Chinese automaker Geely has made a breakthrough in commercial transportation by unveiling its new electric tractor, the Yuan Yuan Xinghan H, and setting a new world record for range.
This innovative truck, equipped with four powerful electric motors and a large battery, demonstrated impressive results during testing. Fully loaded (42 tons), it traveled over 1,500 kilometers on a single methanol refueling. The average fuel consumption was just about 50 liters per 100 kilometers, making it one of the most economical trucks in its class.
Geely’s achievement opens new avenues for the development of eco-friendly commercial transport. Electric trucks are becoming increasingly popular due to their high efficiency and low operating costs. Geely’s record shows that this technology is ready for mass adoption and can compete with traditional diesel trucks.
Further increases in battery capacity and energy density will allow for even greater range in electric trucks. The development of charging station networks will make using electric trucks even more convenient. The use of lighter and stronger materials will help reduce truck weight and enhance efficiency.
The record set by Geely is an important step toward creating more environmentally friendly and sustainable transportation. This technology has significant potential to reduce harmful emissions and improve air quality in urban areas.
