Testing occurred at Eaton’s proving grounds in Marshall,
Michigan on a Class 7 demonstration vehicle. The vehicle met key
on-road performance goals, including gradeability and highway
speed, all within a single electric vehicle (EV) system. The
compact system helps increase electrical efficiency and reduce
vehicle weight.
“Our robust solution is built on proven technology to meet the
unique demands of EV trucks,” said Bob Lamanna, vice president and
general manager of Power & Propulsion Solutions at BAE Systems.
“This integrated approach simplifies the complex electric drive
system for trucks and commercial vehicles.”
BAE Systems’ electric motor and suite of modular power
electronics is combined with Eaton’s MD 4-speed EV transmission to
create a comprehensive system for commercial vehicles. It can also
be fitted with Eaton’s HD-4 EV transmission, offering a full line
of electric drive systems for commercial trucks above 19 tons.
The BAE Systems and Eaton system gives original equipment
manufacturers a durable and optimized electric drive solution for a
wide range of platforms. Due to unique architecture, it uses a
reduced number of components, cables, and connections, saving space
and weight on the vehicle. The complete system simplifies the
integration process, improves reliability, increases value, and
lowers overall cost.
BAE Systems’ electric drive technology builds on more than 25
years of innovation that powers low- and zero-emission platforms on
land and sea, including battery electric, fuel cell, and hybrid
electric vehicles. The company has more than 17,000 propulsion
systems operating in transit buses, boats, military, and industrial
vehicles across the globe with over five billion miles of proven
performance.
The BAE Systems demonstration truck will be on display at the
2024 ACT Expo. BAE Systems’ electric propulsion technology is
developed, manufactured, and serviced at its facilities in
Endicott, New York, Rochester, UK, and Guaymas, Mexico.
