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.

Hyundai is taking important steps to increase electric vehicle production and reduce costs! According to the South Korean press, the automobile giant is developing a &#8220;unibody chassis&#8221; system similar to Tesla.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-39128 size-full" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Hyundai-Kona-2024-1.jpg" alt="" width="981" height="492" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Hyundai-Kona-2024-1.jpg 981w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Hyundai-Kona-2024-1-300x150.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Hyundai-Kona-2024-1-768x385.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 981px) 100vw, 981px" />
&nbsp;
South Korean Hyundai is working on modeling a new electric vehicle production method inspired by Tesla&#8217;s &#8216;Giga Casting&#8216;. The new method aims to significantly reduce the cost and increase the production speed significantly.
Since it was introduced at the Fremont factory in 2020, the method has also begun to be implemented in Tesla&#8217;s facilities in China and Germany. Both the front and rear chassis of Model Y and the new Model 3 are produced in one piece. In this way, it is estimated that Tesla spends approximately 10 hours to produce a vehicle from scratch, while Volkswagen needs almost three times more time.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-39132 size-full" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Tesla-Gigafactory-1-1.jpg" alt="" width="978" height="492" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Tesla-Gigafactory-1-1.jpg 978w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Tesla-Gigafactory-1-1-300x151.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Tesla-Gigafactory-1-1-768x386.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 978px) 100vw, 978px" />
Hyundai has decided to develop its own casting, processing and assembly facility with production planning for 2026. The company also applied for the &#8220;hypercasting&#8221; trademark to the US Patent and Trademark Office on August 21, 2023. Of course, Hyundai is not the only company that wants to implement this production technique. Many brands, including automobile manufacturers such as Volkswagen and Volvo, are involved in similar initiatives.
