Hopefully, it doesn't fall apart like your fleetline has in a couple years of light usage.... premium price for a discontinued product with no warranty.... all done through a reputable dealer and installer. All about sales and could careless about the consumer.....
Brilliant! Thank you Work Truck for sharing this informative video. I need several of this new electric Isuzu truck right now! Who do I contact for price and if the truck comes in right- hand drive models? Greetings from Madang, Papua New Guinea!
This is a poor effort from Mack. 400 Volt architecture and 80 kW charging is woefully insufficient. Even Kias are 800 Volt. Air brakes on a class 6 truck with regen seems like a bad idea as well. This truck seems very similar to the 2012 Smith class 6 electric truck. I bought one of those cause it was cheap, ran it for a year, and have had nothing but issues since. Seems like all these companies forgot how to build a truck, KISS.
Air brakes bad because…?? Not to say you are wrong just to understand better your POV; air suspension and brakes are usually considered much safer than spring and normal brakes thanks also to the integration on the electronics (ABS, ESP etc etc). I too heard that smit were poorly constructed, and I can’t really figured how did they (Mack) not come up with a engine on axle rather than having this crankshaft which will for sure brakes apart quickly…sure more un-suspended weight but it is really worth the trouble of having an obsolete transmission line?
@@mattiafrancescobruni8318 With an EV the traditional braking system isn't really used, it is for emergency stopping only. This is doubly true for an EV truck as the potential energy is so high and using friction brakes is literally burning money. As I understand it, vehicles switch from hydraulic to air brakes because traditional hydroboost systems become sluggish if they are too large, too much fluid to move. But it's 2023, and just off the top of my head, how bout solenoid boosters at each caliper, or something. Point is, that in an emergency stop, regen braking begins before the drivers foot is off of the accelerator, then braking is balanced between regen and the friction brakes, with significantly less stopping power required from the friction brakes. Therefore the main design priority for a class 6 EV brake system is reliability, and the ability to sit dormant but ready, for long periods without the need for attention, neither of which air brakes are particularly good at.
@@augsu fair point, but having driven class 6 without air brakes I can tell, you definitely don't feel safe - apart from that, air suspension are a big plus in terms of safety because you have a suspension able to adjust to the load, and to the dynamics; in case of a mismanaged turn that surely can help. Bear in mind that regen is already used on bigger vehicle (it's called electronic retarder) to help alleviate the thermal load on brakes, but still, brakes are used. Sure it will be best the other way around, brakes helping regen, since brakes pad are a source of dust pollution too...
@@mattiafrancescobruni8318 You are correct, truck engineers forgot that a medium duty truck with hydraulic brakes needs a low geared manual trans to give some immediate engine braking before the brakes can safely be applied. My daily is a 79 C600 and the engine braking in the old 370 motor feels similar to the regen in an EV, and like an EV I don't really use the brakes. I have a 1961 F600 dump truck with original brakes down to the shoes, they've never needed any attention and they work really well. A simple system like that with a bit of modern techno wizardry (gotta let the engineers justify their paychecks) to make them a little more responsive would be ideal. I'm losing hope in the industry to produce a simple truck though. I think I will be modifying my Smith with simpler components.
I LOVE this van OMG. But what I can't figure out is why does the crew van option HAVE to have a high roof? i was a long extended van with low roof so I can still fit under things
I've yet to see this super high roof with options for swivel seats or a better alternator like the mid roof one has. This is the only reason I haven't ordered one to unfit myself. Maybe I'll get a 2024 if it has these options available.
Is these p7 platform basically american inventions?? i gues mericans manufacturize entire parts vvith them experience , eficiency manufature factory, uncredited research & advance capitalislogistic , 😲 are u guys using merican soil for maintaince all environment impacts for each forging progress , If these true 😲vvhy u (idontkn0who) put all spareparts in foreign facilities?? 😅😅!! anglican, britaindevil families (r & - r) and britainmonarch = duplications of Salomon line of king status. Its all deception! I bekieve one of britaindevilfamilies whoms sold out petrolium vvith snakeoil label (many years ago hindustan was tricked out by it 😅)
The funny thing is both the ftr and nrr are rated at approx 26000 lbS. Since the Nrr is a lighter truck you can legally haul more load even though the tires brakes are less beefy. Also I think they have the same engine. Go figure... maybe the final rear end is geared lower
