You can find Tropos and us in the outdoor vehicle showcase at booth #149. If you are in California, check it out for yourself. We are very excited to deliver the first 1.000 units that have already been pre-ordered! First customer deliveries are expected to already begin in Q3 2022. The first vehicles have already made it safely across the Atlantic, shipping from our European factory. It’s amazing that these are fully functional for their intended purpose.The first Sevic-supplied Tropos ABLE NXT vehicles arrive in the US We have landed in the US! We are excited to premiere the new ABLE NXT, the American twin to our Sevic V500e, with our US strategic customer Tropos at the ACT Expo. Look at the ratio with the size in comparison to the people you see, and just imagine how compact these vehicles are. Tropos Motors had really made an impression with these all-electric Commercial Utility Vehicles. Let’s conclude this show with a new company that’s getting into the space of First Responders and compact commercial utility vehicles. The working prototype shown is a converted day cab. Using advanced lubricants and aerodynamic engineering, the Class 8 tractor trailer is packed with energy saving technology.Īlthough Tesla did not attend this expo, we got to take a look at the THOR EV-One, electric powered tractor, up close and personal. Shell Rotella featured their Starship Project, which is a “Hyper-Fuel Efficient” Truck. This particular model was designed for reefer trailers that return to base to charge up by plugging in, with the solar to keep it running throughout the day. Extensive safety testing had been done with the Toyota Mirai to be sold to the public, and has been available in limited markets.Ĭompany eNow featured a reefer trailer with very thin solar panels on the top to power an all electric reefer from Carrier. This technology is in process of being engineered to work on a larger scale for commercial vehicles, and appears to be a viable option in renewable energy. Toyota had the consumer vehicle Mirai on display, and showed how the technology works. A 0.5% to 1% fuel savings actually adds up to a lot of MPG for carriers. We also got to play around with the Deflecktor Aerodynamic Wheel Covers which is a simple add-on to existing wheels, to make them more aerodynamic. The system is claimed to be manufacturer neutral, and had a Peterbilt on display inside the expo hall. The tractor pictured is a Freightliner with a Hyliion hybrid add-on that picks up energy from downhill movement, which then gives stores power for a battery assist on uphill movement. Technology in transportation is advancing so quickly, it’s hard to pin down where the future in energy is going to be. The Advanced Clean Transportation Expo 2018, held at the Long Beach Convention Center showcased a number of companies with the latest innovations in Condensed Natural Gas, Electric, Hydrogen and Propane.
