I like the tag line, "Stealing Tesla's Idea". Keeping the memory alive of Edison stealing ideas from his inventors and claiming them for himself. That guy was a piece of work.

Thanks for sharing Ms.Nikki. Hope things are progressing w/ repairs on BD1 aka Silver Bullet. Happy day to U all!

This is close to how locomotives work. The biggest difference is that locomotives don't use battery packs.

Diesel-electric propulsion is nothing new. It was used already in the 1930's. Almost all big cruise ships - and even smaller ships today use the system and here we talk about really big power. Some big earthmoving machines also use it. Like on locomotives - a lot more practical than mechanical drive and more fuel efficient than hydrostatic drive. But without batteries you don't have a hybrid.

❤ how cool you could visit with Edison...been following them for a while....great idea, hope it works out for them ... Thx Dominique ❤

i love fallowing him building his trucks, thanks

Thanks for sharing Dauminique! I’ve been following Edison for a while, and they’re developing a very strong alternative for operators to consider in the future!

It was good listening to experienced trucker to experienced trucker compare notes about what is needed for a useful truck.

damn didnt expect this collab 👍👍👌

Edison has put alot of thought into the daily operation needs of their product

Awesome!¡!! You go girl!!

Im not gonna lie to anyone. I was not thinking i would like Edison motors, but i love his concept. Modern tech in an old school rig. You even get the diesel sound with the “on board generator”. Thats cool tesla should take notes

Thanks that's some real good News Love It

Welcome to Canada Great video Thanks

Great interview , Hopefully Silver Bullet rolls again soon. 😀

Excellent content! Even if it is uncertain what the future will be regarding drivelines, it is always good to check out the alternatives. Ps. When in Canada, it would be fun to see you check out a cabover so we get your view on the different options.

I drove one of the last LWs made by Canadian Kenworth it had an 8V92 T/A with a 13 speed and a 4 speed "A" box

Like your video and your Truck

Realizing this is a testbed truck, trying out ideas, experiencing concepts to see what unforeseen problems and solutions. Its part of problem solving and progress.

I need a truck that will run 24/7 ,but great video that guy is very smart on his part

They're working on a hybrid pick up too. We've enjoyed watching the process of converting to a hybrid and whats truly amazing no involvement from Canadian Government who have been throwing money around to anyone except proper Canadian innovaters. An FSC Trucking is making progress on the big Ford. Lots of great content.

You do not lose torque with an extension as a rule, yes it does affect an impact gun because of how an impact makes it’s torque, but a vehicle does not have an impact as an engine so they do not suffer the same loss with a driveshaft.

@@wssides Never said anything about it being safe, but the torque is not reduced at the end of the extension if it is used with a torque wrench, now you will have flex in that extension which will cause you to have to turn the torque wrench more degrees to attain the torque setting.

Seems like a torque sensor connected to a limiting feedback circuit would save from snapping drivelines in the first Edison truck?

The whole idea around an Electric Truck is to Eliminate conventional Transmissions and differntials .. Put an electric Motor on each wheel Eliminate all of the drive shafts Just like Oshkosh Military Trucks and Letourneau off road trucks and Diesel Locomotives do .

John Deere is introducing a diesel-electric tractor this summer. Like railroad locomotives. Should be more efficient than hydrostatic transmissions.

Hydrogen fueled engines look a far better alternate power solution for vehicles and equipment that have to do long shifts. Check out what JCB are doing in regards to this, they're putting a massive amount of development in to it with some really interesting results.

What a disaster. Couldn’t even make sure it worked beforehand.

I've been saying for years. That I could go from Pa. to Ca. for $20 in gas. For a car that is. 1000W generator to keep the batteries charged when they need it only. Auto start for the generator. You wouldn't need as many batteries. And no charging stations.
