Full HD Moria Bennett Jan 7, 2016 ] The electric truck startup company Tevva Motors (formerly Teva Motors) is currently working to commercialize range-extended electric trucks in the UK market — and recently showed off its latest offering via a video posted online. The new range-extended electric truck comes in at around 7.5 tons, is manufactured by the Chinese company JAC, features an all-electric range of 130 kilometers (~80 miles), a much larger absolute-range once the diesel range extender is factored in, and can be recharged in roughly 3 hours using a 3-phase high-power outlet. Altogether, that makes for a pretty impressive-sounding truck — no doubt, why Tevva Motors is getting so much interest and support from UPS. UPS is currently performing a pilot study with one of the range-extended (REx) electric truck prototypes, which will lead (or not lead) to the company utilizing the technology on a broader scale. One of the idea’s behind the use a range extender is that, while carbon emissions (and pollution) will still be emitted by the truck, the timing of these emissions can be easily controlled. In other words, rather than spewing diesel pollution in urban and residential areas, the use of the range-extender can be limited to freeways, rural areas, etc. [© cleantechnica.com] https://www.tevva.com/#!read-more/ibans Technical Specifications Vehicle chassis: Current vehicles are based on a 7.5 tonne N2 chassis, fitted with either a box body or flatbed Performance: Maximum speed: electronically limited to 50mph (80kph) Maximum torque: 1800Nm (1325 lb ft) from 0 rpm Range: Electric-only range: 100 miles (160km) (Nominal) with PREMS technology Combined range: (RE & EV): 250 miles (400km) w/ 40l fuel tank* | 370 miles (600km) w/ 75l fuel tank* *Range is dependent on vehicle use, load and duty cycle Motor, Range Extender and Battery details: Electric motor output: 120kW (161hp) Traction battery pack capacity: 66kWh, 104 200Ah cells in series Traction battery pack voltage: 350 Volts Battery pack life: 7-10 years (2000 cycles) Range Extender (RE): 1.6L Diesel ...
