"Australian company Janus Electric has unveiled what it says is the country’s
first electric prime mover fleet, unveiling four converted heavy haulage
vehicles in Sydney that can swap batteries and provide vehicle to grid
services.
The conversion technologies of Janus is focused on what it says is a sweet spot
in the industry – the need for all heavy vehicles to have a major engine
rebuild after one million kilometres.
“This provides an ideal opportunity to convert to electric,” CEO Lex Forsyth
says. “Electrifying our road network is no longer a pipedream for future
Australia, but a real tangible solution for today that we can act on now.”
The Janus fleet currently features converted prime movers from Kenworth,
Freightliner, Mack, Volvo and Western Star.
“We don’t need to purchase brand new electric vehicles to electrify Australia’s
freight network, our technology simply converts the heavy vehicles already out
on Australia’s roads,” Forsyth said."
