@brianb-p6586 9 месяцев назад

Full credit to the Nikola rep for openly acknowledging that the truck is an IVECO S-Way, rather than claiming that they designed or built it. To be clear, "platform" means everything except the fuel cell system and battery. It also makes sense that the fuel cell stack under the cab is much more acceptable to drivers than a diesel engine under the cab.

Andre asks about weight and the engineer readily gives the tractor weight as 26,200 pounds (and qualifies that value as "approximate"). Meanwhile, Tesla still won't provide any information about their Semi weight (which appears to be roughly the same as the weight of this fuel cell hybrid truck).

This whole operation of climate change is orchestrated for control. The deep state is invested in electric/ battery only.

As an engineer, it's hard not to be seduced by this thing. I remember reading about Bob Lazar's hydrogen cars when I was a kid. I believe I wrote a paper about it at school. This is obviously an entirely different architecture vs converting a gasoline engine. As to the actual viability of this vehicle, or the company producing it, I have no clue.

From the very beginning of Nicola trucks I was impressed from this Hydrogen fuel cell technology and the possible future this gives to the transport industry and the driver.. Driving a truck in EU is VERY intimidating job.. So the truck MUST comply with these rules ,so to speak, regarding the driving time and all the termins of the load.. As you declare, the refueling time for this truck (about 20 min) is VERY compatible as I see it from the driver's perspective.. THIS truck has all the future with it.. As I see it now ,the only problem regarding the flawless operation,is the density of the refueling stations.. Now THIS is a serious thema and the REAL, next milestone for this technology to win..I wish I was young now to drive it...

The "gaseous" supply trailer mentioned at 34:49 means that there is a hydrogen source available, but the pressure is too low so the system on this truck is needed to compress the hydrogen up to the much higher pressure used for storage on the truck. Yes, that takes a lot of electricity.

Also the oil industry isn't going anywhere, all that plastic in all of these vehicles no matter what powers them comes from petroleum.

The fuel cell module appears to be about the same size in all dimensions (length, width, height) as the diesel engine for the same truck. It's not surprising that fuel cell trucks with conventional cabs also place the fuel cell stack in the normal engine location, even though (due to the lack of shaft connection) it could also go in other locations (such as further back or even on the outside of the frame rails where fuel tanks are normally found).

While I think hydrogen has a place, I'm always leery when a proponent of hydrogen doesn't address its dirty side. While it CAN be obtained using green power sources, as is done in this video, it is far, FAR cheaper to produce it via extraction from fossil fuel sources like natural gas or coal. In many cases the money behind the drive for a hydrogen economy comes from fossil fuel industry. I'd love to see a non-biased study comparing Gasoline/Diesel, EV, grey H, blue H, and green H, looking at their carbon footprints and costs. It's a complicated situation, and the fossil fuel industry is very motivated to keep those waters muddy.

@just-incase 10 месяцев назад

When talking about weight we don't think in terms of total gross weight. It's axle weight that is the limiting factor. In Canada we can be fine on a tandem drive but cross the border into the USA and we need to put down a tag axle to share some weight. I'm told that this is because of the structural load limits of the concrete highways on American Interstates. Your maximum weight allowance though is generally a factor of how many axles you have to distribute that weight. Most tractors have the ability to slide their fifth wheel forward to put a little more weight onto the steering axle and thus a little less on the drives if it's necessary if it's a little heavy in the (trailer) nose.

@brianb-p6586 7 месяцев назад

US and Canadian rules are similar: axle loads are normally the restriction in either case, and maximum gross weight is just the total of all of the axle maximums.

The diesel IVECO S-Way presumably uses a typical Euro truck transmission, but it's not used in the hydrogen fuel cell or battery-electric versions; they use an electric motor mounted on the drive axle, so the transmission is also in the axle. In this case, it's a fixed-ratio (single-speed) gearbox.

Despite Andre's comments starting at 6:04, there's no more redundancy in a heavy truck than there is a passenger car. Obviously without an engine electric power must be used to run the steering assist and the air pump (for brakes and suspension), but otherwise it can use common heavy truck systems... which do not have any more redundancy than light vehicle systems. It may not have been very clear in the audio at 16:26 (and it's wrong in the transcript), but the brake system supplier is WABCO. WABCO started as the Westinghouse Air Brake Company, has had a few changes of ownership and location, and is now a part of ZF. He describes it as European, and is currently based there, but started in the USA.

@1guyin10 9 месяцев назад

When you consider that there is both engine braking and service brakes, yes there is some redundancy. Also truck air brakes are failsafe. If you lose air the brakes apply themselves..

And that's why the government is pushing for 90,000lbs so EV can still pull 45,000 lb load Ev weight is over 7,000 lbs too heavy compared to a normal rig

A problem with that is that there are boatloads of bridges out there that are rated at 40 tons of less.

I doubt anyone is pushing for a 10,000 pound weight exemption for EVs or any other alternative energy type. There is already a 2,000 pound US federal exemption, and similar rules at the US state and Canadian provincial level.

So after hearing that a Rivian had a minor dent in the back that could cost $41,000 to repair Would you say the same thing would happen if a big EV rig got into a minor accident, it could cost over $100,000 for repairs. By minor I mean like Front bumper Side hit Jack Knife the rig in the parking lot Hitting a deer What would be the cost of body repair and would insurance cost more or just total out the rig

@larrysmith6797 9 месяцев назад

It's a Iveco cab.

@brianb-p6586 7 месяцев назад

Cost of body repairs has nothing to do with the energy source. This truck has the same frame and cab as the diesel version.

Shut the front door. Who the eff was that after the one minute mark? Change the name of the TRUCK! Take TREVOR name off and the the stock will go up. TRE= No. I'll have to watch this later. The dude walking through the camera left me with a bad impression.

@Mr-pn2eh 10 месяцев назад

Yes. Except this time they actually have working demos. We will have to wait and see if this actually succeds. I'm not a trucker so I don't care if this succeeds or not

@smithjones1906 10 месяцев назад

Weren't they suspected of insurance fraud in relation to burning prototypes or something? Or was that another EV startup?
