According to the some recent MIIT (Ministry of Industry and Information Technology) documents, a pure electric dump truck from the XCMG Group now holds the record for having the most energy dense LFP (LiFePO4) battery.
Â
The XCMG Group is the leading Chinese construction machinery manufacturer and one of the world’s largest.
Â
Let’s see more details of this electric truck.
Â
- Length: 10.900 mm
- Width: 2.550 mm
- Height: 3.500 mm
- Gross weight: 31.000 kg
- Curb weight: 23.000/23.600 kg (empty vehicle)
- Maximum speed: 80 km/h
- Range: 420 km
- Battery capacity: 422,87 kWh
- Battery energy density: 176,1 Wh/kg
- Battery chemistry: LFP (LiFePO4)
- Motor: 450 kW and 2.800 N.m of torque
Â
Unfortunately I couldn’t find a picture of this electric truck.
Â
Anyway, an energy density of 176,1 Wh/kg is impressive for a LFP battery pack. In the coming months we might see this kind of energy density also in LFP batteries for electric passenger cars.
