This truck solves the main problem of electric transport for transport – a small range. It does not need an overly large and heavy battery.
Laying power cables also requires significant costs, but in the future this will save on electric vehicle production. Also, trucks don’t need to stop to recharge, which will reduce shipping time.
The current in the wires can charge the battery, which can then be used in areas without overhead wires. According to estimates, such costs can pay for themselves in 15 years.
The truck offered is CRRC Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive Research Institute Co. Created by In addition, other companies from Germany and Sweden are working on similar vehicles.
The truck was demonstrated on China’s first electric highway, a road in Hunan province. In the future, it is planned to develop the technology in other parts of the country.
