| 摘要： | Operating the tipping body and a grab, if one happens to be fitted, will draw current from the traction battery, and shorten the truck's range between recharges. If a separate battery is fitted to power the body and grab, then that will add to the vehicle's cost and unladen weight in what is a notoriously payload-sensitive sector of the market. The weight of the traction battery itself will reduce carrying capacity, too. Then there is the risk to be considered of the battery getting damaged if the truck ventures off-road, the high-voltage safety hazard that may arise as a consequence, and the cost of getting the battery replaced, which could be substantial. Tipper owners operating in urban areas may have no choice but to go electric, however, as local emission restrictions tighten. Oxford is already busy turning some of its city centre streets into a zero-emission zone during the working day. Tender documents may demand to know what operators are doing to minimise their impact on the environment before contracts are let. Happily, opting for an electric solution brings certain operational advantages, points out Renault Trucks. Last year it supplied its first fully electric construction truck to French plant hire specialist Noblet Group (pictured, right). |
