The Tesla Semi passed tests, covering 923 km per day, on average over 18 days, during a “Run on Less” event last month organized by the North American Council for Freight Efficiency (NACFE).

Last month’s “Run on Less” event organized by the North American Council for Freight Efficiency (NACFE) proved a real success for Tesla Semi, according to full data released by the organization.

TESLA’s all-electric Class 8 truck, the Tesla Semi, shows range and charging efficiency advantages compared to competitors from well-known truck manufacturers such as Freightliner and Volvo.

A Class 8 truck is a large truck used for transporting goods with a payload of more than 15,000 kilograms. A Class 8 truck has a larger size and weight than other truck classes and requires a specific driver’s license to drive.

“Tesla is a leader in terms of efficiency and range,” John Boesel, CEO of Calstart, a clean transportation industry organization, told Reuters.Automotive NewsReferring to basic information “They are also the only group to demonstrate ultra-fast charging capabilities.”

For more than two weeks, the Trucking Research Group tracked a set of metrics as 22 trucks traveled across North America to fulfill actual orders. Data covering charging infrastructure Charging management truck performance Cost of Ownership and other indicators

Tesla Semi trucks purchased by PepsiCo cover more miles per day than any other vehicle. Over the course of the Run on Less event, data collected during the race showed that the Semi was able to travel approximately 643 km on a quick 80% charge in 45 minutes.

Tesla Semi PepsiCo covered 923 km per day over an average of 18 days, WattEV’s Nikola Tre BEV covered 410 km per day, OK Produce’s Freightliner eCascadia covered 291 km per day and Performance’s Volvo VNR Electric covered 923 km per day. Team with an average distance of approximately 281 km/day

To continue charging, a PepsiCo Tesla Semi can travel over 1,731 km per day with three quick charges using a 750kW charger, which brings the battery to about 47 per cent, then 89 per cent, then 52 per cent.

PepsiCo said 60 percent of the distance driven during the 18-day event involved a total vehicle weight of more than 32,658 kg. That’s a typical weight for the logistics industry. And it’s pretty close to the 37,194kg limit for the zero-emission semi-tractor and trailer combo.

While the Semi’s performance at Run on Less is good news, Tesla has produced only 60 to 70 Semis. According to Dan Priestley, Tesla’s senior manager of semi truck engineering, production will need to see a significant increase in order to In accordance with famous truck manufacturers

Reuters reports on December 1, 2022, Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla Inc, officially delivered the brand’s first electric truck, the Tesla Semi, to Pepsi and Frito-Lay, a subsidiary of PepsiCo. They did not reveal the truck’s price, production plans, payload size or other specifications.

PepsiCo ordered more than 100 Tesla Semis in 2017. Brewer Anheuser-Busch, United Parcel Service, Walmart all also ordered Semis, but they did not provide other details. Musk said the Semis have been tested at Tesla’s Sparks factory in Nevada and factory in Fremont, California, Tesla says it can drive 804 kilometers. Total payload is more than 36,000 kilograms. The Tesla Semi was first shown as a prototype in 2017. At the time, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said production would begin. in 2019, but Musk didn’t say how many trucks there were. Steven Williams, CEO of PepsiCo Foods North America, and Kirk Tanner, CEO of PepsiCo Beverages North America, appeared at the end of the presentation and thanked Musk for allowing him to join. in the semi-trailer truck project

Musk, who appeared on stage at an event at Tesla’s Nevada factory, said electric trucks Provides a long driving distance from large batteries Helps reduce emissions on highways. It outperforms existing diesel models in both energy and safety, along with the fast-charging technology Tesla will use in its upcoming Cybertruck pickup truck. Tesla President Robyn Denholm recently said the automaker May produce 100 Semis this year Musk says Tesla aims to produce 50,000 trucks in 2024

Tesla was one of the first companies to is launching a fully electric truck called the Tesla Semi. The company launched in 2017 and has spent over 5 years preparing to sell an electric truck. Tesla Semi 2022

Full payload weight 37,195 kilograms, 2 types of batteries to choose from: 483 – 804 km/charge, battery capacity not less than 600 – 1,000kWh, acceleration rate 0-100 km/hr within 20 seconds, 3 independent electric motors, two electric motors for acceleration at the rear axle (with automatic engine disengage) one electric motor for highway driving on the second axle (Works all the time) Charge rate 70% within 30 minutes.

Install a reverse braking system. (Regenerative Braking) is a method of slowing down and charging the battery through the movement of the vehicle. It will be beneficial for safety as well. Because the driver does not need to use And it may not require changing gears on long hills. The truck’s real brakes are liquid-cooling. However, Tesla’s Autopilot system, which was touted as a boon for long-distance drivers when it was first introduced five years ago, was not mentioned during the launch. Presentation
