Domestic and foreign car companies occupy the market for pure electric trucks
Garrett Moore is a staff member of the Park Management Office in Roanoke, Virginia. He has always been obscured and he has recently received unprecedented attention for driving a garbage truck. "When an old woman passed the car, she couldn't help but stop and jerked at me," said Garrett Moore. United States Early adopters pure electric truck Garrett Moore was concerned because the car he was driving had a top speed of only 30 miles per hour. In addition, Garrett Moore's low-speed pickups are somewhat different from previous large-scale garbage collectors. The Roanoke municipal government decided to invest in pure electric garbage collection vehicles not to joke with the public. From the change in operating costs, we can see the benefits of investing in the car. It is reported that the vehicle's monthly operating cost is only 8 US dollars, far below the operating costs of gasoline vehicles. However, this kind of pure electric truck does have some disadvantages. The first is that the speed is too low, followed by the limited daily mileage. Ideally, the car can run for 50 miles on a single charge for 8 hours. Actually, the current driving range is only 24 miles per 8-hour charge. This pure electric truck is one of the two new electric vehicles purchased by the vehicle management department in Roanoke to achieve “clean and green†environmental goals, and the other is used as a municipal law enforcement vehicle. Ken Bernard, head of vehicle management at Roanoke, said: “In May, the pickup bought from California Miles Industries with $24,000 and was equipped with a 72-volt battery system. Keke is the first city in Virginia to use pure electric vehicles. At present, the park management department is responsible for garbage collection in nine urban parks, which are expected to be equipped with pure electric garbage trucks." Just one month after the pure electric pickup truck in Roanoke, June 19, the pure electric ZeroTruck purchased from Electrorides in Santa Monica, California, has been delivered, making it the city’s first The zero-emission medium-duty truck is also the first pure-electric truck produced and sold in the United States. Rick Sykes, director of vehicle management at Roanoke, said: “The introduction of pure electric trucks is a plan to reduce tailpipe emissions and reduce oil use. The pure electric mid-sized card will be put into operation by the water conservancy department.†ZeroTruck was developed on the basis of the Isuzu N series chassis. ZeroTruck's power performance has been greatly improved compared to vehicles put in by Roanoke. It uses UQMPowerPhase100 motors, power up to 55 horsepower, and lithium batteries are charged each time. Can drive 100 miles at a time. Ted Abramson, CEO of Electrorides, said: “ZeroTruck makes zero emissions a reality, which has an exemplary effect on other states and cities that are planning to use electric vehicles to reduce tailpipe emissions.†Therefore, ZeroTruck has become an alternative energy vehicle. Listed in the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) procurement list. Electric truck market favored Pure electric trucks have been put into use, allowing more electric car manufacturers to see the bright future of the American electric vehicle market. ZAP, the pioneer of electric vehicles in the US, has decided that most suppliers of U.S. suppliers will provide most of the spare parts needed for four-wheel electric pickups. This move shows that the company is currently working hard to bring its business focus back to the United States, especially electric trucks. In doing so, ZAP saw the U.S. government’s support for electric vehicles. In March, the federal government announced the establishment of 2.4 billion U.S. dollars of federal funds dedicated to the research and development of next-generation plug-in electric vehicles and advanced battery components, plus the Obama administration’s commitment to creating domestic employment opportunities and developing a “green†economy, and The government has made it clear that it will give priority to buying new energy vehicles produced in the United States. These policies prompted ZAP to develop plans for producing pure electric trucks in the United States. Looking beyond the ZAP family in the US electric truck market, Smith Electric Motors USA is a division of the Tanfield Group (the Tanfield Group is a UK manufacturer of aerial work platforms, airports and industrial tractors), and the company has partnered with Ott Industries. (A modified car company) jointly introduced the United States' first pure electric aerial vehicle, which was unveiled on June 22 at the executive meeting of the Williamsburg Electric Power Team in Virginia. The truck was designed and developed by Smith Electric Vehicles USA and Smith Electric UK and Ott Industrial. The first car will be delivered to Pacific Gas and Power Company (PG&E) for equipment overhaul and emergency work at PG&E's service area in northern and central California. It is understood that the pure electric light truck can reach a top speed of 50 miles per hour. After charging the battery for more than 100 miles, the maximum capacity is 7400 kg. At present, the company is upgrading assembly line and strengthening supply chain management. Domestic pure electric truck ready to go Compared with the United States just beginning to promote pure electric trucks, European pure electric trucks developed earlier. As early as December 2006, TNT Group, the express mail service provider, commissioned a pure electric truck from Smith Electric Vehicles in the United Kingdom, and subsequently ordered 50 vehicles to be put into the British fleet. In May 2008, TNT Group invested two pure-electric light trucks developed by Dongfeng Motor Co., Ltd. in Wuhan for the first time for postal courier in Wuhan. This is China's first pure-electric light truck that has been put into trial operation. It is also the first light truck in China to achieve zero carbon emissions. At the Shanghai International Auto Show in 2009, a pure electric light truck exhibited by JAC was a highlight at the show. Xu Guangye, sales manager of the international company's car department of Jianghuai Automobile Co., Ltd., said: "This car is our cooperation with Canadian manufacturers and is assembled in Canada. At present, the car has been trial run in small quantities in the United States and Mexico. Now we are developing. The 3rd generation product has upgraded the battery layout, driving panel, and mold, and is expected to be assembled in the country in the future. However, the product has not yet been announced and it will take a while to bring it to market. According to Xu Guangying, this car focuses on cities. The logistics vehicle market is in line with the characteristics of the pure electric light truck that does not have a long driving range. It is understood that the car equipped with lead-acid batteries, driving range of 100 to 120 kilometers. Xu Guangying revealed that what type of battery is assembled is due to cost-effective considerations. Lead-acid battery technology is mature, and its price is relatively cheaper than lithium battery, but its volume and weight are relatively large. Fukuda's pure electric light trucks and heavy trucks are also under intense testing and development. Assistant director of the Fudan Automobile Engineering Research Institute and Director of the Type II Vehicle Room of the Fudan Automobile Engineering Research Center told reporters: “Fukuda's lithium battery pure electric light truck is in the experiment. It has been announced at the end of May and is expected to be launched in September and October. To the market, in the future, the car will serve as a municipal sanitation vehicle for Beijing residents. It is understood that FAW Jiefang also launched a pure electric light truck product and has obtained an announcement. Many companies have introduced similar products this year. It seems that pure electric trucks have begun to have markets at home and abroad.

ZAP CEO Steve Schneider said: “Although big car manufacturers are also paying attention to electric cars, ZAP is the only company that can produce low-cost electric cars. We hope to produce a lot of them in the United States. 'madeinUSA' products."
