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.

Tesla

When Elon Musk first unveiled Tesla&#8217;s sophisticated electric pickup truck Cybertruck back in 2019, the bulletproof glass breaking during a stunt was the highlight of the event. In a matter of hours, everyone on the internet was talking about Tesla and their instant failure to deliver a bulletproof vehicle. But is it really over? Or is the Cybertruck really bulletproof?
Tesla Cybertruck&#8217;s glass windows and stainless steel body are actually designed in a way that allows the vehicle to be bulletproof. The pickup truck&#8217;s body panels are made of a <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.tesmanian.com/blogs/tesmanian-blog/tesla-patents-ultra-hard-cold-worked-steel-alloy-for-cybertruck-production" target="_blank" rel="noopener">special ultra-hard cold-rolled steel alloy</a> that offers high rigidity. Cybertruck&#8217;s glass windows, which Elon Musk calls &#8216;Tesla Armor Glass&#8217;, are also strong enough to stop any 9mm rounds but most likely there won&#8217;t be any armor rating.
The information we heard over the years clearly shows that Tesla Cybertruck will be a hard-to-beat vehicle. It will definitely offer some serious protection, it might even be considered a bulletproof car. But Tesla&#8217;s focus will be on its practicality and simplicity. It&#8217;s a useful all-electric pickup truck that you can go to work, or go on a vacation. It&#8217;s not a boring pickup truck your uncle drives for the last couple of decades. Cybertruck will appeal to all kinds of customers. That&#8217;s what makes this truck special, not its somehow bulletproof body panels or unbreakable(!) glass windows.

<h3>What About The Cybertruck Exoskeleton?</h3>
As we already know, Tesla scrapped the idea of an exoskeleton body for the Cybertruck. Instead, Texas-based EV maker will use a body structure similiar to Model Y, which consists of huge single-piece aluminum castings that will function as the body of the vehicle and stainless steel panels will be installed over the body.
This body structure will definitely make Tesla&#8217;s job easier. Over the last couple of years, Tesla has familiarized itself with huge die-cast machines and it&#8217;s getting easier for Tesla to manufacture new vehicles with this same underpinnings. Tesla even ordered its famous supplier iDRA to build 9,000-tonne casting machinery for the Cybertruck production. Instead of engineering an exoskeleton body from stratch, EV maker chose an easier path to <a href="https://www.licarco.com/news/where-is-tesla-cybertruck-made-cybertruck-production-plant">Cybertruck&#8217;s production</a>.

Is The Cybertruck Bulletproof? | Tesla Armor Glass | Exoskeleton Body?

It&#8217;s been more than three and a half years since Tesla unveiled Cybertruck. <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/news/how-many-tesla-cybertruck-orders-are-there" target="_blank" rel="noopener">1.7 million people pre-ordered</a> this radically designed all-electric pickup. But the launch day is nowhere near to being announced. There have been some rumors regarding Tesla canceling the Cybertruck project. Even a highly popular YouTuber made a video with the title of &#8216;<a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1B9mfn5NCcw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tesla Just Cancelled the Cybertruck</a>&#8216;. Is it true that Tesla canceled this highly anticipated project? Let&#8217;s do some fact-checking!
Tesla didn&#8217;t cancel or even consider canceling the Cybertruck. In fact, Elon Musk officially confirmed on multiple occasions that the electric pickup truck will go on sale in 2023. Although the Cybertruck is a very hard vehicle to put into mass production as its unique cold metal exoskeleton structure, Tesla is eager to start producing its first pickup truck. It&#8217;ll most likely be the most popular vehicle launched in 2023.

Tesla originally aimed to start Cybertruck production in 2021. The never-ending delays and Elon Musk&#8217;s &#8220;difficult to build&#8221; prompts regarding the Cybertruck convinced lots of people that the Cybertruck is really dead. Truth be told, it&#8217;s too hard to engineer and design a vehicle like that. But Tesla is publicly saying that design-wise, Cybertruck development is finalized. Tesla fans have been posting new Cybertruck prototype photos and videos almost every day since the beginning of this year. After a long wait, the Cybertruck is definitely coming out soon!
