Analyses and case studies
The second phase of the project enables twenty (20) participating companies to analyze usage data over a 3-month period to assess compatibility with current electric trucks and receive a personalized technico-economic report to initiate their transition.
The method involves analyzing 3 diesel trucks for three months to calculate financial and environmental savings, as well as determining the battery sizes required for targeted operations. Additionally, the team will assess the necessary recharge power to ensure smooth operations.
