Tesla Semi Ready To Replace Diesel Trucks, Says Unit Head As He Cheers EPA's Tough New Standards
Tesla's (NASDAQ:TSLA) Senior Manager of Semi truck engineering, Dan Priestley, has backed the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) stronger Phase-3 emission standards for heavy-duty vehicles.
特斯拉（納斯達克股票代碼：TSLA）半卡車工程高級經理丹·普里斯特利支持環境保護署（EPA）更嚴格的重型車輛第三階段排放標準。
What Happened: Priestley took to X, formerly Twitter, on Friday to announce confidence in the company's semi-truck saying that it is very capable of replacing diesel trucks.
發生了什麼：普利斯特利週五在X（前身爲Twitter）上宣佈對該公司的半卡車充滿信心，稱其完全有能力取代柴油卡車。
Tesla's fleet of Semis ships over 20,000 battery packs from Giga Nevada to its Fremont factory and can carry the same load as any diesel truck, he said, at substantially lower operating costs. "Now, it's about scale," he noted.
他說，特斯拉的半掛車隊將超過20,000個電池組從Giga Nevada運送到其弗裏蒙特工廠，可以承載與任何柴油卡車相同的負荷，運營成本要低得多。他指出：“現在，這與規模有關。”
Tighter emission rules, superior economics, and the electric truck experience will enable full market adoption "faster than many think," Priestley added.
普里斯特利補充說，更嚴格的排放規則、卓越的經濟性和電動卡車體驗將使 “比許多人想象的更快” 全面採用市場。
Every day, the Tesla Semi demonstrates that battery electric trucks can directly replace diesel trucks. With our own fleet of Semis, Tesla has shipped >20,000 battery packs out of Gigafactory Nevada to support Fremont vehicle builds. These trucks run the same route, carrying the...

每天，Tesla Semi都會演示電池電動卡車可以直接取代柴油卡車。憑藉我們自己的半掛車隊，特斯拉已從內華達超級工廠運送了超過20,000個電池組，以支持弗裏蒙特的汽車製造。這些卡車沿着同樣的路線行駛，載有...

The Phase 3 standards for heavy-duty vocational vehicles (delivery trucks, refuse haulers, etc.) will be up to 60% stricter than the previous standards, as per the EPA.
根據美國環保局的說法，重型職業車輛（送貨卡車、垃圾運輸車等）的第三階段標準將比以前的標準嚴格多達60％。
Heavy-duty vehicles account for 25% of all greenhouse gas emissions from transportation. The new rules proposed by the EPA apply from 2027 to 2032 model-year vehicles and are aimed at avoiding 1 billion tons of greenhouse gas emissions through 2055. It is also expected to reap approximately $13 billion in annualized net benefits by then.
重型車輛佔所有運輸溫室氣體排放量的25％。美國環保局提出的新規定適用於2027年至2032年的車型年份車輛，旨在到2055年避免10億噸溫室氣體排放。屆時，預計它還將獲得約130億美元的年化淨收益。
Why It Matters: The Tesla Semi is still in pilot production. During the company's fourth-quarter earnings call in January, Tesla executive Karn Budhiraj mentioned that the company has initiated the next phase of Giga Nevada expansion, focused on incorporating the Semi.
爲何重要：特斯拉半掛車仍在試生產中。在1月份的公司第四季度業績電話會議上，特斯拉高管卡恩·布迪拉傑提到，該公司已經啓動了Giga Nevada擴張的下一階段，重點是整合Semi。
In an episode of Jay Leno's Garage posted on YouTube in December, Tesla executives Lars Moravy and Franz von Holzhausen pegged volume production of the Semi for 2024.
在12月在YouTube上發佈的《傑伊·萊諾的車庫》一集中，特斯拉高管拉斯·莫拉維和弗朗茲·馮·霍爾茨豪森將Semi的批量產量定爲2024年。
They said that the EV giant currently has about 100 Semis in its fleet and is working with PepsiCo, to whom it delivered the first Tesla Semi trucks, to understand the vehicle's durability.
他們表示，這家電動汽車巨頭目前的車隊中約有100輛半掛車，並且正在與百事可樂合作，百事可樂向百事可樂交付了第一批特斯拉半掛卡車，以了解該車的耐久性。
