Скачать или смотреть DHL Adds Tesla Semi to California Fleet After Successful Trial

...Source: https://driveteslacanada.ca/?p=111763 Transcript: Tesla Drive Canada is reporting that DHL has officially rolled out its first Tesla Semi into daily commercial use, following a successful trial run that exceeded expectations. During a 3,000-mile test from its Livermore, California facility, the electric big rig pulled 75,000 pounds over a 390-mile long-haul route while averaging just 1.72 kilowatt-hours per mile—outperforming Tesla’s original efficiency target of under 2 kWh per mile.

The truck is now operating in Central California, running about 100 miles of deliveries a day and only needing to charge once a week. DHL says each Semi will cut around 50 tons of carbon emissions per year.

The Tesla Semi features a range of up to 500 miles and is now part of DHL’s growing fleet of over 150 electric Class 8 trucks in the U.S. Plans are already underway to add more units in 2026, when Tesla is expected to begin full-scale production in Nevada.

Other major players like PepsiCo, Walmart, Costco, and Sysco have also begun testing or deploying the Tesla Semi, as the electric freight market continues to grow.
