  • 1.  Open Thread for Electric TRU charging / energy efficiency

    Posted 07-01-2024 15:01

    Hi,  great to see this on the S.11 Task Force Day schedule.  I wanted to create an open thread here in both S.11 and in S.7 in cross-post since this is a joint Task Force.  My plan is to offer topics in TRU operating efficiency, power and energy estimations,  and including what charging infrastructure could look like for placement and management.   Please comment in this thread for any specific details to the above or any added topics that would be of interest.  We only have 30 minutes this time, so we will focus on a kick-off and picking some hot topics for fleet engagement.  We'll see you in Raleigh, Thanks !!

    Some topics that I'd be open to presenting:

    • TRU energy consumption data in real-world operations (data anonymized and aggregated) from some different fleet pilots
    • Lessons learned on balancing charging with yard operations for loading/unloading
    • Recommendations for charging strategies (DC vs 3-Phase) in yards based on trailer utilization and downtime, with a few case studies of (anonymized) yard operations
