The difference between diesel dump trucks and electric dump trucks
Author:
The main differences between diesel dump trucks and electric dump trucks are reflected in their power system, performance, operating costs, and applicable scenarios
Differences in Power Systems
Diesel dump trucks are driven by internal combustion engines and achieve power output through a gearbox and hydraulic system, requiring complex multi speed gearboxes to adapt to different operating conditions. Electric dump trucks are based on electric motors and powered by batteries, eliminating traditional components such as clutches and transmissions, resulting in a simpler structure.
Performance differences
Acceleration performance: Electric dump trucks have faster power response during start-up and low-speed stages, and the electric motor can instantly output peak torque for smoother acceleration; Diesel cars need to wait for the engine speed to increase before the torque gradually increases.
Maximum speed: Electric dump trucks are limited by battery capacity, and the maximum speed is usually around 140km/h; Due to the characteristics of the engine, diesel vehicles can reach a maximum speed of over 180km/h.
Power continuity: Diesel engines can maintain high power output for a long time, suitable for long-term high-intensity operations; Electric dump trucks are limited by battery life and find it difficult to operate at high power continuously.
Differences in operating costs
Energy cost: The charging cost of electric dump trucks is about 0.45 yuan/kilometer (calculated at 1.5 yuan/kWh), while the fuel cost of diesel vehicles is about 0.7-0.8 yuan/kilometer.
Maintenance cost: Electric dump trucks have many maintenance free components, and only require daily inspection of the battery and motor. Maintenance costs are 30-50% lower than diesel vehicles.
Differences in applicable scenarios
Urban working conditions: Electric dump trucks are more suitable for environmentally demanding scenarios such as urban distribution and warehousing due to their zero emissions, low noise, and road rights advantages.
Outdoor Heavy Duty: Diesel dump trucks have strong power and long-lasting endurance, making them more suitable for high-intensity, long-distance transportation or extreme environmental operations.
