the only negative i can find on electric timber trucks is that i grew up spending a loot of time with my dad in his truck, and i love the smell of timber and diesel XD

With the right charging network, fully electric would work just fine. DC fast charging equipment is not readily available, but if there was some way that you could work out how to get your hands on several dozen DC fast chargers from Tesla, version four, and put them at the Mills and other strategic locations, it would work out just fine. Remember the batteries in the Tesla semi truck are pretty close to one megawatt and the charging rate for the semi truck is also quite high.

unstoppable force versus movable object

Thinking of this truck tactically on a modern battle field. The capability to drive in heavy loads completely silently is amazing! Think you could role in at night with blackout lights on and nobody would see or hear you coming giving the element of surprise. That's truly amazing!

Cool that you are getting to build a logging truck. However, this has to be great for Tolko to get a custom built truck as well. Your point about the Diesel-electric markedly reducing fuel costs to allow mills to stay in operation longer is very telling. It's neat when your basic new idea for a truck has so many ancillary benefits. All the best.

Money laundering at its best .

I look forward to the day I see Edison on North Vancouver island. Lots of HDX and P-16's still driving around still.

I know a place in Alberta you guys can build a nice factory right off the main highway. It’s central and can create a lot of jobs

Just wanted to say love your guys’ videos and what you’re doing with the company? How soon do you think before the first prototype truck will be fully built? I can’t wait to see the finished product!

Would electric trucks be able to add drive axles to the trailers to aide in traction? Would there be an advantage to it?

I'll say it once again. You should ask the creators of the game "RoadCraft" if they'd put your truck in their game.

1500 hp is gonna be impressive. And when you figure out a powered trailer-WooWHOO!

OMG... SANTA 🎅 Is A LOGGER In The "OFF SEASON"... 😁

Ugly is in the eye of the blind.

Smart

There's a reason why railroads have made electric locomotives like this for decades. It works

You are showing American trucks, which by all accounts are like 20-30 years behind in innovation.

Screw aerodynamic trucks . W900L all the way .

I have a 67 Canadian kw cat 5&4 straight pipes

Can you also make the tractor a AWD for mud and snow conditions? 😊

Can’t wait to see this truck come together. Pretty cool you get to work with a local company that means so much to you. It’s gunna be a badass truck!

👍

You know it’s a good deal when it’s done the Canadian way. People working collectively to streamline the process for productivity and casual clothes, Tim Hortons coffee with a big box of donuts in the boardroom! 😅👍❤🇨🇦🥰☕️🍩

What if you made it wider and shorter than it actually is?

Its weird to see these ancient things used for work. A modern euro log truck would probably do the work of quite a few of these museum things😄 they just load such small amunts of logs

Cant imagine how proud you are my man.

You get an attaboy not too many people fight for the little guy thank you

Hahaha this is so fun! As a former shooter for Heavy Rescue: 401 it's always lovely to see the crews get a little time on the other side of the camera somewhere! :P

I promise that that dude never stops bitching. Ever. Just whining constantly.

After watching this video, any other videos It is unbelievable that the government does not pay you for all these things All the BS that government pay for and I can’t support this

Why woud they say no to taxes and future enployment aka more taxes

Thank you for the fact checking!

Your getting hit by a semi you could have a stack of mattresses in-front your still dead.

Meanwhile, in India, there's trash getting dumped directly into the drinking water.....

Do you know unfortunately, I feel like this is more reflection on “green” agenda If they were really looking for green ideas that make things better You wouldn’t even have a chance to ask for funding

So up fitter ready is actually going to be up fitter ready!Significant fuel savings, less moving parts, Right to Repair and a silent mode! Next best thing would be autodrive and the driver’s seat slid way back.

What diesel engine for gen?

Are the front axle going to be a drive axle as well?

You either die a safe driver or live long enough to be a crumple zone.

Seeing the weather conditions it’s going to be used in, there are some questions… Is it going to be all wheel drive? How heavy is the truck going to be? What capacities will it have? Capacity of load Capacity of power in the battery (Ah) Capacity of range with just the battery (if everything pulls maximum power, so the minimum range) Capacity of range with battery and generator (if everything pulls maximum power) I love the design of your trucks. They look powerful, strong, massive and built to last. If I ever have the chance to drive one of your trucks, I hope it’s going to be this one…

Wait so even the rear log carriers will have E-axles? That is awesome!

This'll be fun to watch, end to end. Do you have any idea how much extra energy (beyond battery capacity) you'll have coming down loaded? Is extra battery capacity going to be required for this, or will there be the "jake brake" as you suggested through th generator/engine? Thanks! Looks great

How are you're axle motors dealing with heat on these heavy haul trucks?

❤

Ya buddy! That's where this all starts... At home! Make it tough and rugged... Yet modern at the same time... Diesel electric is definitely a Great way to go.

When a truck is going down a snowy or muddy track, does re-charging slow the truck enough to not use brakes?

Well if Kim is serious about a back country rig... Service or more... Will take us cash and help Edison with that back burner he is talking about. The more cash inflow the more gets built... Is that not the current business moto?
