Our second Deepway has arrived in NZ.
They are now fully on highway compliant and available for sale ex stock at $255,000 + GST after LEHVF.
Thanks to everyone who stopped by our stand at the Eroad Fleetday
With the recent confirmation of RUC exemption for heavy EVs until July 2027 our calculations show the Deepway as the cheapest semi tractor to operate in New Zealand, even after paying for your depot charger.
The Deepway $1.25/km (lease, service, energy, no RUC, + depot charger)
The Windrose $1.50/km (lease, service, energy, no RUC, + depot charger)
Euro 6 diesel $2.06/km (lease, service, energy, and RUC)
H2 FCEV $2.70/km (lease, service, energy, no RUC)
H2 dual fuel $3.30/km (lease, service, energy, and RUC)
The National Road Carriers and EECA calculator shows an even larger gap on an Auckland to Tauranga run with a truck similar to the Deepway at $2.78 and diesel truck at $3.99/km (they include some other costs)

Bluescope and Toll recently ran a B-double at 68t from Port Kembla to Sydney. Even at that weight the Windrose averaged 75kph up the 12% gradient

We can also offer the Deepway as a 10t tare 4×2.
The 58t GCM 8×4 BEV rigid specifications are now available. The tare is expected to be a quite remarkable 9540kg for the bottom swap capable 650kWh CATL battery. As this is a special configuration for the New Zealand market we do need firm orders to make this truck happen.
We have known for a while that the XCMG EV and hybrid loaders are the cheapest wheel loaders to own and operate. The latest presentation is here showing data with diesel priced at $1.70 per litre and electricity at 17c/kWh.

Our battery swap station is now in daily use after testing on a few clients trucks.
Perhaps we need to think a bit bigger with our solar arrays for truck charging.
When combined with a storage charger you can capture all that sunlight and fast charge your truck or loader as required
Containers full of batteries for energy storage are now approaching 60 tonne. The XCMG XCS65K is capable of stacking BESS containers 5 high.
Even bigger, the XCS100 can hook lift 100t to move your wind turbine hubs.
