Heavy trucks are primarily powered by internal combustion engines , a major source of dangerous tailpipe pollution that contributes to several serious public health problems. To reduce tailpipe emissions, many truck manufacturers are building electric trucks that do not produce harmful gases. In addition, they are quieter and have a lower operating cost since electricity is cheaper than fuel.
However, electric trucks have large batteries that take a long time to recharge and sometimes experience problems such as reduced capacity and range.
Volvo has delivered three electric heavy haul trucks to Danfoss that will operate fixed routes between Danfoss sites in Denmark. One of the three electric trucks will operate 24 hours a day and five days a week with no significant downtime for charging.
The new 24-hour electric trucks will operate on a route between Danfoss facilities in Denmark and will feature advanced charging technology.
Each of the Danfoss sites will have customized superc C Level Executive List hargers from Danish company GodEnergi that will be used to rapidly charge the truck's battery during charging and discharging at each stop, which typically takes about 15 minutes.
Additionally, advanced charging technology and relatively short routes allow electric trucks to operate continuously, 24 hours a day, up to five days a week, only requiring extended overnight charging on weekends.
Torben Christensen, chief sustainability officer and head of global services at Danfoss, said in a statement : “The shift to electric vehicles is part of Danfoss' commitment to becoming a Scope 1 and 2 zero-carbon emitter by 2030. With these new Volvo e-trucks, we add additional speed to the decarbonization of Danfoss operations.
By transitioning our own fleet of transport vehicles to fully electric, we want to demonstrate to our customers and other companies around the world that it is challenging, but not impossible, to switch to electric transport vehicles and that it is essential if you want to decarbonize your business.”
The delivery of three electric trucks is part of a broader partnership between Volvo Trucks and Danfoss, focused on sustainable electric transport operations. After implementation, electric trucks will reduce Danfoss Scope 1 and 2 emissions in Denmark by 10% to 15%.
Additionally, Danfoss Editron supplies the on-board charger and electric power supply (OCEPS) to all Volvo electric trucks. The dual functionality of OCEPS provides 43 kW of power to charge the truck overnight in 8-9 hours. The 43 kW power also acts as an electric power take-off (ePTO) to power all-terrain vehicles such as excavators and wheel loaders.
Nine fully electric Volvo trucks will be in operation by 2024. With this transformation, Danfoss will be the first company in Denmark to operate 24 hours a day.
