64 tonne B-train tractor-trailer operated by Bison Transport. The 3-year project also will investigate the potential to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and airborne pollutants in Alberta’s freight transportation sector. million) to the AZETEC project, which is led by the Alberta Motor Transportation Association.
The Volvo Group, in collaboration with the Swedish Transport Administration, will study the potential for building electrified roads on which city buses can be charged inductively at the same time as the bus is in operation (dynamic charging). We are working on both a broad and a deep basis to develop the technology of tomorrow.
seconds and delivers an extendedrange of 700 km (435 miles). The rear seat space can transform into a dedicated mobile office, with personal mobile devices seamlessly connected to the passenger car, enabling a series of smart applications such as face recognition door opening, smart windows and vehicle and environment interfaces.
Sample layout of an extendedrange EV powertrain with FPLG modules. —Ulrich Wagner, DLR Director of Energy and Transport. By virtue of its versatile properties and depending on vehicle speed and driving characteristics, the settings of the DLR rangeextender can be adapted to deliver the optimum operating strategy.
Werner Enterprises, a premier transportation and logistics provider, is testing a 2019 Peterbilt 579 EV Class 8 electric truck for a year on a dedicated account in Southern California. Meritor supplies high-efficiency and lightweight axles, drivelines and brakes that maximize system efficiency, extendrange and increase payload.
sbaar ultra-fast bus charging stations ( earlier post ) for the HyperBus (Hybrid and Plug-in ExtendedRange) demonstration project in Gothenburg City. It can be divided into four sub-areas: demonstration of plug-in technology for hybrid buses; rapid-charge stations; tests in real city environments on existing bus routes; and.
Introduced early in 2021, the Xcelsior CHARGE NG bus incorporates three distinct technological advancements, including high-energy batteries that extendrange up to 13%; advanced protective battery packaging for easy installation and simpler serviceability; and a new lightweight electric traction drive system with up to 90% energy recovery.
Drivers of the simulator will experience a bus environment with hardware operating just as it would in a zero-emission, battery-electric Xcelsior CHARGE transit bus. The effect is full-visibility of the virtual environment, creating a near-identical driving experience complete with tactile sensations reflecting curb and roadside jostling.
Later this year, GM China will offer the Chevrolet Volt extended-range electric vehicle. GM will introduce a next generation of the EN-V, which was a centerpiece of its display at Expo 2010, for testing in a real-world environment.
As electric vehicles become more widely available, greater aluminum use to extendrange and help offset battery weight and cost will ensure consumers will still be able to choose high performing cars and trucks that are safe, fun to drive and better for the protection of the environment.
It complements Chevrolet’s growing range of electrified vehicles, including the Volt extended-range EV and the 2013 Malibu Eco with eAssist technology. Our global demo fleets continue to provide insight into the needs of electric vehicle customers living in urban environments. Chevrolet EN-V concept. Click to enlarge.

GM is embracing the use of communications standards that operate with optional data transports to enable smart charging and integration with the emerging smart grid. plug-in hybrids, extendedrange electric vehicles and battery electric vehicles) are smart loads, and so fall into the third element. PLC=Power Line Communications.
Behr-Getz was chosen to participate in Project Driveway because she would likely purchase a fuel cell vehicle out of concern for the environment and to reduce the nation’s use of petroleum. Feedback and learning from the Equinox fuel cell is being shared with the Volt development team.
Expanding established propulsion systems into a volume manufacturing environment. The Recovery Act awards for transportation electrification are, by category: Advanced Vehicle Electrification: $215.2 Electric Transportation Engineering Corp. gross vehicle weight) with a 100 mile range. UQM Technologies, Inc. Technology.
Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities. The Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities will receive funding to purchase battery electric buses, associated charging infrastructure and a back-up generator to maintain bus service in a disaster situation. Napa Valley Transportation Authority.
The project, supported by Transport for London, features a 12-month trial of 20 new plug-in hybrid (PHEV) Transit Custom vans that reduce local emissions by running solely on electric power for the majority of city trips such as deliveries or maintenance work. —Jim Farley, chairman and CEO, Ford of Europe.
One reason for that, Hayden noted, is that in San Francisco, transportation contributes more than 50% of the anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions.). Linguistically, they’re talking about “plug-ins” rather than quibbling about plug-in hybrids vs. extendedrange EVs.
The solar panel on the roof brings a number of benefits: drivers and vehicle owners benefit from greater range and lower operating costs. To save energy and extendrange, the SUSTAINEER is fitted with tires that have low rolling resistance. Intelligent software and communications solutions for sustainable delivery transport.
It’s creating a new vehicle called an extended-range electric vehicle." A nother goal of the campaign was to create a legislative environment which helped buyers make the jump to this new revolution in transportation. The Volt is not a hybrid, and it’s not a plug-in hybrid.
Even so, that’s way more battery than you’ll find on most e-bikes these days, and even if riders end up getting a third of that range, that’s still farther than just about anyone needs to ride their cargo e-bike in most situations.
CPI) shortly after GM selected CPI and its parent LG Chem as the provider for the Li-ion batteries for the ExtendedRange Electric Vehicle (E-REV) Chevy Volt. (GM consumer electronics the battery is in the same environment as people and automatically temperature controlled. ” Discharge was carried out at the rate of 30C.
It’s so smart, you guys It’s also worth noting that the CX01 is something of an “extendedrange” EV, instead of a “pure” BEV. The first is the “classic” version of sustainability, in that our choices need to sustain the planet and environment we live in. That’s because it uses a small, 1.4L
GM believes it can help speed up charging and acceleration and extendrange. ” Rather than adding more cooling circuits, as was done in the Bolt EV, you can use the drive unit as a cooler for the battery and “not be a slave to the environment of the ambient temperature,” as Grewe put it.
The head of Chryslers ENVI division, Lou Rhodes, told AutoblogGreen this morning that Chrysler is marketing this battery-only version of the van to commercial fleet customers who typically have shorter range requirements. The extended-range version will be focused on retail customers. Postal Service for mail delivery. "We
General Motors Chevy Volt series PHEV, which it calls "extendedrange electric vehicle" (EREV), part of "E-Flex" multi-fuel platform. The utility.will get a Ford plug-in hybrid vehicle by the end of this year and as many as 20 by some time in 2009 to test their durability, range and impact on the power grid, said Susan M.
If PHEVs became the major form of transportation, the use of fossil fuels would be cut dramatically. This is especially true in air, sea, and some ground transportation as well as in industrial processes. Since it can refuel from a standard household outlet and from a gasoline station, it needs no new infrastructure.
↓ ↑ report 4 jzj 11:02AM (4/13/2009) Ernie, indeed I have spoken to engineers: they are quite concerned regarding the future of EVs in various non-coordinated low-use environments pulling a tremendous amount of power at the same time. my idea is that it would work the way propane tanks work now.
