Terraline may not be a completely new company, Solo Advanced Vehicle Technologies was known as The company specializes in autonomous commercial vehicle hardware, or at least it used to be, and went through rebranding after its last investment round. Plans to release after branding truck Tangra LH1It aims to rival Tesla’s strange-looking truck.
Component and hardware business with knowledge The company felt it had a chance to compete in a very busy but very lucrative 8th class truck market. Terralinebelieves his new truck is exactly what the industry needs, and in theory it has a few interesting points.
First, the obvious ie the design let’s take it. If you think the Tesla Semi looks futuristic, the Tangra LH1 literally out of this world. The name comes from a mountain range in Antarctica, and the company claims it boosts employee optimism. It’s a bit of a strain, they’re more likely to realize they have a whole mountain to climb and be honest about it.
Tangra LH1Let’s go back to. The truck is designed to be operational for 10 years, during which time it requires no serious maintenance. over 3 million miles it has to go the way. This is twice as good as conventional 8th class trucks.
The company has recovered from an unspecified battery pack. 500+ miles range and on par with diesel class 8 truck tensile performance claims. Active aero is responsible for the apparent best-in-class efficiency and Tangra LH1among all trucks on the market lowest coefficient of friction has. These just claim for now And we’ll have to wait and see the actual numbers.
We’ve counted many good features so far, an interesting point is the ability to charge the truck from the existing infrastructure. The marketing leak is over and we are now where it left us waiting for more details. Does this mean it will charge for hours on even the fastest DC chargers? Will it have a new, magical technology to speed up charging?
There should be a catch, Tesla promised similar results and capabilities, only to keep the details of its battery secret and leave questions about the Semi’s real-life towing range unanswered. So what’s the problem here?
This one is great. While the company claims that the first truck will be delivered to customers for extended testing this year, in fact You will never be able to buy the Tangra LH1. The company has a new (non-real) business model of TaaS. Truck as a Serviceoffers the . The movers will just rent the Tangra and pay per usage mile without having to worry about other expenses.
For many companies, this will simplify their work. Terraline will become the Uber of the trucking industry and save the planet in the process – at least that’s the plan. The truth is, many companies are hoping to take advantage of generous electric vehicle tax credits for electric trucks in the United States. Many companies choose to have 100% control over the fleet, including its maintenance.
