Zero Emission Capable Range Extended Electric UPS P80 delivery truck retrofit trial

伦敦等城市正在引入低排放或零排放区，以减少车辆对社会环境的影响。全球物流领导者UPS已经试用了纯电动汽车，并了解到它们的范围有限。如果一辆纯电动送货车电量不足，就不能去加油站加油。故障可能导致延迟交付和易腐物品的损坏。在许多情况下，车辆需要从城镇边缘的配送中心至少60英里的范围才能到达城市的交付区域，然后返回基地。Tevva Trucks的增程电动动力总成技术和智能控制软件实现了这一目标。TevvaDrive在城市中以纯电动模式运行，并使用传统的小型汽车发动机以最佳效率运行以更换电池，从而不断优化性能，实现城市零排放和长距离行驶。Tevva和UPS已经成功地进行了1年的单车试验，需要扩大到车队范围的试验。Tevva & UPS将在英国的两个地点建造和运营15辆UPS标志性的棕色P80送货卡车，每天行驶150英里，以展示该技术已准备好大规模车队推广。

Cities such as London are introducing low or zero emission zones to reduce the socio-environmental impacts of vehicles. Global logistics leader UPS have trialed pure electric vehicles and learned that they are limited on range. If a pure electric delivery vehicle runs low on charge, pulling in to a service station to refuel is not an option . Breakdowns can result in late deliveries and the spoiling of perishable items. In many cases vehicles need a range of at least 60 miles from distribution centres on the edge of town to be able to reach their delivery area in the city and then get back to base. Tevva Trucks’ Range Extended Electric powertrain technology and smart control software achieves this and more. By operating on electric only mode in the city and using a traditional, small car engine running at optimum efficiency to rechanrge its batteries, TevvaDrive constantly optimises performance to deliver both zero emissions in town and a long range. Tevva & UPS have run single vehicle trials successfully for 1 year & need to scale up to fleet wide trials. Tevva & UPS will build & operate 15 of UPS' highly visible, iconic brown P80 delivery trucks across two UK sites, driving daily routes of up to 150 miles to demonstrate the technology’s readiness for mass fleet wide roll out.
