Daimler Truck, junto con Cummins, Paccar y Eve Energy, planea construir bater\u00edas para veh\u00edculos comerciales el\u00e9ctricos en Estados Unidos. La empresa conjunta prevista espera invertir entre 2.000 y 3.000 millones de d\u00f3lares en una f\u00e1brica de 21 gigavatios-hora. <\/p>\n
Accelera by Cummins, la unidad de negocio de emisiones cero de la empresa, Daimler Truck y Paccar poseer\u00e1n cada una 30% de la empresa conjunta, y Eve Energy firmar\u00e1 por el diez por ciento restante. La empresa aportar\u00e1 sus conocimientos en dise\u00f1o y fabricaci\u00f3n de c\u00e9lulas de bater\u00edas.<\/p>\n
Los otros propietarios esperan \"crear la escala necesaria para acceder a una tecnolog\u00eda de c\u00e9lulas de bater\u00edas rentable y diferenciada, creando en \u00faltima instancia valor para los clientes de veh\u00edculos comerciales en Norteam\u00e9rica\".<\/p>\n
El objetivo inicial ser\u00e1n las bater\u00edas de litio-hierro-fosfato (LFP) para camiones el\u00e9ctricos de bater\u00eda. La empresa conjunta afirma que sus celdas de LFP ofrecer\u00e1n (las habituales) ventajas en comparaci\u00f3n con otras qu\u00edmicas de bater\u00edas, como un menor coste, una mayor vida \u00fatil y una mayor seguridad, sin necesidad de materias primas de n\u00edquel y cobalto.<\/p>\n
Cummins tiene cierta experiencia con la qu\u00edmica LFP. La empresa estadounidense adquiri\u00f3\u00a0Meritor<\/a> el a\u00f1o pasado y present\u00f3 el ePowertrain 17Xe, equipado con un paquete de bater\u00edas de litio hierro fosfato (LFP), una primicia en la l\u00ednea de bater\u00edas de Cummins. A continuaci\u00f3n, la empresa lanz\u00f3 Accelera este mes de marzo<\/a> que act\u00faa a la vez como proveedor de componentes e integrador.<\/p>\n \"Tenemos la responsabilidad de descarbonizar de una forma que sea la mejor para todas nuestras partes interesadas y para el planeta. Esto requiere trabajar estrechamente con socios clave\", afirm\u00f3 Jennifer Rumsey, presidenta y directora ejecutiva de Cummins. \"El anuncio de hoy refleja esa acci\u00f3n. No s\u00f3lo estamos avanzando en una soluci\u00f3n tecnol\u00f3gica clave para nuestros clientes, sino acelerando la transici\u00f3n energ\u00e9tica en Estados Unidos.\"<\/p>\n El constructor de veh\u00edculos Daimler Truck North America (DTNA) engloba las marcas Freightliner y Western Star y la marca de autobuses escolares Thomas Built Buses en EE UU. Junto con Cummings, tambi\u00e9n est\u00e1 trabajando en un cami\u00f3n Freightliner de pila de combustible.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Daimler Truck, junto con Cummins, Paccar y Eve Energy, tiene previsto fabricar bater\u00edas para veh\u00edculos comerciales el\u00e9ctricos en Estados Unidos.

This planned joint venture enables economies of scale beyond Daimler Truck. It is a key puzzle piece of our battery industrialization strategy, ensuring access to the right battery cell technology at the right cost.\u201d<\/p>\n DTNA launched a new electric truck brand called Rizon in the US in April 2023<\/a>. Rizon’s first models, due to launch later this year, also come equipped with LFP batteries. According to Daimler, it chose to use LFP because it has double the life of other cathode materials and better reliability. Rizon vehicles are probably essentially the Fuso eCanter with a different brand logo and may be made in Japan.<\/p>\n In Europe, Daimler Truck is constructing a battery centre with Innolab adjacent to its plant in the German town of Mannheim, as reported<\/a>. There, however, the partners will work on Li-ion technology.<\/p>\n At the same time, Daimler Truck has switched to lithium iron phosphate cell technology for the first time in its newest electric heavyweight, the eActros 600<\/a>, due to debut this October, so far in Europe. Usually, Daimler gets its battery cells from CATL.<\/p>\n As for the planned US battery joint venture, the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals.<\/p>\n Details on likely locations, the excat investment or federal funding have not been disclosed. The final decision will likely depend on subsidies.<\/p>\n
