How to Operate Electric Trucks Efficiently – A Guide With Comprehensive Solutions From VIMID
Electric trucks are becoming an increasingly popular choice for transportation businesses thanks to their lower operating costs and compatibility with the growing trend of green logistics. However, many fleet operators still have questions about real-world performance, long-term efficiency, and how to get the most out of an electric truck. So, what does it take to operate electric truck efficiently while keeping costs under control and ensuring long-term reliability? Let’s explore the key factors with VIMID.
Reduce Operating Costs with the Right Charging Strategy
Compared with diesel fuel, electricity prices tend to be more stable, making it easier for businesses to predict and manage energy expenses. Beyond that, proper charging practices can help maintain vehicle performance and extend battery life.
Tips for Efficient Charging and Longer Battery Life:
- Follow the charging procedures recommended by the manufacturer.
- Schedule charging during off-peak hours whenever possible to reduce electricity costs.
- Operate and charge the vehicle according to the recommended charging cycles
A well-planned charging infrastructure is just as important as the vehicle itself. To support customers in their transition to electric transportation, VIMID provides charging solutions tailored to actual operating requirements, including:
- Charging station layout consultation based on real-world operating conditions.
- Guidance on optimizing charging capacity and charging cycles.
- Recommendations on charging strategies to improve energy efficiency and reduce operating costs.
By investing in the right charging infrastructure, businesses can minimize downtime, improve fleet utilization, and gain better control over long-term operating expenses.
The Sitrak G7X-EV electric tractor truck distributed by VIMID uses the CCS2 (Combined Charging System 2) standard, one of the most widely adopted fast-charging standards in Europe and Vietnam. This allows compatibility with a wide range of charging stations while significantly reducing charging time and maximizing vehicle productivity.
Smart Battery Management for Longer Battery Life
The battery is one of the most critical components of an electric truck. Proper battery management and usage not only help maximize vehicle performance but also extend battery life and improve long-term operating efficiency.
The G7X-EV electric tractor truck, along with other electric truck models distributed by VIMID, is equipped with high-capacity CATL batteries and an advanced battery management system. CATL (Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited) is the world’s largest lithium-ion battery manufacturer, accounting for roughly one-third of the global market. CATL batteries are widely recognized for their high energy density, reliability, and long service life.
VIMID’s electric trucks support fast charging in approximately 1.5 hours, helping businesses maximize vehicle utilization and reduce downtime. To achieve optimal performance and battery longevity, users should follow the charging procedures and recommended charging cycles provided by the manufacturer.
In addition, VIMID’s technical team provides driver training and operational guidance to help customers use their vehicles correctly and maximize real-world battery efficiency throughout the vehicle lifecycle.
Advanced Safety and Smart Technologies
VIMID’s electric trucks, imported from SINOTRUK, are engineered and optimized to meet the operating conditions of the Vietnamese market. Models such as the G7X-EV electric tractor truck and TX EV have demonstrated reliable performance in both domestic and international markets, proving the practicality and efficiency of electric commercial vehicles in real-world operations.
Key technologies that help improve operational efficiency include:
- Regenerative braking technology that recovers energy during deceleration and feeds it back into the battery.
- A modern cabin equipped with a 12.3-inch display integrated with a 360-degree camera system.
- Advanced safety features such as Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Forward Collision Warning (FCW), and Acceleration Slip Regulation (ASR) for enhanced stability and driving safety.
- MAN-technology drive axles that deliver high drivetrain efficiency and improved power transmission performance, etc.
Beyond vehicle technology, route planning, load optimization, and driver behavior also play an important role in maximizing energy efficiency and reducing operational stress on the vehicle. Following the manufacturer’s recommendations can significantly improve overall fleet performance.
