# Basics 

Last week, Thor Trucks released the first official photos of their Transformers-inspired truck, and we have to admit, even here at Engineering Things !

• The look of the truck is really cool! Thor Trucks uses the ET-One chassis from Navistar, 
• A Dana axle and
• An electric motor from TM4, 
• The Hydro-Quebec subsidiary, on its prototype electric truck ET-One.

# Competitor of Tesla Semi ?

If we talk about to completion between This trucks and the Tesla semi, it's difficult to guess from now.
The Semi trucks is already taken it's place,
But Thor Trucks are become a topic of discussion.In other hand thor Trucks are far behind the Tesla semi in technology.

So,what are the thoughts of company for taking market ?

Thor trucks is the most focused on battery development and its integration into existing trucks,
so as to be able to convert fossil fuel-fueled trucks into the use of electricity with the help of these technologies.

On the road !

I'm sure they will find interesting their efforts to convert existing electric trucks, But it's hard to imagine that their prototype ET-One will be able to compete with Tesla Semi.
Their truck has several times less race at the same price, even though it can carry the same weight.
And especially when their 480-kilometer version is a few tens of thousands more expensive than the top-of-the-line Tesla Semi with up to 800 km.
The company now has a working prototype of its ET-One, and offered to prospective buyers, and expects to be able to produce the truck in 2019.
 However, there's no indication what the time to ramp up production might be for this 18-person company if some of the big fleet customers place initial orders to trial the trucks, as they have with Tesla.

# The Price.

At this point, however, the company focuses primarily on their prototype. 

ET-One should come to market rather than  The Truck is so powerful be able to carry a 36 ton load.

Price should start at 148,000 $. it's most expensive version should be worth 249,000 $.

This can be improved for taking the place of Tesla semi truck,they should not be so expensive, because the as this same price Tesla semi has more upgraded technology and the main thing is a trust.

So,if Thor want to become the boss they must have to reduce their prices,and should improve their automatic systems.

# Power of this truck.

The plan is to release many versions, which should be differentiated not only by the design & size of the battery,
They also have to work on the increasing the capacity of batteries & reducing the weight of batteries.
But also by performance & also good for company. ET-One will produce the power of 300 to 700 horsepower.
I think the war of taking market has been started.

Basics let's talk.

What seemed like a frivolous idea just a short while ago is looking more and more like a very viable future for transportation fleets, and although Tesla, as always, gets the most coverage for Tesla semi truck,there are a number of other companies building their own electric cargo haulers. 

Among the latest to surface in the news is the startup Thor Motors, which just announced its own offering, the ET-One, said to be available as soon as 2019.

The Class 8 ET-One is claimed to have a hauling capacity of 80,000 pounds and a range of about 300 miles per charge, with a 90-minute charge time.

According to Bloomberg one of the founders of Thor Trucks, Dakota Semler, managed the fleet of trucks at his family's vineyard, first converting them to run on waste vegetable oil, and then turning his sights to the electrification of semis. Instead of building an entire vehicle from the ground up,

 Thor Trucks focuses on what it believes it can do best, which is to optimize its battery packs and electric drivetrain, as well as work on the software that helps to make the most of the capacity.

The price is expected to be about $150,000, which is significantly cheaper than the presumed $180,000 Tesla Semi, but they're also two completely different animals, so to speak. 

It intends to deliver a 70% savings in fuel costs per mile, as well as 60% lower maintenance costs, with the intended market being short-haul and regional fleets. Even aside from the differing specs on the two models, the companies themselves are virtual opposites.

 Whereas Tesla has not only its vehicle production facilities up and running, as well as its own battery production pipeline in place, Thor Trucks is operating out of an LA-area warehouse, where it currently takes existing truck platforms and retrofits an electric drivetrain and battery pack into them according to the needs and specifications of customers.
