In September, Tesla promises to share details about the electric trunk tractor, which will rise on the conveyor within the next two years, and in the future will be able to acquire an autopilot, turning the driver into a specialist only needed to perform service functions. Resource Reuters managed to sniff out one of the representatives of a transport company from Miami dedicated to Tesla plans details about the prototype of the first generation electric traction tractor.
According to the representative of the American logistics industry, Tesla is ready to offer a sleeping trunk trunk tractor, capable of a typical load traveling from 200 to 300 miles (320-480 km). Nominally, this tractor has the right to be called the main tractor, but in the representation of transport companies, it will be able to work only on a short and medium "shoulder". In fact, and the sleeper for the driver is abolished as superfluous.
Experts argue that only the cost of batteries capable of providing a similar power reserve with a typical load will exceed the cost of a ready diesel truck capable of overcoming up to 1600 km without refueling. However, representatives of the logistics industry are hoping that electric tractors will be cheaper to operate. While the prospects for their use are vague, but automakers with experience are also interested in this topic. Daimler, for example, this year will begin mass production of electric vans, capable of overcoming 160 km without recharging with a load of 4.3 tons.
