Australian automotive technology company SEA Electric will display its newly launched SEA NPR EV tipper truck at the National Roads & Traffic Expo in Melbourne, September 17 and 18.
Fully powered by electricity with an integrated body and ancillaries, the tipper truck will be deployed at the City of Yarra immediately after the expo for hard rubbish collections.
The Isuzu NPR 65-190 tipper is powered by a SEA-Drive 100 power-system which produces 59kW continuous power and 108kW maximum power.
More importantly for a commercial vehicle, the SEA-Drive 100 produces continuous torque of 1000Nm, has a 275km unladen range and an onboard three-phase charger that can be charged to 80% within five hours.
The zero-emission tipper truck has mid mounted batteries for vehicle balance and safety and added driver protection.
SEA Electric Oceania regional director Glen Walker will talk about “The case for Electric Trucks and Why They Differ from Electric Cars” at the expo in the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre on September 17, 4.30pm.
“This vehicle, produced in partnership with the City of Yarra, reduces operating costs, enhances driving environment and lowers total cost of ownership when compared with existing diesel technology,” Walker says.
The expo features hundreds of free information sessions and demonstrations on topics relating to changes in Australia’s road infrastructure and traffic industries, and developments in the fields of infrastructure, traffic management, smart mobility, parking and safety.
SEA Electric’s expo stand is 901.
