With the accelerated transformation of the global logistics industry towards low-carbon, electric tractors have become the main vehicle models for internal transportation in ports, logistics parks, mining yards, and large factories due to their advantages of low energy consumption, low noise, and zero exhaust emissions. The new CAMC electric tractor is optimized for heavy-duty short distance transportation scenarios, and there are significant differences in operation logic, vehicle maintenance, and safety control compared to traditional fuel tractors. If the new car is not operated properly, it will not only accelerate battery and motor loss, but also bring safety hazards. This article explains the correct usage of CAMC electric tractor from five aspects: new car acceptance, driving operation, driving control, parking and charging, and regular maintenance.
After the delivery of the new car, complete acceptance and static inspection must be completed before it is officially put into operation, which is the first step to ensure long-term stable operation. Firstly, verify the vehicle information, including the vehicle certificate of conformity, power battery testing report, and motor controller parameter file, to confirm that the vehicle configuration is consistent with the order. Subsequently, a visual inspection was conducted to check for any scratches or damages on the body, frame, traction pins, and tires. The wiring harness interface and high-voltage component casing were intact, with no signs of looseness or water ingress. Enter the driver's cabin and confirm that the parking brake is in the locked state and the gear is in neutral before powering on. Lightly press the start button to perform a power on self-test on the vehicle, observe the dashboard, and focus on checking the power battery SOC, motor temperature, and high-voltage system fault indicator light. If a red fault warning light appears, do not start the vehicle and contact technical personnel for troubleshooting. Simultaneously check the auxiliary systems: lighting, reverse image, radar, and air brake system. Electric tractors rely on air braking and need to wait for the pressure in the air storage tank to reach the standard range. If the pressure is insufficient, starting is strictly prohibited. Finally, check the traction device to ensure that the traction lock buckle opens and closes smoothly, the locking mechanism is in place, and there is no deformation. All projects must be confirmed to be correct before entering the testing phase.
The torque output characteristics of electric traction vehicles are different from those of fuel vehicles. The starting torque of the motor is large, and the operation during the starting stage should be smooth, avoiding sudden stepping on the accelerator pedal. Release the parking brake, slowly press the power pedal, and start the vehicle smoothly. Under heavy load conditions, do not accelerate to full load at once to prevent instantaneous high current from impacting the power battery and reducing its service life. During the driving process, try to maintain a constant speed and reduce frequent sudden acceleration and braking. The CAMC electric tractor is equipped with an energy recovery system. During deceleration and downhill driving, the motor generates electricity in reverse to supplement the battery. For daily use, it is recommended to shift the energy recovery gear to the medium to low range, and make reasonable use of energy recovery for deceleration on downhill roads to reduce brake system wear. When operating in ports and factories, vehicles must comply with the speed limit regulations of the site and always pay attention to pedestrians, forklifts, and container trailers in the surrounding area. When turning, the electric tractor has a long body and a large turning radius, leaving enough turning space to slow down in advance. It is strictly prohibited to slide in neutral gear during heavy downhill driving. The vehicle speed is controlled through energy recovery and service braking to avoid overheating caused by prolonged continuous braking. Pay attention to various instrument data while driving. If there is a high battery temperature or abnormal motor alarm, immediately slow down, choose a safe area to pull over, cut off the high-voltage power supply for inspection.
After arriving at the loading and unloading site, follow the standard parking procedure. Slow down first, press the brake pedal, wait for the vehicle to come to a complete stop, apply the parking brake, and shift the gear to neutral. The operation of towing and uncoupling a trailer is a high-frequency task, and operational errors can easily lead to accidents. Confirm that the trailer tires are properly padded with triangular blocks to prevent skidding; Slowly operate the unlocking handle of the traction pin, confirm that the lock tongue is fully open, and then slowly move the tractor forward to separate from the trailer. It is prohibited to perform uncoupling operations when the trailer is not secured and personnel are standing in the towing area. Temporarily stop for a short period of time and keep the vehicle powered on at low voltage; Long term parking requires the vehicle's high-voltage system to be turned off. If working in a high-temperature environment for a long time, do not immediately cut off the main power after parking. Keep the vehicle ventilated and cool down, and wait for the battery and motor temperatures to drop before turning off the power.
Charging is the core link in the use of electric traction vehicles, and standardized charging directly determines the battery life. Check the charging gun and cables for damage, aging, and water stains before charging. In a humid environment, dry the charging interface before plugging it in and out. It is strictly prohibited to connect the high-voltage charging gun with water. It is divided into two modes: DC fast charging and slow charging. Daily operations can be selected according to the scheduling plan: fast charging is suitable for scenarios with tight turnover and fast replenishment speed; It is recommended to charge slowly during the idle period of night shift, which is more battery friendly. Confirm that the vehicle has been powered off and the parking brake is locked before charging begins. Connect the charging gun and set the charging limit on the charging station or car screen. It is generally recommended to set the daily charging SOC to 90% and store it for a long time without fully charging. During the charging process, observe the charging power and battery temperature. If there is any abnormal jumping, abnormal noise, or heating, stop charging immediately. After charging is completed, end the charging program first, then unplug the charging gun, properly return the cable, and do not drag or crush the charging cable.
During the running in period of the new car, try to avoid continuous full load and heavy load, and control the duration of continuous operation appropriately. At the end of daily homework, conduct a basic inspection of the vehicle: tire pressure, traction mechanism, brake pipeline, and appearance of high-voltage wiring harness. Regularly carry out maintenance projects according to the CAMC maintenance manual, with a focus on inspecting the power battery pack, motor, controller, and high-voltage connectors. High voltage component maintenance must be carried out by certified professionals. After power failure, wait for sufficient discharge time. Non professionals are strictly prohibited from dismantling the high-voltage system on their own. When stored for a long time, keep the battery level between 40% -60% and park it in a dry and ventilated area to avoid direct sunlight and water accumulation. Recharge the battery periodically to prevent irreversible damage caused by battery depletion.
The core of using electric traction vehicles lies in controlling high voltage safety, protecting the three electrical systems, and cultivating the habit of smooth operation and timely inspection. Strictly following this usage process can not only fully utilize the performance of CAMC electric tractor for heavy-duty transportation, reduce operational energy consumption, but also reduce downtime caused by malfunctions and extend the service life of the entire vehicle.
