Distillate fuel consumption by the U.S. transportation sector in 2021, which is principally diesel fuel, was around 46.82 billion gallons, an average of around 128 million gallons every day. This amount had about 77% of U.S. distillate consumption, approximately 15% of U.S. petroleum consumption, and on an energy basis, around 25% of energy consumption by the U.S. transportation industry.
Idling heavy-duty trucks consume about 0.8 gallons of fuel per hour. Characteristically, a long-distance- truck lazes nearly 1,800 hours every year, using around 1,500 gallons of diesel. The Argonne National Laboratory approximations, that in the U.S., truck idling consumes equal to 1 billion gallons of fuel yearly at a cost of around $3 billion. This also accelerates wear and tear of the engine.
Here is the future of the Electric Truck
It is important to understand of why e- trucking hasn’t taken off like passenger vehicles. Although there is a desire in truck manufacturers to sell EVs, customers aren’t also investing enough in the technology.
Even if customers are interested in investing in the technology, most feel that they cannot endure the payoff. There is hope when it comes to lowering the price point. As per the experts, the prices of e- batteries are slowly declining, which means EVs should be priced the same or less as traditional vehicles in the future.
How Well the First Generation of Electric Trucks is Progressing
The industry is undergoing its first feasible wave of e-trucks. While the inventions are successful ones. According to many fully-electric trucks are in their infancy and, for numerous fleets, they can’t yet compete with the traditional options. This is for the reason that several zero-emissions trucks today are only realistic for short-haul applications like urban pick-up and delivery.
It is because of this, that the demand for e-trucks in the U.S. will reach a value of over $15,084.3 million by 2030.
