Current situation of domestic pure electric tractors: where is the market entrance in the future?

Although the pure electric heavy truck has great disadvantages in terms of endurance, it can give better play to its advantages in some transport scenarios with fixed routes and working conditions, such as resource transport, port, road rail intermodal transport and intercity transport. For example, the current port logistics market has just grasped this point of pure electric tractors. The endurance is only more than 200 kilometers, so it can fully adapt to the port logistics transportation. At first, pure electric tractors faced port logistics transportation, because in the port, there is no need to build too many charging piles. Basically, charging piles can be built in the port, which is practical and low in cost.

In fact, this charging pile is really the main reason that restricts the development of pure electric traction vehicles. First, it needs to cover a wide area. Second, it has a large investment cost. The construction of charging piles in service areas across the country and in large, medium and small cities is definitely not a small expense. This is also something that most vehicle enterprises cannot do. Also, it needs to consider that the difference between commercial vehicles and passenger vehicles is the difference in charging situation, The passenger vehicle is small and the commercial vehicle is large. The tractor will inevitably pull the trailer when charging in the service area. Therefore, the area and design of the entire charging pile are the difficulties. Therefore, the current pure electric vehicles are basically used in the tractors and dump trucks of port logistics transportation, and are basically used for short and medium distance transportation.

But is there no market for all electric tractors? Not really. In fact, from the current market, we can see that the market for pure electric tractors is absolutely large. Just like the current passenger car market, electric vehicles have had a strong momentum. Big engine manufacturers like BYD even want to catch up with Tesla. In the future, the electric vehicle market will definitely be larger than the fuel vehicle market, which is just a matter of time. So there is a big market for pure electric tractors. Xiao Bian thinks that the reason why there is no pure electric tractors in the current market is mainly due to technical problems, that is, the problem of endurance. At present, the maximum endurance distance of domestic pure electric tractors is about 300 kilometers, which can not meet the current long-distance transportation, because in the logistics transportation market, the long-distance transportation is basically the standard, Frequently stopping to charge will only bring more trouble and waste time to drivers and users. This is the weakness and defect of pure electric tractors.
