A NEW type of electrified smart “braided heavy truck” has been developed to support the green transformation of China’s logistics industry, according to the Chinese manufacturer CRRC Zhuzhou Locomotive Co Ltd.
The smart truck — known as the Zhidao Electrified Highway Transport System — made its debut at a recent international rail transport expo in central China’s Hunan Province, injecting fresh momentum into the upgrading of the highway transport sector and offering a more efficient, intelligent and eco-friendly mobility solution. The smart green truck integrates a range of advanced technologies, including intelligent energy replenishment, smart energy connectivity, intelligent driving, and intelligent safety control and operations, the developer told Xinhua.
The truck draws power through pantographs connected to overhead “braids” on the catenary system. This allows it to break free from the battery-capacity constraints of traditional electric heavy-duty vehicles, enabling longer, continuous operations suitable for heavy-haul transport, according to the developer. In addition to its intelligent energy replenishment system, the truck’s intelligent driving design integrates technologies such as environmental perception, decision-making and planning, and control execution.
These features work together to optimize vehicle performance, enhancing both operational intelligence and overall transportation efficiency.
