the most intensive work in this field. The German giant, which presented an axial flux model for the first time with Vision One-Eleven, can place the axial flux motors it has developed with one-third the weight and one-third volume compared to a normal electric motor, directly behind the wheel.
Axial flux motors, which have a much higher power and torque density compared to other types of motors, also reduce the need for rare elements and other expensive materials. The advantage of this torque-rich motor is that, unlike a radial flux motor, the electromagnetic flow flows parallel to the axis of rotation rather than perpendicular to it. In this way, it is stated that both power and torque production increase and it is possible to stay at high power/torque levels for a longer time.

Mercedes plans to launch the first axial flux motors, which it will produce at its own facilities in Berlin, in 2024, along with the electric G-Wagon, EQG. The EQG, which is expected to have four engines, will thus achieve both high performance and high maneuverability. With the increase in production volume, we will start to see axial flux engine/engines in many more Mercedes vehicles.

Electric Vehicle with Axial Flux Motors To Come From Mercedes

Mercedes-Benz EQG debuted last year at the Munich Mobility Show. According to Autocar, fully electric G Wagon will use a silicone-anode battery for boosting its range and performance. It will be the first Mercedes to feature a battery that uses a high-silicone anode. EQG will not only offer more range but also weigh much lighter and perform better.
Mercedes and Sila Nanotechnologies collaborated to develop high-silicone batteries in 2019. This year in May, two companies signed a supply agreement for future Mercedes EVs. The new battery cell with silicone anode can achieve a volumetric energy density of 800 Wh/l, according to Sila Nanotechnologies. German carmaker first used the new battery inside its astonishing EV concept called <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/mercedes-vision-eqxx/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vision EQXX</a>. This concept can offer more than 1,000 kilometers of range, thanks to a 100-kWh battery pack that weighs only 495 kilograms and occupies less space inside the vehicle&#8217;s body.
Lithium-ion battery cells mostly use natural/or synthetic graphite as the main material for the anode. China is the dominant supplier of both kinds of graphite. To decrease their dependency on China, western companies have been looking for an alternative. Silicone is the most viable option, as it can store significantly more lithium ions than graphite could. The first successful example of this anode will be used in the electric G Wagon. Sila Nanotechnologies and Mercedes will continue their partnership in other future Mercedes vehicles.
<h2>Electric G Wagon will go on sale in 2025</h2>

Fully electric EQG will not only feature an energy-dense battery but also an advanced powertrain. Electric G Wagon will have four electric motors, two on the front and the other two on the rear axle. These motors will carry their own gearboxes with fixed ratios. Mercedes is also going to include its most advanced software package that imitates the functionality of the gasoline-engined G Wagon&#8217;s three differential locks.
German carmaker is also looking for an opportunity to implement its newly-acquired British motor company YASA&#8217;s axial flux motors. These compact solutions can produce more torque and weigh less for boosting both range and performance, like the new battery. YASA supplied axial flux motors to Ferrari&#8217;s SF90 Stradale and Koenigsegg&#8217;s Regera. EQG could use the extra torque for an improved off-road experience. Unfortunately, G Wagon fans will have to wait for a couple of years to buy this fascinating piece of technology. Mercedes-Benz is planning to start building the first electric G-Class vehicle in 2025.
