Bijna tien jaar nadat Elon Musk voor het eerst zijn elektrische vrachtwagen met de kogelvormige cabine presenteerde, heeft Tesla bevestigd dat het deze emissievrije zware vrachtwagen ook aan deze kant van de Atlantische Oceaan gaat verkopen. Wat heeft deze vrachtwagen te bieden dat Windrose nog niet in zijn assortiment heeft?<\/p>\n<p>Op papier biedt de Tesla Semi het meeste vermogen, de hoogste laadsnelheid en het meest aerodynamische ontwerp. Het is bovendien een vrachtwagen die nog steeds aanvoelt als een product van een start-up dat zijn intrede doet op een markt waar de gevestigde spelers al duizenden exemplaren leveren.<\/p>\n<p>Misschien wordt de Chinese Windrose E700 wel zijn grootste concurrent; deze zal voor de Europese markt worden geassembleerd in de nieuwe vestiging van Windrose in Antwerpen en belooft een actieradius van ongeveer 670 kilometer met volle lading.<\/p>\n<h4>Eerst het standaardassortiment<\/h4>\n<p>Tesla brengt de Standard Range Semi eerst naar Europa. Dat betekent een actieradius van ongeveer 523 kilometer op een volle accu, wat ongeveer overeenkomt met wat Europese elektrische vrachtwagens tegenwoordig halen. De truck wordt aangedreven door drie elektromotoren die samen 1.073 bhp naar de achterassen sturen.<\/p>\n<p>Het leeggewicht wordt opgegeven als 9.100 kg en het energieverbruik zou 1,0 kWh per kilometer bedragen. In de VS biedt Tesla ook de Long Range aan, die een actieradius van meer dan 800 kilometer heeft. Dat zou in Europa een doorbraak zijn geweest.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Maar al deze cijfers zijn gebaseerd op de Amerikaanse versie. De volledige Europese specificaties worden pas volgende maand bekendgemaakt op de IAA Transportation in Hannover. Hetzelfde geldt voor de prijsstelling. In de VS is de Semi met $260.000 (\u20ac 226.000) de goedkoopste batterij-elektrische trekker in zijn categorie. Windrose vraagt in Europa \u20ac 195.000 voor de E700.<\/p>\n<h4>Oplaadnetwerk<\/h4>\n<p>Op het gebied van opladen denkt Tesla nog steeds dat het de overwinning kan behalen. De Megachargers van het bedrijf leveren tot 1.200 kW, genoeg om in een half uur 60 procent van de actieradius op te laden. In de Verenigde Staten wordt dat netwerk uitgebreid. In Europa bestaat het nauwelijks, in tegenstelling tot het uitgebreide netwerk van laadpunten voor zijn personenauto\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>Tesla zal honderden Megacharger-locaties langs de belangrijkste vrachtcorridors moeten aanleggen voordat vervoerders in hun dagelijkse werkzaamheden kunnen vertrouwen op het cijfer van 523 kilometer.<\/p>\n<p>Het laadvermogen is een ander aandachtspunt. Volgens de EU-regelgeving mogen emissievrije vrachtwagencombinaties doorgaans extra gewicht vervoeren ter compensatie van het gewicht van hun accu\u2019s, hoewel de exacte limieten vari\u00ebren naargelang de voertuigconfiguratie, het gebruik en het land.<\/p>\n<p>De huidige EU-brede regeling verhoogt de gebruikelijke limiet van 40 ton over het algemeen tot maar liefst 42 ton; er is een ruimere limiet van 44 ton voorgesteld, maar deze is nog niet de algemene regel. Tesla heeft onvoldoende gegevens volgens Europese specificaties gepubliceerd om een laadvermogen van 22 ton voor de Semi te verifi\u00ebren, waardoor de concurrentiepositie op het gebied van laadvermogen onzeker blijft.<\/p>\n<p>Wat de Semi-vrachtwagen ook gemeen heeft met Windrose, zijn de problemen op productiegebied. De Chinese vrachtwagenfabrikant heeft moeite om financiering te vinden om de productie op gang te brengen en volledig op te schalen. Geruchten over een faillissement zijn moeilijk te ontkrachten, hoewel die voor een start-up niet ongebruikelijk zijn.<\/p>\n<p>Tesla heeft ook moeite om de productie van de Semi-vrachtwagen in zijn fabriek in Nevada op gang te krijgen. Maar het openstellen van de export naar Europa zou erop kunnen wijzen dat de fabriek de productie geleidelijk opvoert richting de jaarlijkse doelstelling van 50.000 eenheden. De productie is pas in april van dit jaar van start gegaan.<\/p>\n<h4>Betrouwbaarheid kopen<\/h4>\n<p>Tesla heeft in de sector van elektrische vrachtwagens echter niet dezelfde voorsprong als bij zijn personenauto\u2019s. Dit segment van het wagenpark is op zichzelf al een nichemarkt, waarin gevestigde spelers als Mercedes, Volvo of MAN kunnen terugvallen op goed uitgebouwde netwerken en al meerdere jaren ervaring hebben met hun batterij-aangedreven wagenparken. Dat vertrouwen vanaf nul opbouwen, afgezien van een agressieve prijsstelling, zal een enorme uitdaging blijken te zijn voor Tesla \u2013 en voor Windrose trouwens ook.<\/p>\n<p>De Mercedes eActros, de Volvo FH Aero Electric en de MAN eTGX beschikken niet over het vermogen dat de Tesla Semi-vrachtwagen te bieden heeft. Maar vrachtwagenchauffeurs kopen geen vermogen. Ze kopen betrouwbaarheid, en deze Europese fabrikanten beschikken allemaal over servicenetwerken die zich uitstrekken van Lissabon tot Lapland.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Tesla Semi is coming to Europe.
