Kässbohrer, is developing a battery-powered car transporter that uses electric power not only for its powertrain but also its lifting and loading systems
The Futuricum car transporter has four modular battery packs with a capacity totaling 900kWh, which Designwerk and Kässbohrer claim will be capable of covering 450km on Switzerland’s roads each day. Furthermore, if a fast charge is required, the transporter can charge 80% of the installed battery capacity in just one hour.
The storage capacity of the electric truck consists of four 225kWh lithium-ion batteries. Conversely, an average electric passenger car has 40-60 kWh net energy content capacity. The truck has a special permission to carry extra weight because of its battery size and storage capacity.
