Energy consumption values per kilometer for diesel and electric trucks vary in many studies. How many kWh/km are accepted as the values a(k), which shows the amount of energy consumed by the vehicle when empty, and (b), which shows the energy consumption depending on the load? What are the capacities of the trucks in question?
Well, for your comparison purposes, google and an AI say that:
(1/4)
Electric trucks consume around 1.1 kWh/km, while diesel trucks consume 30 to 40 liters of diesel for every 62 miles driven, where 62 miles = 100 km.
(2/4)
One liter of diesel fuel contains about 10.6 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of energy
(3/4)
The accepted amount of diesel per kilometer for a vehicle depends on the vehicle's gross weight, as shown in the following table:
Gross weight | | Accepted liters per km
> 4.5 tonnes and ≤ 12 tonnes | | 0.18
> 12 tonnes and ≤ 16.5 tonnes | | 0.23
> 16.5 tonnes and ≤ 24 tonnes | | 0.28
> 24 tonnes and ≤ 30 tonnes | | 0.32
(4/4) just for EVs vs 1/4 for ETrucks
Electric vehicles (EVs) typically consume between 15 and 22 kWh/100 km. However, the amount of energy an EV uses depends on several factors, including: Driving style, Weather, Load, Terrain, Battery size, Efficiency etc.
(4a/4)
Electric trucks can consume between 0.80 and 1.94 kWh/km, depending on several factors ...
Per HP consumption is the common factor for both electric (KWH)and diesel (Liter)……
... on top of that, specifically, according to a recent study ...
