Regardless of how Edison does, FloDraulic will prosper from this venture. Just from the experience and learnings applying electrification to the vocational truck market. Not that I doubt Edison, but they are taking a challenging path. And nailing it, so far! Edison will not be a competitor in the long-haul OTR space (Chace has noted that the fuel savings are not there at highway speeds, whereas with a Tesla Semi they truly are as Pepsi has proven). But a hybrid gets exceptional economy in a start-stop, low speed environment. Garbage trucks. Logging because of the specifics of that industry. Service vehicles that don't need to run on the highway. It's still a big market. Similarly with a hybrid pickup kit, that 10% or so fuel savings on the highway is nothing to write home about - but the 50% in the city is a game-changer. (Although Ford and GM would love that 10% highway savings).

At the very beginning, why does the Flodraulics person think we need to eliminate ckrbon dioxide emissions? If we (could - fortunately we can't) eliminate CO² all vegetatiin would die (photosynthesis requires CO²). I am far more concerned about the chemicals being introduced into our atmosphere at high elevations (allegedly to control weather & reduce global warming).

​@@EdisonMotors Capitalist greed global corruption destroys innovation. I watched the government funding video you provided on your KZread channel

This is what needs to be used more extensively than it is currently, These people know the backbone of Edison Motors and are a perfect support company to extend the range, not just of current vehicles fuel wise but types of vehicle to be built. This impressed me, not just as a "click bait" video but as a genuine explanation of who Flodraulic are and what they can do for companies. I'm in UK and have/had no idea about this company until I saw they were doing this partnership with Edison Motors. I didn't realise they were working with some of the most important and specialised companies. This is so good for EM. I'm even more supportive of this venture with people like this alongside them.

In a short 44 years Flodraulic has become THE household name worldwide. This is exciting to see

This video is great. It explains why your partnership with FloDraulic really matters, and how this new tech is being used. But you've gotta get some better B roll of Topsy. Drive her through some mud, up a steep slope, and pull something heavy. She looks like a street queen compared to the other machines FloDraulic has worked on, pushing dirt and lifting logs.

This will be a solid partnership fellas Vocational rigs will be a solid solution for proof the ideology you two spawned is going to work. Full speed ahead lads!!!

This will be a great partnership. I can't wait to see you guys thrive together in the future!

Very impressive to have come this far and now got the vehicle certified. Kind of a proud moment, even as an observer. Go BC. Canada.

Good teamwork with strong partner is key. There is a lot of under the hood work that people don't always see and working with Flodraulic will definitely help get this project on the road.

I'm a mechanic and just rebuilt a small electric motor, took about an hour, Cost less than $50 in parts, and there was virtually no waste. This was a smaller unit but a similar sized small gasoline engine would have taken 4x as long and cost 4x the amount. The serviceability of this truck looks amazing. Id imagine if a shop had a rebuilt motor on that they could probably swap it while the driver waits in the cab

That truck is a beast!!!!! And a work of art in my opinion!!!! ….. I think hybrid / engine design is a great way to go !!!! …..hope this succeeds because if you can live your dream and help the planet 🌎 at the same time it’s a massive achievement all the way!!!!!

The direction is really good, and having good partners makes it possible to get towards the target. So happy that more people believe in this technology and work on making it available for end users globally!

Looking more and more polished by the day!

Fantastic! Now take topsy to the fully loaded semi truck drag races!!

Looks like a great match up, of multiple companies with a passion to create better products, for a realistic cleaner and greener future.

Nailed the press junket vid. I work in... an adjacent industry; I love what y'all are doing, mechanically and ethically. (But if I hear "electrification" one more bloody time...)

While I don't believe in true zero emissions, But I do believe in severely reducing the emissions that we do have! And these companies are prime examples of what we need to get it done!

Love the production value of this video, it really shows

Great work guys!!! Keep on doing what you're doing!! 🙌🙌

The best part is having a super-intelligent driver involved. His knowledge is priceless; I can tell you firsthand that few end users are involved with the finished truck at the major suppliers. So many designs are like, really, who designed this?

Hey, just checking in, are we going to see a video about driving Topsy around? I know I'm not the only one exited to see the truck on the road :)

100% + with you👍

Awesome video! Really get a sense of why the choice was made to go with these guys.

Flow drawing is great they helped us get what we need. But the moment they start doing stuff that is Anti right to repair we're out 😂😂. But for real congratulations Edison Motors you are continuing on a good path and I'm glad to have seen it so far.

I’m in love with Topsy. I have Topsy envy. I don’t deny it, so please don’t decry it.

Im happy to see a company that's willing to play ball with you! I would advise you to not give up your creative freedom in the deal though. Edison motors is better known than flowdraulic!

Waiting for edison motors to release stock. Still have quite a few investors willing to sink millions into it. And me a few grand. I back this company %100 and always talk it up to my investors as well.

You should look into the ponsse ev1 hybrid harvester run by epec systems. They have retail in milwaukee

Will the cables inside the frame rails be covered with a shield of steel or other material when put into service?

777 upvotes but could not let that stop me!

I love everything you guys do and wish you all the best. However I couldn’t help but notice a rather large number of spelling mistakes on your website. I know this isn’t really a substantial issue, but I think it is worth pointing out so that you don’t irritate potential customers who care about such things.

Good nice thing

Please let Linus do a video at your HQ, it'll be amazing!

Diesel-electric makes so much sense! It's a technology with over 100 years of development and refinement. Also, hybrids don't require the electric power infrastructure to be upgraded as is the case with full electrics.

Has anyone expressed using this for moving those extra large loads where you see them using 5 or 6 tracktors?

0:12 A Grater, what are we grating cheese? :P

You should take a look at JCB’s new hydrogen burning engine/generator as a possible alternative to the diesel generator? I wish someone could come up with a small onboard hydrogen electrolyzer where you could plug your truck into cheap electric and automatically fill up your tanks with hydrogen and top off your batteries, job done a totally 100% clean vehicle?

@samjubilee6593

Ай бұрын

Check out (allegedly) Toyota's engine that runs on water (convert water to HH+O "on the fly"). If reports are true, no need for bottled hydrogen as fuel - simply fill up with water. Stan Meyers was using water as fuel by the late '80s/early '90s. He came up with a way to split water that requires much less energy than does traditional electrolysis. He also came up with electrical technology to keep fresh water from freezing in cold weather. Also of note are Rudy & Peter Gunnerman, who developed engine tech using cheaper fuels (incuding a mix 25% gasoline, with the remainder water with a small amount of surfactant).

Wow

Hey Edison, wondering if you have any average energy economy values for Topsy (km/kWh, or kWh/100km, etc.). I'm an Electrical Engineer and wanted to run a little comparison study against diesel, 100% electric, and hybrid.

Excellent truck design, but we don't need zero carbon.

Still under testing, they did pull a fully loaded trailer, if I remember around 100,000 lbs, around a yard with no issues, video is in the list. They just got a vin and license on it. As per zero carbon, the world needs carbon dioxide, plants need it to survive.

“Zero carbon society” 🤦‍♂️

Electric trucks will come on sooner or later, just because of raw energy efficiency and lower maintenance cost. Torque load factors are going to be issues to start with, which is why trains are diesel electric... no mechanical clutch could stand up to the launch torque load like an electric motor. Hybrids will be the start, but I expect, at least with highway trucks, it will be a saddle pack batteries that can be changed like the battery on you electric shop tool. A robotic drive thru... two changed out... all robotic and digital metering and billing without even getting out of the truck. Five minutes max, every 100/150 miles, time for a coffee and piss.
