A Deepway looking very smart in Foodstuffs North Island livery, soon to be operating out of Palmerston North.
A recent software upgrade has improved the adaptive cruise control to one of the best available, and unleashed all 720hp.
Priced at around NZD100k cheaper than a similar diesel truck (after LEHVF).
Plus a lot cheaper energy prices (always, not just with the present distortions), lower servicing costs, zero emissions and currently, no RUC.
A lot to like.
Etrucks and Landex have a new home at 16 Sir William Ave, East Tamaki starting next week. Come and visit anytime.
Now we have space for a proper EV truck and machinery display.
Charging the demo Deepway at Meridan Kaikoura. If the scary fuel prices in the back ground are making your eyes water, give us a call, we will be able to help.
Given the US tariff situation the mood amongst the foreign based OEMs was pretty grim at ConExpo. A few regulars didn’t turn up at all.
From XCMG’s stand the impressive Benz powered XDA45U ADT
Their short radius excavators now go through to 35t operating weight
The XCMG rollers get smarter every year, here a 12t padfoot.
A couple of small telehandlers the XCMG EV XT519E, and the Perkins powered Everun
The first 17t XC135CREV electric excavator for NZ is nearly ready to ship.
Windrose have announced a longer wheelbase version with a 800kWh battery, seen here as a recreational vehicle or perhaps a horse transporter.
Another solar array this time in Al Dhafra in the UAE. The output is 2GW (roughly 20% of New Zealand’s electricity production) from the 21 square kilometer facility. The production price is around NZ 2.2c/kWh. Sure they have advantages of plenty of sun and desert, but it shows what can be achieved for NZD1.6 billion.
Perhaps a dedicated 50m x 50m solar array for truck charging? This one is good for 0.5MW or 3000 to 4000 kWh per day. Or roughly 8 Deepways.
The latest XE120W on it’s way to work for McHale Hire.
