Truck battery can store energy

Why do commercial vehicles need a battery?

The batteries of commercial vehicles are subjected to considerable demands: they need to store as much energy as possible, in the smallest space possible, at the lowest cost possible, in addition to being lightweight, high-performance, quick to charge, long-lasting and safe in every situation.

How does a battery-electric truck work?

A battery-electric truck is powered by a super-efficient electric machine. In eight steps, here’s a simple overview of how Scania’s electric powertrain work, from the battery to the wheels. The process starts with the battery pack, which stores electrical energy.

What is a battery electric truck?

Battery electric truck. Battery cell: The basic unit of a lithium-ion battery that exerts electric energy by charging and discharging. Made by inserting cathode, anode, separator and electrolyte into an aluminium case.

Why are lithium ion batteries a good choice?

Lithium-ion batteries can store more energy per kilogramme than other types of battery and therefore make a great choice due to their high energy density. Complex energy store: The properties of a battery can be significantly influenced by the cell chemistry.

How safe is a car battery?

Meticulously monitored: the battery electronics immediately detect whether everything is in order or whether there is a fault. However, the safety of a vehicle battery depends on more than just the cell chemistry. The control electronics surrounding the energy storage also play an important role.

How long does a Scania battery last?

Scania’s batteries have the capacity to power trucks for 1.3 million kilometres – equivalent to the truck’s whole lifetime. Even after reaching the end of their life in the vehicle, batteries can still provide significant value and be reused, repurposed and recycled.
