It is obvious that our government is steaming ahead in favor of electric vehicles. But is it also obvious that this will ultimately be the main technology powering our motorways? Let’s discuss electric vehicles in the diesel market and the pros and cons of each technology in these applications.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The specifications <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

let’s compare apples to apples or oranges and whatever metaphorical fruit you prefer. This is really where the rubber meets the road (pun intended). Will electric motors be better? Will they just blow out the diesel engine and leave all the competition in the dust? The first thing we need to answer this question is data. I researched and got data from all over and compiled these tables. Here is a great start ????. On Semi-trucks and haulers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tesla vs Diesel Semi Results <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In my opinion, there is no clear winner here. I think diesel engines will remain the main market choice for some time. All of this hoopla about the electric revolution is true but that future is in the distant future. We have another working lifetime before we see these changes. Exciting for our grandkids. ????<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Limits to electric in the heavy-duty diesel market<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The biggest setback for electric semis and hauling vehicles is the mile or Km range. Traditional diesel transfer trucks travel a couple of thousand miles if needed on a single fill-up. The electric big rig is limited by battery capacity. The other issue you create when you increase the battery size is the weight of the battery itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We see a path over time to 1,000 km range for an heavy duty truck.<\/em><\/p>Elon Musk<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Even with this bright future, there are limits to what can be done to the weight of the battery and the need for space and load. I am hopeful for the future of electric but I think we have a while before the market is majority electric. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the US, Class 8 trucks are required to weigh less than 80,000 lbs including the load.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Musk said Tesla might have to give up a ton of capacity:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You are able to carry basically the same cargo as a diesel truck. We think that maybe there\u2019s 1-ton penalty. Maybe. At this point, we think that we can have less than 1-ton cargo reduction and we think long term it\u2019s going to be zero cargo reduction for electric trucks.<\/p>Elon Musk<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

So in order to increase distance, you have to increase weight. For the shippers and the entire market to build around 53\u2019 trailers, this will be a process to adapt to what Tesla is offering. While I\u2019m quite sure a few companies will take advantage of these tesla semis but ultimately it will take the market many years to adapt to electric.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Electric vs the small diesel market <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

How about the small diesel market? The Power-stroke. Farmers and companies alike sing diesels to power their light-heavy needs. from road call vehicles to trucks pulling horses the need is great for light diesel engines. Could the tesla cybertruck disrupt the market? Let’s look at the specs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Specifications <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s compare the cybertruck now with the lighter Ford powerstroke. I think this is a fair fight. These two options are fairly comparable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ford vs tesla results.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We see they both have a lot going for them but the main issue is consumer application. What is the main reason people are buying diesel over a gas vehicle now? Is it reliability, fuel costs, or longevity? The Tesla wins on many fronts that may draw away some customers looking for the horsepower and toque alone but I believe it stalls out with the ultimate factor for truck buyers in the category, tow capacity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Limitation to the electric <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

it\u2019s obvious that the towing capacity is going to be a big problem in this market. If you can\u2019t haul you\u2019re really out in this game, because, most of what goes on is pulling trailers when you\u2019re talking about a light diesel engine. The maximum towing capacity of the Tesla is 14,000 pounds which is just not going to cut it. I don\u2019t believe this will remain this way. As for now, this is a nonstarter for most farmers, and businesses need a vehicle to fit this application. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diesel companies are pushing ahead<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In an article by forbes.com, the CEO of Cummins seemed very confident that diesel power would be around for well into the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teslas won\u2019t drive our economy,\u201d he says. \u201cThey\u2019ll drive rich people.\u201d <\/p>Thomas Linebarger, Cummins CEO <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

They have so many systems in place to overcome issues and make advancements to the diesel power train. We are into the 1000th iteration of the diesel engine and we haven\u2019t reached the potential of power or efficiency yet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is so much infrastructure and expertise built into the diesel engine market at this point it is going to take a long time for electric vehicles to make sense to these types of consumers. All of these companies are working hard to make sure they are viable and for now, that is the diesel engine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summing up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The electric market is exploding and it\u2019s bringing about some amazing advancements in the truck and trailer and light truck applications but as for now, we see that they just can\u2019t compete with it comes to diesel. I look forward to seeing what Tesla and other elect manufacturers come up with in the future. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
