Analytical review of modern energy efficient trucks with electric drive wheels

The article provides an overview and analysis of modern energy efficient trucks with traction electric drive wheels. A description is presented indicating the main technical characteristics of the model range of energy efficient trucks with electric drive wheels, such companies as DAF Trucks, Mercedes-Benz, Daimler Trucks North America, Kenworth, Mack Trucks, Quantron, Renault Trucks, Scania, Xos, Volvo. The results of the review and analysis of promising technology made it possible to identify the dependence of the mass of the car on the power of the electric motor. A comparison is made between the developed prototypes of energy efficient trucks and foreign energy efficient analogues. Based on the analysis and review, conclusions are formulated about the selected power and weight indicators for newly developed energy efficient trucks.
