Jim Monkmeyer, president of DHL Supply Chain Transportation, confirmed that the company has ordered 10 Tesla electric semi-trailers, which began production in about 2019. He said that the order to order electric trucks was an attempt. It took several years for DHL to convert most of its trucks into electric trucks, but the company has plans to replace fuel trucks with electric trucks, which can significantly reduce operating costs. .
Due to the difference in cost between fuel and electricity, the cost of maintenance, the cost savings of using electric trucks after two years can offset the difference in the cost of purchasing fuel trucks and electric trucks. The selling price is lower, but the operating cost is higher. Jim Monkmeyer said in an interview that DHL expects Tesla electric semi-trailers to recover costs in about 18 months, depending on the energy usage and maintenance costs. To the advantage of the maintenance cost of the Tesla electric semi-trailer truck, the electric vehicle has fewer and simpler engine components for daily maintenance.
The economics of electric trucks are the key to attracting customers. DHL has extensive experience in the application of electric vehicles. The company uses approximately 5,000 electric scooters for the delivery of goods in various regions.
The trucks used by logistics companies range from about 65,000 to 100,000 miles per year. Tesla promises a 20% savings in operating costs per mile for the company's electric trucks. The new electric semi-trailer costs $1.26 per mile in logistics. The average cost per mile of diesel trucks in the industry is $1.51.
The economic gap between fuel trucks and electric trucks will continue to change, and the efficiency of fuel trucks will continue to increase in the future. By 2020, the cost disadvantage of fuel trucks relative to Tesla electric trucks will be very small. DHL said that the operating costs of the two power trucks are still being considered, and eventually the two types of vehicles can be switched and operated at the same time. But the problem with the application of electric trucks is the charging equipment, and how the logistics company can adjust the warehouse's gas station to a super charging station.
According to Jim Monkmeyer, the biggest challenge is how to build a charging network and how to get more support. DHL needs a charging system in every region to be able to apply electric trucks on a large scale. This is a very big challenge and a limited electric truck. The main factors of application.
